 photographs of the leading apiarists, to 

 sell to those who wanted them. We can 

 now supply the following at 25 cents 

 each : Dzierzon, the Baron of Ber- 

 lepsch, and Langstroth. The likeness 

 of Mr.Langstroth we have copied, is one 

 furnished by his daughter, who says, 

 " it is the only one ever taken when he 

 was in good health and spirits." We 

 are glad to be able to secure one of such 

 a satisfactory nature. 



i@° It would save us much trouble, if

 office, County or State. Also, if you 

 live near one postoffice and get your 

 mail at another, be sure to give the ad- 

 dress we have on our list.

 invigorate the body without intoxica-

 than anything you can use. — Tribune.
