A Photograph of Dr. Miller. 



We feel that many of the friends of the 

 late Dr. Miller would be pleased to have a 

 characteristic photograph of him taken in 

 his late days. We have such a photographic 

 negative of him, with the happiest expres- 

 sion on his face. We would like to present 

 such a photo to every friend and admirer 

 of Dr. Miller, thus establishing a memorial 

 to him in their home. Yet the expense for 

 a single such photo is not inconsiderable at 

 this time, and would be very large in the 

 aggregate if all his friends were to be sup- 

 plied gratis. But this we can afford to do 

 and will do: send one of these handsome, 

 unmounted photographs of Dr. Miller to 

 all friends of his who care to send us a 

 year's subscription to Gleanings for some 

 beekeeping acquaintance of theirs.
