Successors to Jerome Twichell. 



^ Our rates for two or more 

 copies of the book, " Bees and Honey," 

 may be found on the Book List on 

 the" second page of this paper. Also 

 wholesale rates on all books where 

 they are purchased " to sell again." 

 The time for reading up will soon be 

 here, and in anticipation of this, we 

 now have a very large stock of books 

 on hand, and can fill orders for them 

 in any quantity, on receipt of orders. 



Create a Local Honey Market. 



Now is the time to create Honey 

 Markets in every village, town and 

 city. Wide - awake honey producers 

 should get the Leaflets " Why eat 

 Honey" (only 50 cents per 100), or else 

 the pamphlets on " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine," and scatter them 

 plentifully all over the territory they 

 can supply with honey, and the result 

 will be a demand that will readily take 

 all of their crops at remunerative 

 prices. The pricesfor "Honey as Food 

 and Medicine " are as follows : 



Single copy 5 cts,; per doz., 40 cts ; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00 ; or 1000 for 

 $15.00. On orders of 100 or more, 

 we will print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, " Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense— enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



Book Notices. 



{S^ Mrs. E.MM.i D. E. N. Southworth, 

 the author of " Sei.k-Kaiskd; or From the 

 Depths," publishoil this tliiy by T. B. Peter- 

 sou & Brothers, I'liilailelphia, considers it to 

 he the best work she has ever written. In 

 it. the hero rises from the depths of poverty, 

 misery and humiliation, and to trace his 

 ])rosrress, step by step, has been witli her a 

 lalior ot love. There has been a curious 

 blending' of realism and romance in this 

 work— the result, it may be, of the leading 

 incidents having occurred in actual life. It 

 contains 6.58 pag-es. Price 75 cents. 



t^' We have secured a copy of the Amer- 

 ican Antiquarian and Oriental Jour- 

 nal, which has come to be recognized as

 lished at Clinton, Wis.

 mation, is the title of a modest little book of

 tains more information of practical value 

 tlian many books that cost from $2.00 up- 

 wards. It contains statistical tables of prac- 

 tical value for everv department of human 

 effort. The Political, Historical, and Bio- 

 graphical information alone, is worth double 

 the price of the book. It is bound in hand- 

 some leatherette, he.xible covers, and will 

 be sent by mail for 2.5 cents; or bound in 

 silk cloth for 50 cents, by J. S. Ogilvie & Co.,
