INCREASE. 



Third edition. This is the first of a series of papers 

 on apiculture by Swarthmore, and has proved to be his 

 most popular book. It tells of a safe method of forming 

 new colonies without breaking up working stock. Col- 

 onies formed on this plan will work like new swarms 

 and store surplus. This third edit on is printed on fitt- 

 ed paper in two colors, with a striking cover, making a 

 handsome book. The price is only 25 cts. postpaid . 



ADVANCED BEE CULTURE. 



New edition. Exhaustive review of this book is given 

 in editorial, pages 71. We expect our supply within a 

 few days, so that the book can be obtained promptly 

 from Medina, or any branch house or agent within a 

 short time. Price $1.20 postpaid. 



Convention Notices. 



The Colorado State Bee-keepers' Ass'n convention 

 will be held in the Chamber of Commerce, Denver, 

 Jan. 30,31, 190<j. This will be during "farmer's week," 

 when many farm organizations meet in the city, and 

 low railroad fares are assured. As usual we expect a 

 gODd convention— possibly some new features, such as 

 a competition in putting up sections and putting in 

 starters. R. C. Aikin, Sec. 



THE MICHIGAN STATE BEE-KEEPERS' CONVENTION. 



Michigan State bee-keepers will hold their annual 

 convention Feb. 1 and 2, in the parlors of the Black- 

 man Hotel at Jackson. The Michigan Dairymen will 

 hold their annual convention at the same time in Jack- 

 son, and the holding of the two conventions at the same 

 time secures suflJicient attendance to allow the railroads 

 to give reduced rates one and one-third fare, provid- 

 ing that your fare going to Jackscn amounts to seventy- 

 five cents. When you buy your ticket ask for certifii- 

 cate on account of Michigan State Dairyman's Conven- 

 tion, and when the Secretary of that Association signs 

 your certificate, you can secure your return ticket for 

 one- third fare.
