THE INDEPENDENT. 



THE Independent needs only to be better 

 known to add to its already large list of friends. It 

 has been published for thirty-five years and has 

 acquired a world-wide reputation as the best re- 

 ligious and literary newspaper. 



THE Independent is not denominational. Its 

 creed and field are broader than any sect. As a 

 Christian journal, its aim is to strengthen and ex- 

 tend Evangelical religion and to defend it against 

 the attacks of Materialism, Atheism and unbelief. 

 It is free to approve or criticise in any of the de- 

 nominations whatever it believes is designed to 

 advance or hinder the progress of the Gospel of 

 Christ. 



In civil and political affairs The Independent 

 will contend for sound ideas and [irinoiples. It 

 fought against slavery and the iniquitous system 

 of the Oneida Community. It is now fighting 

 against Mormonism. It believes in the reform of 

 the civil Service and tariff, in the purification of 

 politics and in cheap postage, and will maintain 

 those principles which the highest ethics and best 

 intelligence require. 



The Independent is designed to suit all tastes 

 and wants. We provide weekly stories by the best 

 magazine writers, poems by the leading poets of 

 America and England (we first published in Amer- 

 ica Tennyson's last poem), and for others, who look 

 especially for instruction, whether in religious, 

 literary, educational, philosophical, or scientific 

 articles, we furnish what no other periodical does 

 or can. We pay large prices to obtain the most 

 eminent writers. Besides the editorials, there 

 are twenty-two distinct departments, edited by 

 twenty-two specialists, which include Biblical Re- 

 search, Sanitary, Legal, Fine Arts, Music, Science, 

 Pebbles, Personalities, Ministerial Register, Hymn 

 Notes, School and College, Literature, Religious 

 Intelligence, Mis8ion8,Sunday School, News of the 

 Week. Finance, Commerce, Insurance, Stories, 

 Puzzles, Selections, and Agriculture. 33 Puees 

 In all. 



We will report in full Rev. Joseph Cook's cele- 

 brated Boston Monday Lectures, which will begin 

 in January. Mr. Cook has just returned from a 

 two years' trip round the world, and his lectures 

 this Winter will attract greater attention than 

 ever.

MANUAL OF TEE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing. Professor of Entomology in the 



State Agricultural College of Micliigan. 



320 Paces ; 133 Fine lUtistrutions. 



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

 the Apiary, enlaiged and elegantly illustrated. 

 Tlie first edition of a.OOO 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 races of bees-, 

 tulldesccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 siirubs, etc.splendidly illustrated— and last.thougb 

 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 

 aflord to do without- It is fully "up with the times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can ln|erest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Read the folloaving opinions of the Book; 



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

 real value.— ii'.4picii(ture, Paris. 



I think Cooif's Manual is tne best of our Ameri- 

 can works.-LEWis T. Colby. 



It appears to ha^e cut the ground from under 

 future book-makers.— iiriU.^/i Dee Journal. 



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

 stant guide in my operations :ind succesatul man- 

 agement of the apiary.— J. P. WEST. 



I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. C<iok's New Manual ot the Apiary than from 

 any other book.— E. H. VVvnkoop. 



This book is just what everyone Interested In 

 bees ought to have, and which, ho one who ootains 

 it, will ever regret having purcnased.— iViic/t. Fur. 



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

 manual is a nece^isity. Piut.t'ook's Manual is an 

 exhaustive work.— Herald, Mouticello. 111. 



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

 is fu.ly up wirh the times in every particular. The 

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



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myself, and much of it is due lo ihe clear, dis- 

 interested inloruiaiion contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— WM, Van ANTWEUi*. M. U 



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. Lwe Stuck Record. 



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

 I have never yet met with a W(.)rk, either French 

 or foreign, which I like so much.— L'Abdk l>Lr 

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



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 :iiKi clearly expressed series of directions fur tneir 

 management; also a botanical tlescripti<.m ot honey 

 producing plants, and an e.xtendfd account ot the 

 enemies of bees.— i>e7uucra(, I'ulaski, N. Y, 



We have perused with great pleasure this ivirf« 

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

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To al taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it caret ully 

 and practice as advised.— .aontu/turj>(, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the mu^t coiuplote and pniciical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Euiupeor America; a 

 scientific work <.iu nnnlorn bee management that 

 every experienced bee wnn wiJl welctmie. and it la 

 essential to every amateur in hee-culture. It ie 

 hauasomely printed, neatly hiaind and is a credit 

 to the W eAl.— Wti> Urn Ayr icuUiirt:>t. 



This work is undoubtedly the moat complete 

 manual tor the instnicLiun of bee-keepers which 

 has ever been publiwbed. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding ttie cjire and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees left untouched, and in the compilatumof 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advanuigeof all 

 the previous knowlede of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to pronj'ite and make popular this most 

 interesting of alloccupii^iions.— .-Ijuencan Inventor,
