HOW TO 



KEEP BEES 



By ANNA BOTSFORD COMSTOCK 



A charmingly written manual describing clearly 

 and in detail the outfit, first steps, and methods. 

 The author's well-known literary ability has com- 

 bined with her enthusiasm for a subject to pro- 

 duce a very unusual volume. It is a handbook for 

 those who keep bees for happiness and honey, 

 and incidentally for money. It serves as well as 

 an introduction to the more extended manuals 

 already in the field. 



" Finally, with all due deference to the authors 

 of the excellent books on bee culture which we 

 have already, my opinion is that this new book, 

 ' How to Keep Bees,' is the best one for a begin- 

 ner, or one who does not wish or expect to keep 

 more than a dozen colonies, that has yet come be- 

 fore the world."— A. I. Root, in Gleanings, July 1.

Cutting the Green Bone for Hens. 



As the fall season approaches, poultry-keepers who 

 have not acquired the green-cut-bone habit should 

 determine to get in line. They are working at a disad- 

 vantage So much has been written, all to the same 

 purpose, that there can be but one opinion as to the 

 advantage of its use. 



The only question open for discussion is the machine 

 to reduce it with least trouble to the right feeding form. 

 This seems to be very well solved by the F. W. Mann 

 Co., Box :37, Mil ford, Mass.. with their Latest Model 

 Bone-cutter. It has several points of advantage over 

 ordinary bone-cutters, chief of which are its easy run- 

 ning and its grinding of all kinds of bone with meat 

 and gristle without clogging, or other trouble to the 

 operator. 



A peculiarity of the Mann machine is that it adjusts 

 to suit the strength of the operator. It has long been, 

 if not the best type of bone-cutter made, at least one of 

 the first to be considered by any one going to buy. It is 

 sold freely on trial, and shipped anywhere without any 

 advance payment. There can be no question but that 

 an intending purchaser will be serving his best inter- 

 ests by writing the Mann Co., and learning all about 

 their machine and terms before placing an order.

To Make a Success 



■ of keeping bees in large numbers has been the leading 

 theme of the Bee-keepers' Review for this year. Each 

 issue contains one or more articles on this subject from 

 men who have made great successes in this line; and 

 these men are from widely scattered localities, from 

 Vermont to California, and from Cuba and "Texas to 



.Minnesota. If you are at all interested in making your 



business grow until it brings you in thousands of dollars 

 a year, send ten cents for three late but different issues 

 of the Review, and the ten cents may apply on any sub- 

 scription sent in during the year.
