Keep Bees Better! 



That master bee-man, W. Z. Hutchinson, 

 used to sa.v, '"Keep more bees."' Some one 

 has paraphrased this. "Keep better bees." 

 Both pieces of advice are sound, but best re- 

 sults win still be wanting if the bee-keeper 

 neglects to heed a third admonition, " Keep 

 bees better," 



In not one year in twenty is honey so plenti- 

 ful as to glut the market; and. on the other 

 hand, there is scarcely a year in twenty when 

 good bees properly managed will not yield at 

 least some surplus. How shortsighted, then, 

 is the bee-keeper who neglects his bees! 



Comb honey is now selling as high as 20 cts. 

 per lb. wholesale, yet some bee-keeper.s, dis- 

 heartened by past unfavorable seasons, are in 

 danger of allowing their bees to perish this 

 coming winter when a few r>ounds of sugar 

 and a little extra protection will enable them 

 to take advantage of the better season which 

 is pretty sure to follow. 



If in need of feeders or other season- 

 able goods, or if, with wise foresight, 

 you are ready now to make up your 

 order for spring, don't forget that 

 "PIERCE SERVICE— ROOT QUALITY— in- 

 sures SATISFACTION." Catalog and any
