GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



February, 1917 



*The Big Desire In Every Man 



Is to own a few acres of land, ' ' says 

 Jacob Bigg-le in his characteristi- 

 cally interesting" article in the Feb- 

 ruary issue of The Farm Journal. 

 Some other worth while remarks, 

 too — about the age-old question of 

 "Land for the landless" and our 

 first President who was also a farmer.

GARDEN TOOLS 



Answer the farmer's big questions: 

 How can I have a good garden with 

 least expense? How can the wife 

 have plenty of fresh vegetables for 

 the home table with least labor? 

 TD/^ \T A r^xr Combined Hill 

 IKUIS ALrH, and Drill Seeder 



solves the garden labor problem. 

 Takes the place of many tools — 

 stored in small space. Sows, cov- 

 ers, cultivates, weeds, ridges, 

 etc., better than old-time tools. 

 A woman, bey or girl can 

 push itand doaday's hand- 

 work in 60 

 minutes. 38

A MARYLAND BEE - MAN 



Continued from page 104. 



sidered it practical to move colonies to a 

 very favorable location temporarily for a 

 certain flow, then elsewhere for another 

 flow and then back home the same season, 

 he answered that he had never tried it, 

 but was accustomed to moving a large 

 number of colonies in changing the loca- 

 tion, and sees no difficulty whatever in 

 the moving part of it. 



FEELS NEED OP AN AUTO TJRUCK. 



Mr. James has had a horse since his 

 second year on the new place, but I can see 

 that he will be ready to buy an auto before 

 many seasons have passed, to take him 

 and his sujDplies back and forth. Such 

 time-saving methods will enable him to 

 extend his operations. 



IS PRESIDENT OF THE STATE BEEKEEPERS^ 

 ASSOCIATION. 



He has been president of the Maryland 

 BeekeeiDers' Association off and on for a 

 number of years, and was again elected to 

 the position last November. He is a mem- 

 ber of the Methodist Church, teaches the 

 men's Bible class, and has superintended 

 the Sunday-school His farm, located on 

 a high ridge near Hyde's Station, Md., and 

 bordering Long Green Valley, has an eleva- 

 tion of 600 feet above sea-level. 



I shall surely visit Mr. James again next 

 swarming time, if- i:)ossible.
