Having more chickens than my back lot will ac- 

 commodate without crowding, I am going to re- 

 duce my price one-half, on a setting of 15 eggs, to 

 S1.50, from my S25.00 pen of S. C. R, I. Reds. Mr. A. 

 I. Root told me a few days ago that I had the best 

 S. C. R. I. Red rooster he had ever seen. Reports 

 from purchasers of settings show a very high fertil- 

 ity of eggs. Special care used in containers for 

 shipping eggs by express in the U. S., or by parcels 

 post to foreign countries. L. W. Boyden,

Mrs: ^V. Z. Hutchinson — 



Dear Madam; — On June 6th and 7th there was 

 held, under the direction of the Massachusetts Ag- 

 ricultural College, a convention of bee-keepers that 

 was attended by something over one hundred per- 

 sons from various parts of eastern United States. 

 This was the first bee-keepers" assembly after the 

 death of Mr. Hutchinson, the news of which came 

 to us unexpectedly and as a shock. During our 

 morning session of .Ivme 7 several of the pi'ominent 

 bee-keepers expressed their sympathy for you, and 

 reviewed the splendid work of Mr. Hutchinson. It 

 was a unanimous expression that the bee-keeping 

 world has lost an individualistic leader, a clear and 

 concise writer, whose place is not soon to be filled. 

 The most sincere sympathy of those assembled is 

 extended to you. It was desired that this be ex- 

 pressed also through the apicultural press.
