 colonies of bees on band in the fall. 



My average for my whole lot of bees in

 count. 



Last winter all my bee-cellars but two 

 froze badly, and all were wet, but in one. 

 on account of this and their poor condition 

 in the fall. I lost 170 colonies. Of the 120 

 colonies left. I got about 4.000 pounds of 

 honey, and from 14 which I bought I got 

 about 1.000 pounds, being only about 5,000 

 pounds from 134 colonies, with an increase 

 to 280 colonies. The past season was the 

 worst in my experience in this country.

 new season's business in these columns. We 

 request our subscribers to read it. These people 

 have not been in the incubator business as long 

 as some others of our advertisers in this line, 

 but the high quality of their machines is attested 

 by the success they have made. It is generally 

 supposed that a man or a machine is most suc- 

 cessful away from home. If home success is a 

 recommendation, and we believe it is, then the 

 Sure Hatch people have many reasons for con- 

 gratulation, as their machines are used very ex- 

 tensively in their own county and State. Read 

 the advertisement and then write them; they 

 may have just exactly what you want. Please 

 don't forg-et to mention the American Bee Jour-

NEWS AND aOSSlP OP A NEW BOOK ON THE BIBLE have been t 

 current in book and Christian circles everywhere for some months In its K 

 authorship was to be combined the superb talents and literary abilities of 1 

 three of the greatest lights in the world of religious hterature. I 



The book is about to appear and on its title page in collaboration as authors 

 are found the names of that most popular of all wnters. IAN MACLAREN (Rev 

 ^."■"S/.Vf'.TJ' »';?SV'"„:!'iJ "• *'• WMARTOH, D.D.. the great Evangelist, and 

 J. WILLIAM BUCL, Pn.D.t one of the most prominent and popular \/riter^ on 

 Bibhcjil subjects. A MASTERPIECE INDEED must be the book ivhich trails to 

 "s creation such a combination of unmatchable talents. IT IS A MASTER- 

 PIECE— and it is good news we bring our readers when we tell them that after 

 the most persistent endeavor and the most industrious and earnest negotiations with 

 the Publishers, this paper is one of a syndicate which has secured the entire fir^t 

 edition for distribution among their subscribers, not as a means of winning profits, 

 but to encourage the people to become regular readers, because of the unusual 

 pnvileges which are offered regular patrons. 



The book la entitled " THE QOLDEN MORNINO," and while it was intended 

 tobe a fs.oo book, and has everything about it— authorship, illustrations, paper 

 printing and binding- to warrant that price, we have, after many objections and 

 refusals, made lemis whereby WE ARE IN POSITION TO OFFER IT TO OUR 

 READERS AT A GREAT REDUCTION. It contains nearly 800 pages and over 

 Soo superb illustrations. It is printed with clear type- on coated paper, and is 

 bound in beautifully illuminated covers, with gold and colored stamping. 



IT IS IN REALITY THE BIBLE IN STORY FORM arranged so as lo 

 assure a perfect understanding of THE GREATEST OF ALL BOOKS even by 

 htlle children. All ambiguous and obscure phrases and descriptions have been 

 put into language which makes them clear as noon-day. The historic events have 

 been arranged in their proper order, and the story is made continuous and of 

 absorbing interest throughout. Poetical description so freely used in the Bible, 

 and the many Parables, have all received analysis and now appear as plainly told 

 tales which need no interpreter or explanation. 



Hundreds of artistic end accurate pictures have been used to embellish its 

 pages and 6x in the mind of reader or student the scenes so graphically described. 

 No book of a religious nature has ever been -so sumptuously illustrated. This 

 feature alone costing an enormous sum of money, as wery drawing was made 

 especially for this work. 



It will be of highest value to the young, as from a few readings they will • 

 get such an understanding of Bible truths and promises from this book, that it 

 would require years for them to gather through Bible reading or study Indeed 

 one of the chief claims of "THE QOLDEN ftORNINQ" to universal popularity' 

 IS that the children will learn to reverence and love the Bible and to accept its 

 teachings through reading this charmingly written story.
