INSURANCE AGAINST LOSS 



NOT A TWENTY-YEAR, BUT A ONE -YEAR POLICY 



If, on !i (did blustery winter day, au insurance agent should walk into your office and 

 say that he would like to insure your bees asainst loss in the spring, wouldn't you be interest- 

 ed? But if he should say that for about 80 cents he would insure each colony for about 25 

 years, wouldn't you be greatly interested ? That would be only about SV^c per year on 

 $20.00, or a little over l^/o mills per dollar. This is practically what the Forehand Feeder does. 



The Forehand Feeder is the insurance we are offering you. It is not only an insurance 

 but a wise investment — one that will pay big interest on the feed that it saves, the time it 

 saves and the trouble and labor it avoids. It will last you at least 25 years. It will not 

 only help you with your spring problems but all the year round. Let usteill you alxjut the 

 Forehand Feeder as an insurance and profitable investment. 



The Forehand Feeder is not a twenty-year policy. It pays big profits the first year. 

 It is a one-year policy. You can cash in on it the first day. Write us at once for the 

 "Forehand Feeder Insurance Policy." It e.xplains fully about our feeder.

FINAL ANNOUNCEMKXT A8 TO SECURING BACK NUM- 

 BERS AND VOLL'.MKS OF GLEANINGS 



So many have taken advantage of the advertised 

 opportunity to complete their back volumes of 

 Gleanings, that our stock of old Gleanings is much 

 reduced. But we can still furnish complete in sin- 

 gle copies, at 50c a rear, the following years: 1873, 

 1874, 1876, 1888, 1890 to 1899 inclusive, 1901, 

 1904, 1905, 1907, 1909, and 1910. All other years 

 lack some numbers. In bound volumes, we can fur- 

 nish all years except 1875, 1878, 1902, and 1903, 

 at $1.50 per bound volume. While chance remains, 

 take advantage of the opportunity to get the best 

 and lowest-priced beekeeping literature that can be 

 bought. \''ou don't have to buy complete years. Send 

 a dollar (or more), and tell us to send you as many 

 copies of back Gleanings as the sum will pay for, 

 designating about what years you would prefer (re- 

 membering none of 1916-1919 are now left). Ad- 

 dress Gleanings in Bee Culture, Medina, Ohio.
