GOOD queens advertise themselves. It takes 

 expensive advertising to sell poor queens, and if 

 you don't believe it try it. We believed in for- 

 mer years we had the best three-banded queens 

 obtainable. We still believe it. Our customers 

 also tell us the same. Try a few. We have dropped 

 the price in reach of all this year. We will have 

 a few virgins for 50c when we have a surplus of 

 them. We can furnish either from imported or 

 Americanized mothers. Untested, $1.00; selected, 

 $1.25; tested, $2.00; selected, $2.50. F. M. Rus- 

 sell, Roxbury, Ohio. 



FOR SALE — 250 to 350 colonies of fine Italian 

 bees on good straight L combs with a full equip- 

 ment of suppjies for extracted-honey production. 

 Also 47 acres land in Harrison County. Iowa, near 

 town; has about 20 acres fine natural basswood 

 grove. Has good improvements, especially for bee- 

 keeping. Probably as good an equipment as there 

 is in the state. This is a good paying business, 

 with outyards already established, everything 

 complete. Can give long time on part of the 

 price, but would require $8000 or $9000 to swing 

 it. Any one having that much capital to invest in 

 a dandy country home and a paying business, will 

 find it by addressing E. S. Miles & Son. Dunlap, 

 Iowa. 



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
