Convention Notices. 



There will be a bee-keepers' convention at River Falls, 

 Wis., Feb. 8, 9. On the evening- of the 8th there will be 

 a stereoptieon lecture by N. E. France. All bee-keepers 

 are invited to participate. A good program has been 

 provided. uitgd *-^»-.t W. H. Putnam. 



The Michigan State Bee-keepers' Association will 

 hold its annual convention Feb. 23 and 24, at the Eagle 

 Hotel in Grand Rapids. The Eagle Hotel is located at 

 65 to 71 North Market St., corner of Louis St., one block 

 south from Monroe St. It will give a rate of $1.50 per 

 day, and furnish a room free for holding the conven- 

 tion. The Michigan State Dairymen's Association will 

 meet in Grand Rapids at the same time, and advantage 

 may be taken of this fact to secure reduced rates on 

 the railroads. When buying your ticket, ask for a cer- 

 tificate on account of the meeting of the State Dairy- 

 men's Association. The secretary of the Dairymen's 

 Association will sign this certificate which will then en- 

 able the holder to buy a return ticket for one- third fare. 

 Several associations often meet in this way, at the same 

 time and place, the .secretary of one association signing 

 the certificates for all of the associations, the same be- 

 ing done with the consent and knowledge of the rail- 

 roads; it simplifies matters. Grand Rapids is the second 

 city in the State, easily accessible from the north, south, 

 and central parts of the State, in the heart of a good 

 bee country, and, with the low rates assured, there 

 should be a large attendance. 



W. Z. Hutchinson, Pres. 



A lot of people who have bought Paroid roofing 

 through the advertising in this paper are inquiring 

 about its needing paint. "It doesn't look as thouirh it 

 would ever need painting," they write. We suggest to 

 these people that after a year or two it would be well to 

 paint their roof with Parine paint, manufactured by 

 F. W. Bird & Son, of East Walpole, Mass. It lasts 

 longer, and doesn't cost as much as oil paint. 



Concerning Incubators. 



There are several good incubators on the market, and 

 they are offered at very reasonable prices; in fact, they 

 are so very low that we are surprised that every family 

 does not have one. But there is one machine that is in 

 a class all hy itself, and all on account of one feature, 

 and a most important one too— a removable chick-tray 

 and nursery. After the chicks are hatched they drop 

 into the chick-tray below the eggs, and when the hatch 

 is all over this tray can be pulled out like a drawer and 

 the little chicks carried to the brooder without handling. 



By taking out this tray the whole interior of the 

 machine is exposed. Every nook and corner is in sight, 

 and can be thoroughly, quickly, and easily cleaned. The 

 incubator referred to is the Gem, made by the Gem 

 Incubator Co., Box 53, Dayton, Ohio. They have a new, 

 large, profussively illustrated catalog that is free for 

 the askinsr, if you mention Gleanings. Send a postal 

 to-day.
