THIS is the title of a neatly print-

 process of extracled-honey i)roduction

 with the chapter on "Preparing Colo- 

 nies for the Honey-How," the booklet 

 concludes with a description of "Pack- 

 ages for Extracted Honey." 



Many helpful and valuable sugges- 

 tions will be found within the 44 pages 

 this booklet contains, and it is a pleas- 

 ure to announce its addition to our

Buyer's Bureau 



Near the close of last year we annoiinced that 

 the publishers of this journal had decided upon 

 a rather novel innovation — the founding of a de- 

 partment in Gleanings in Bee Cultuke which 

 would be entirely devoted to those of our readers 

 who were confronted with buying problems. The 

 purpose of the " Buyers" Bureau,"' as announced at 

 the time of its inaviguration, is to furnish detailed 

 information on whatever article or articles per- 

 taining to bee-keeping, farming, poultry-raising, 

 home-keeping, or, in fact, any subject whatever 

 that may for the time hold the interest of our 

 inquirer. If you are thinking of buying any thing, 

 from a queen-bee to a kitchen-stove, an automobile 

 or a lawn-mower, a washing-machine or a piano: 

 then, if you desire our services, you are right in 

 line to ask and receive our cooperation. 



No charge whatever is made for services ren- 

 dered by the "Buyers" Bureau." 



many headers, many RE«T'IREMENTS. 

 It is trul.v wonderful to learn of the many differ- 

 ent articles in which a large family of readers — 

 such as (iLEANiNtJS IN Bee Culture boasts— are 

 interested. Almost deaily we receive inquiries for 

 information on quality, price, or source from 

 which obtained, on goods ranging from automo- 

 biles to water-filters and Western lands. Naturally 

 we devote considerable time and attention to every 

 request, and duplicate reports of facts obtained are 

 systematically filed in our "Buyers' Bureau," 

 where ready reference to them may be had for any 

 other inquirer. So far our read.v-reference file 

 numbers some fifty compartments into which cata- 

 alogs, manufacturers' bulletin sheets, etc., are 

 placed, each compartment containing literature, 

 etc., with reference to a particular line of goods: 

 No. 14, for illustration, hardware supplies; No. 38, 

 clothing, dry goods, shoes, etc. Thus it will be 

 seen that our eff<3rts to make the "Buyers' Bureau" 

 of real service to ever.v one of our readers are most 

 sincere. I'se this department freely whenever you 

 can. Frequent use helps us to keep the service 

 down to date.
