I will not be without Gleanings, even if it 

 costs me $5.00 a year. Edward Vig, Wis. 



Gleanings is ahead of any other bee paper 

 I have seen yet— more practical, which suits 

 me, for I have no time to waste on something 

 not practical. Mrs. Almeda Ellis, Mo. 



I find more useful information in regard to 

 apiculture m Gleanings than in any other 

 magazine; and I would not be without it, as, 

 cut off from the outer world as we are, with no 

 one to consult with, it is a great help to me, 

 and has saved me many a dollar.
