Books and Bulletins 



CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING. 



Farmers' Bulletin 1144, United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, "Co-operative Marketing," 

 should be of special interest to those beekeepers 

 who are interested in marketing honey co-operative- 

 ly. This bulletin tells under what conditions co-opera- 

 tive marketing may be expected to be successful, 

 and under what condition it should not be at- 

 tempted. The forms of organization, the selection, and 

 the qualifications of the management are discussed, 

 and suggestions are given for organizing co-operative 

 associations. This bulletin can be secured free by 

 writing the Department of Agriculture, Washington, 

 D. C. 



ALSIKE CLOVER. 

 Farmers' Bulletin 1151, on Alsike Clover, recent- 

 ly issued by the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture, is filled with valuable information in re- 

 gard to this excellent honey plant. It contains a 

 map of the United States showing where- alsike 

 clover is regularly used as a forage or seed crop. 

 The author states that in many of the northern 

 States this clover is sown on probably 75 per cent 

 of the clover and timothy acreage. The mixing 

 of alsike and red clover is recommended wherever 

 it is difficult to get a stand of red clover, thus in- 

 suring a stand on spots where red clover does not 

 catch. It is pointed out that a mixture of alsike 

 clover with timothy or red clover when grown for 

 hay gives a greater yield than when either is grown 

 alone, besides improving the quality of the hay. A 

 wide distribution of this bulletin among farmers 

 thruout the alsike-clover territory should be a great 

 boon to leekeepers in this region. This bulletin 

 may be had for the asking by writing to the United 

 States Department of Agriculture, Washington.
