New Kegs 



FOR HONEY. 



In <»rder to satisfy the demand for small packa- 

 ges for Extracted Honey. I have heretofore pro- 

 cured keps Intended for syrup. Ash. lard, etc., and 

 in view of this Kr<)wint; trade. I now feel justified 

 in having made to order aSpeclul K-^*Br 



Designed Expressly for Honey. 



These I iiiii obliu'ed t<> huy in larfre quantities in 

 order to supply them at popular prices, and pro- 

 cure a package not used for any other purpose. 

 They are nnide of Norway Pine, and have from 7 

 to !i chine hoops on ea<h end. 



I have tested a sample kep by filling it DRY with 

 white clover honey, and without the heads being 

 painted. 



It neither leaks nor flavors the Honey. 



It is not necessary to paint the heads, but when 

 painted I will guarantee them not to leak, and if 

 well scalded, the pine will not fliivor the 

 honey. 



Capacity. IT.t pounds Price, >^0c. each. 



The first car load of these kegs will arrive about 

 Sept. iMtli. and all orders will receive my prompt 

 attention.

The Bee-Keeper's Guide; 



OR, 



MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Projessor of Entomology in t-he 



State Agricultural College of Michigaxu 



320 Pases i 133 Fine lUustrutlona. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly Illustrated. 

 The first edition of S.OOO copies was exhausted In 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annalaof 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 products of the Honey Bee ; the races of bees; 

 full desccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees^ 

 shrubs, etc. .splendidly Illustrated— and lasLthougb 

 not least, detailed instructions for the various 

 manipulations necessary in theapiiiry. 



This work is a masterly production, and one that 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 afford 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 oyxnions of the Book; 



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

 real value.— L'^picxt/ture, Paris. 



I think Cook's Manual is the best of our Ameri- 

 can works.— LEWIS T. COLUV. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under 

 future book-makers.— iJri(w/i Bee Jeurnal. 



Prof. Cook's valuable Manual has been my 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 of the Apiary than from 

 auy other book.— E. U. Wynkoop. 



This book is Just what everyone interested in 

 bees ought to have, and which, no one who oDtaina- 

 it, will ever reyrut having purcnascd.— iVf tc/i. Far. 



To all who wish to engage 'n bee-culture, a 

 manual is a necessity. Prof. Cook's Alanual is aci 

 exhaustive work.— Herald , Monticello, 111. 



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

 is fuily up with the times in every particular. The- 

 richest rewaiTl awaits its author.— A. E. Wknzel. 



My success has been ao great as to almost aston- 

 ish myself, and much of it Is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested Information contained in Cook's Man- 

 uai.— WM. Van A-NTWERF, M. U 



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

 the bee and hives, with their implements. It la" of 

 value to ail bee-raisers.- Ky- Live Stock Record. 



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

 1 have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or loreign, which I like so much.— L'Abbe DC 

 Bois, editor of the BuLetin £>' ApiciUteuTt France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these In- 

 dustrious insectii, but also a thorougli. practical, 

 and clearly expressed series of directions for their 

 management; also a botanical description ot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the- 

 enemies ox bees.- i>emocraf, Pulaski. N. V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mecumot the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To al taking an hitere^-t in this subjectv 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it carotully 

 and practice as advised.— ^0ricui(urti>(, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 treatise ou bee-culture in Europe or America; a. 

 scientidc work on modern bee management that 

 every experienced bee- roan will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur In bee-culture. It ie 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to the WesU— Western AgricuUurist. 



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 la no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees Ictr untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Proi. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous knuwlcde of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular ttiis most 

 interestingoi alloccupatiouB.- .<lfuenca7i jFnvetitor.
