We wish every reader of the American Bee-Keeper to become acquaint 

 Gleanings in Bee Culture. We extend a cordial invitation in our offer to send^ 

 paper ten weeks for ten cents. 



There is no bee paper in the world like Gleanings. Its aim is to meet the W 

 every bee-keeper everywhere and it does it. Whether you own one colony or 

 sand, or are merely interested, you cannot aflford to miss a single number. Gl^ 

 is progressive. Every number is an improvement over the last. '| 



CONTRIBUTORS— It is useless to state that Gleanings excels in this p^ 

 regular department is edited by Dr. C. C. Miller, G. M. Doolittle, Prof. A. J. 

 J. A. Green and Louis SchoU. These names speak for themselves for they are tl 

 writers of the day. Every issue contains articles from the pens of the best bee-l 

 all over the land. A list of them would be the catalog of the most successful bet 

 ers the world over. We will soon begin a series of remarkable articles by E. W 

 ander. We are safe in saying a higher price was never paid for an article of thi 

 as we paid for a single one of this series. Every one of them will be worth hund: 

 dollars to bee-keepers. 



HALFTONE ILLUSTRATIONS— During the past summer we have had a 

 artist to take photographs for us. He has traveled on our account alone the pas 

 mer over 4,000 miles, and we can promise some very fine picttives. Many of the 1 

 Prize Phot6 Contest, American and foreign, will appear soon. Our engravings ar 

 by the very finest engravers in the United States. Just this wealth of illust 

 doubles the value of the paper.
