REAL ESTATE FOR BEE-KEEPERS. 



Our advertisements of real estate have so increas- 

 ed of late that a special place has been assigned to 

 them. It will be noted we do not lis' any boom ad- 

 vertisement, nor do we intend to list any. We think 

 that any person with genuine bona-./jde land invest- 

 ments to dispose of will find this a very desirable 

 medium, and we doubt very much if there is any part 

 of Gleanings which is more faithfully read than 

 this. 



Many bee-keepers, for various reasons, would 

 make a move to a new location if they could secure 

 just what they want, and doubtless there are places 

 which would suit them if they only knew of them. 

 If you have a place to sell, suitable for bee-keeping, 

 etc., surely the proper way of disposing of it is 

 through a bee-journal which has many thousands of 

 readers who are profoundly interested. Should you 

 have a property to sell which meets the require- 

 ments, advertise it in this column and watch the re- 

 sults. 



HUNTER, TRADER, AND TRAPPER MAGAZINE. 



The above is the caption of a magazine dealing in 

 an able manner with the interests of the men who 

 make hunting and trapping a business more or less 

 during the cold months In a very practical sense 

 it is the onlv magazine devoted to the subjects in- 

 dicated by its title, for it is quite different from the 

 sportsmen's journals which advocate killing wild an- 

 imals for fun; consequently one finds in it much val- 

 uable information to outdoor people which can rot 

 be obtained anywhere else. Its writers are actual 

 hunters and trappers scattered all over North Amer- 

 ica from the arctic regions to Central America. 

 For this reasoH it has the real flavor of the wild 

 woods. These writers are not very good scholars, 



as a rule, but they know things that are worth know- 

 ing. It pays great attention to the prices to be ob- 

 tained for fur skins, roots, and herbs, so that the 

 trapper who reads it may know just what to expect 

 for his shipments. In some ways it resembles 

 Gleanings. 



To the reader of Gleanings who is interested in 

 furs, roots, and herbs, and the love of the wilderness, 

 we do not hesitate to recommend the Hunter, Trader, 

 and Trapper (Columbus, Ohio). See advertisement 

 elsewhere, giving clubbing offer. 



honey-buyers— FOR CASH. 



Many bee-keepers have expressed a desire to sell 

 their honey to a prompt cash buyer with the object 

 of eliminating all uncertainties and risks incident i o 

 selling on commission. There can be no doubt this 

 is the correct way to do business — the twentieth- 

 century style. 



With this end in view, several reliable firms have 

 their advertisements elsewhere in Gleanings, and 

 we bespeak for them the patronage of our readers. 

 Needless to say. we believe the firms mentioned will 

 do what they say they will, and therefore we give 

 them our endorsement. Do your best to avoid mis- 

 understanding' on your end of the deal, so that ev- 

 ery thing will be satisfactory to yourself and the 

 buyer. The following tirms are especially interest- 

 ed in making cash deals: 



Hildreth & Segelken, 82 Murray St., New York. 



Evans & Turner, Columbus, Ohio. 



C. H. W. Weber, Cincinnati, Ohio. 



S. T. Fish & Co., 189 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



The Fred W. Muth Co., 51 Walnut St., Cincinnati, 

 Ohio.
