In order lo satisf v the demand for small packa- 

 ges for Extracted iloney. I have heretofore pro- 

 cured kegs intended tor t.yrup. tlsh, lard. etc.. and 

 in view of this growing trade. I now feel justified 

 in huving made to order aSpeclul Ketc 



Designed Expressly for Honey, 



These I am obliged to buy in large quantities in 

 order to supply them at popular prices, and pro- 

 cure a package not used for any other purpose. 

 They are made oi Norway Pine, and have from 7 

 to !i chine lioops on ea- h end. 



I have tested a sample keg by tilling it DRY with 

 white cluver honev, 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 fluvor the 

 honey. 



Capacity, 175 pounds Price, HOc. each. 



The t1r!«t car load of these kegs will arrive about 

 Sept. I' th. and all orders will receive my prompt 

 attention.

MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Latisiiig. Pro/essoT of EntomolOQy in the 



State AgricQltnral College of Uichigan* 



S3SO Pares; 1S3 Fine Illualrutlona. 



This l8 a new edition of Prof. Cook's Manual of 

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies was exhausted Id 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedcHted in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work has beeo 

 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 beesv 

 full desccrlptioDs of honey-producing plants.trees 

 shrubs, etc.splcndidly Illustrated— and last,thouKb 

 not least, detailed instructions for the various 

 manipulations necessary in the apiary. 



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 times*' 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It Is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Recul the follmviny opmions of the Book : 



All apree that it Is the work of a master and of 

 real yaiue.—L' Apiculture, Paris. 



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

 can worlis.— Lewis T. Coluy. 



It appears to ha^e cut the pround from under 

 future book-makers.— iin(u/i Bee Jisurnal, 



Prof. Cook's valuable Miinual has been ray con- 

 stant guide in my operations and successful man- 

 agemeutof tlie apiary.— J. P. West. 



I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prot. Cook's New Manual of the Apiary than trom 

 any other book.— E. H. VVynkooP. 



This book Is Just what everyone interested Id 

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

 it, will ever regret having purcnased.— iVtc/t. Far. 



To all who wish to engage *n bee-culture, » 

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

 exhaustive work.— Zffra/d, Mouticello, III. 



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

 1b fuiIy up with the iimes in every particular. The 

 richest rewam awaits its author.- A. E. Wenzel. 



My success has been so preat as to almost aston- 

 tab myself, and much ot it is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested intormation contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— Wm. VAX A.NTWJEUl'. M. D 



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

 the bee and hives, with their implements. 1 1 is of 

 value to all bec-rajsers.— fi^i/. Live Stock liecord. 



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

 I have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or toreign. which 1 like so much.— L'ABltE DO" 

 Bois, editor of the BuLetin D' ApxcuUeur, 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 botanicaldescription ot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account ot the 

 enemies 01 bees.— jOcmocmf, Pulaski, N. V. 



We have perused with great plea.'«ure this vode 

 mfcitj/t ot the bee-keeper. It Is replete with the 

 beat intormation on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. Toal taking an intere?t in this subjecU 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it carerully 

 and practice as advised.— -Aaricu/turiif, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leadtnfj 

 bee-meu 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 man will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It ie 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credU 

 to the West.— irtiUmayricu/tiirtsf. 



This work is undoubtedly the most co7iplete 

 manual lor the insinicuon of bee-keepers which 

 bait ever been publiMhed. It gives a full ex(,lana- 

 tlon regarding the cure and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees letf untouched, and in the compilatum of 

 the work Prof. Couk has hud the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlcde of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of aliocci:pa4ton8.—.amcrtcan Inventor.
