 including Gleanings, which we are very glad to extend to our old subscribers. In those offers a 

 renewal for oneself may be sent; and by making payment of additional postage required, a book on 

 bee-keeping, subscription to some other paper, or something in the line of bee-keepers' supplies, may 

 be secured for an amount only slightly in excess of the regular subscription price of Gleanings
