It is Extravagrant Economy not 



to have hives, sections, comb foundation, 

 etc., on hand when needed. To prevent 

 disappointment, order early what you will 

 need in that line. Then the hives can be 

 nailed and painted in odd times, and the 

 sections put together, so as to be ready at a 

 minute's notice. It is a sad disappointment 

 to need these things and then not have 

 them on hand. They should be ordered 

 very soon. We are promised an early 

 spring, and a good honey crop. 



Give a Copy of " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " to every one who buys a package 

 of honey. It will sell lots of it.
