GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTUKK.

Regarding Our Advertisers. 



J. B. Armstrong & Son, Shenandoah, Iowa, whose 

 ad. appears on page 170, have issued their 24th annual 

 feed-corn catalog. They will send this instructive 

 book and generous samples of corn and field seeds free. 



Kitselman Bros., Muncie, Ind., make a stock-proof 

 fence which really has merit. Their fences are grow- 

 ing into very wide use. They make a liberal trial offer 

 in their ad. on page 167, and have a 40 page catalog tor 

 free distribution. 



Mr. J. Wallace Page is 1o be congrratulated on the 

 large and successful business he has built up during the 

 last twenty-two vears. The secret of his success is a 

 well-known one— goods of the highest quality, and 

 square business methods. The Page Woven Wire Fence 

 Co.'s adv't appears on page 167. Write for their free 

 printed matter. 



Berry's Golden Rule Poultry Farm is a name new to 

 poultry-men. The firm, however, is not new in the 

 poultry basiness, and they handle many of the latest 

 varieties. The new Biddy incubator which they man- 

 ufacture is worth knowing about. See the Berry adv't 

 on page 174. 



Mr. A. L. Rice, Adams, N. Y., in his adv't on page 

 167, tells of his new cold-water paint for barns and 

 buildings, and his oil paints for interiors. Mr. Adams 

 advocates the plan of painting frequently, and using 

 good paint. Surely experience has proved that this is 

 the profitable way. Free samples and color-cards will 

 be sent if requested. 



Mr. Chas. A. Cyphers, Buffalo, N. Y., presents the 

 subject of poultry cuiturein a new, helpful, and at- 

 tractive way in his book, " Eggs, Broilers, and Roast- 

 ers." This book is the best on this subject we have 

 ever seen. It is well worth sending for. Mr. Cyphers 

 promises to send it free to all who ask for it. 



The name "Iron Age " has come to be known wher- 

 ever farm implements are used. The Bateman Mfg. 

 Co., Box 120, Grenloch, N. J. (ad. on page 165), issue a 

 very fine catalog this year. It shows about every imple- 

 ment a farmer could use, from cultivators and seeders 

 to sprayers and diggers. The book is for free distribu- 

 tion. 



A 180-page catalog is a rather large book for free dis- 

 tribution, especially when so attractively printed and 

 profusely illustrated as the catalog of the Ohio Carriage 

 Mfg. Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. Every thing in Split Hick- 

 ory carriages and vehicles will be found in this book. 

 See the offer made in this company's ad. on page 169. 



A great stride was taken in the advertising of rail- 

 roads when the Southern Pacific appropriated $100,000 

 for advertising their road in the leading magazines. 

 Their advertisements tell of the great scenic beauty of 

 their route, and make known their offer to send an illus- 

 trated book, "The Road of a Thousand Wonders," free. 

 For the benefit of our readers who wish to send for this 

 book we give the address of the distributor: Chas. S. 

 Fee, Passenger Traflic Manager, S. P R. R., 431 Califor- 

 nia St., San Francisco, Cal. This entire series of adver- 

 tising was prepared and is being placed by the N. W. 

 Ayer Advertising Agency, Philadelphia. 



We wish to announce the change in the firm name of 

 our jobbing agent in Central Pennsylvania. Prothero 

 & Arnold, Dubois, Pa., have sold out to Frank W. 

 Prothero, of the same city. Mr. Prothero will continue 

 to be the sole manager of the business as heretofore, 

 but the business has been greatly enlarged. We have 

 already shipped them a large car of all kinds of sup- 

 plies and expect to ship them several more in the near 

 future. Mr. Prothero has in his large establishment 

 every facility for the quick and careful handling of or- 

 ders, and our customers in West-Central Pennsylvania 

 will save time and money by sending their orders 

 there. 



E. C. GREEN & SON, SUCCESSORS TO A. I. ROOT IN HIS 

 SEED BUSINESS 



For its size there is surely not a better seed catalog 

 issued than Mr. Green's. It is packed full of valuable 

 garden information— not an inch wasted on any thing 

 that does not appeal to the average garden-maker. It 

 is illustrated with beautiful, truthful halftones. Com- 

 plete prices, which will pay you to see. You had better 

 write Mr. Green to-day, asking for a copy. Below is a 

 reduced halftone of their cover for 1906.
