 name on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it indicates the time to which 

 you have paid. Always send money 

 by postal order, registered letter, or 

 by draft on Chicago or New York.

 are not taken by the banks in this city 

 except at a discount of 25 cents, to pay

Rheumatism is the most terrible 

 disease that has ever afflicted human- 

 ity, yet it instantly yields to the 

 powerful drugs that Kendall's Spavin 

 Cure is composed of. 



t^W It would save us much trouble, 

 if all would be particular to give their 

 post office address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no 

 name, post-office, County or State. — 

 Also,if you live near one postoffice and 

 get your mail at another, be sure to 

 give the address we have on our list.

 in getting up a club for the Bee Jouk- 

 nal. Read the list of premiums on 

 another page, and take advantage, of 

 the fall gatherings to get up clubs. 



It is Worth Remembering that no- 

 body enjoys the nicest-surroundings if 

 in bad health. There are miserable 

 people about to-day with one foot in 

 the grave, when a bottle of Parker's 

 Ginger Tonic would do them more 

 good than all the doctors and medi- 

 cines they have ever tried. See adv.

The Bee-Keeper's Guide; 



manual of the apiary, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Professor of Entomology in the 



State Agricultural College of Michigan. 

 JISOPairi'H; 188 Fine Illustration*. 



This is a new edition of Prof. Cook's Manual of 

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of ;i,0(.!0 copies was exhausted In 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 



annals of bee-culture. This new work has been 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineation 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honey bee. 

 illustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

 the productsof the Honey Bee ; the racesot bees; 

 full descriptions of honey -producing plant.-,. trees, 

 shrubs, etc., splendidly Mlustrated-and last, though 

 not least, detailed instructions tor the various 

 manipulations necessary in the apiary. 



This wurk is a masterly production, and one that 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 aflord to do without. It is fully "up with the limes" 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Read the following opinions of the Hook; 



All agree that it is the work of a master and of 

 real value.— L'Apicutture, Paris. 



I think CooVs Manual is the best of our Ameri- 

 can works.- LEWIS T. COLUV. 



It appears to ha^e cut the ground from under 

 future book-makers.— British Bee Jottrn.it. 



Prof. Cook's valuable Manual has been mv con- 

 stant guide in my operations and successful man- 

 agementof the apiary.— J. P. WEST. 



I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. Cook's New Manual ot the Apiary than Irom 

 any other book.^E. H. WynkoOp. 



This book is just what everyone interested In 

 bees ought to have, and which, no one who obtains 

 it, will ever regret having puicnased.— Mich. Far. 



To all who wish to engage : n bee culture, a 

 manual is a necessity. Prof . Cook's Manual is an 

 exhaustive work.— H era Id, Monticello, 111. 



With Cook's Manual I am more than pleased. It 

 is fu.ly up with the tunes in every particular. The 

 richest reward awaits its author.— A. E. Wenzel. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myselt. and much of it is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested information contained tn Cook's Man- 

 uai.-W.M. Van Antwerp, m. D 



It is the latest book on the bee, and treats of both 

 the bee and hives, with their implements. It is of 

 value to all bee-raisers.— Ky. Live Stock Record. 



It is a credit to the author as well the publisher. 

 I have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or foreign, which 1 like- so much.— L'ABBE I)u 

 Bois, editor of the Bulletin D' Apiculteur, France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed series of directions for their 

 management; also a botanicaldescnptionot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of bees.— Democrat, Pulaski. N. V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mecum of the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To al takingun interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it careiully 

 and practice as advised.— Agriculturist, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Europe or America; a 

 scientific work on modern bee management that 

 every experienced bee roan will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It ib 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to the West.— Western AgricuLu 1 1st. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual tor the instruction of bee-keepers which 

 has ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the care and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees left untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular tins most 

 interesting of alloccupa-tions.— A mencan Inventor.
