MISCELLANEOUS. 



MEDICINAL roots and herbs are very profitable 

 to grow. We especially recommend growing Golden 

 Seal, which with good care will yield as high as 

 $10,000 per acre for each crop. It takes several 

 years to mature but will average $1000 a year. 

 Special Crops, a monthly paper, tells how. Sample 

 copy, 10c; $1.00 per year. Address Special Crops 

 Pub. Co., Box "G," Skaneateles, N. Y. 



WOULD you like to buy your beekeepers' sup- 

 plies of yourself and have your honey sold for you 

 and all the profits returned ? This is what about 

 fifty beekeepers in Michigan and adjoining States 

 are doing. It only costs $10 per share to be one 

 of the company of producers who are doing this 

 same thing. If you live within a thousand miles of 

 Detroit, Michigan, where we shall maintain a ware- 

 house and office, you should take advantage of this 

 proposition while there is stock for sale. The stock 

 is nearly half taken without canvassing, and this 

 notice should soil the bnlnnoe of the $10,000 stock we 

 are commencing with. E. D. Townsend, Northstar, 

 Michigan, is chairman of the Board of Directors of 

 the MICHIGAN HONEY PRODUCERS' EX- 

 CHANGE, INC. He is selling stock. All pro- 

 ducers of honey in this territory should write him 

 for full particulars.
