"Forty Years 

 Amon^ the Bees 



95 



Sy Dr. C. C. Miller 



One of the Best -Known Honey - Producers in all the 



World 



THIS bool; of over 340 pages tells 

 just how Dr. Miller manages his 

 apiaries to produce the most 

 honey, which, in turn, brings the most 

 money. Dr. Miller has been 

 "at it" some 45 years, and so 

 is competent to tell others 

 the best way to be success- 

 ful with bees. la 1903 his 

 crop of comb honey was 

 over 18,000 pounds, and he is 

 not located in the best honey- 

 producing part of the United 

 States, either Northwest- 

 ern Illinois. 



The book is bound in substantial 

 cloth, gold-lettered, and is sent post- 

 paid for only $1.00; or with 

 the American Bee Journal 

 one year for $1.50. (Or send 

 us 4 new subscriptions to the 

 Bee Journal— with $3.00 -and 



we will mail you the book free as a 

 premium.) Every bee-keeper ought 

 to have both the book and the Bee 

 Journal, if not already possessors of 

 them. 



As X)r. Miller gets a royalty 

 on his book— so many cents 

 on each copy sold— every 

 bee-keeper who buys it is 

 thus helping a little to repay 

 him for his effort to lead 

 others to success through his 

 writings on bee-culture. 



As we have a good stock of 

 these books on hand, we can 

 fill all orders by return mail. This 

 is the time of year to read up on bee- 

 keeping. Better send us your 

 order at once for Dr. Miller's 

 book, and study it carefully 

 so as to make the most of the 

 bee-season. Address, 



GEORGE W. YORK (H CO.."«^k'icSlS?iLl^''"-
