LAST FALL Mr. Smith asked us our advice on 

 when best to sell his crop of 15,000 lbs. of 

 clover extracted honey. We answered him by 

 advising that he hold until May, unless he got 

 a good round price for it before. He could 

 at that time have taken something like 12c 

 per pound for it. He held it. At our Michi- 

 gan State Convention last December, he again 

 asked what we thought about the future price 

 of honey. He could then get 17c per pound 

 for it. We advised him to hold. He sold 'he 

 entire crop the other day on board the cars 

 for 18^c per pound. Mr. Smith's case is 

 only one in hundreds of cases where pro- 

 ducers have done well by following the ad- 

 vice of the Domestic Beekeeper. We want 

 every beekeeper who has honey to sell to send 

 in his dollar for the Domestic Beekeeper dur- 

 ing 191S. We have the back numbers, so can 

 begin your subscription with the January 

 number, thus making your volume complete. 

 Do it today, and at the end of the year get 

 your dollar back if you think you have not re- 

 ceived its worth.

Did You Get Caught Last Summer? 



Today is not one bit too early to order your Bee Supplies. If you 

 should wait until July 1, we would try just as hard to handle your order 

 promptly, but you know what embargoes and freight congestions mean, 

 especially if you were one of thousands whose goods were tied up in 

 transit last year until the honey season was over. 



IF WE ALL MAKE ONE GOOD, LONG, STRONG PULL TOGETHER, 

 we won't feel like slackers, and after the war is over we won't feel like 

 sneaking out of sight when war times are mentioned. 



Our part is to make supplies as good as we can and as fast as we can — 

 your part is to give your bees the best care you know how to give them, 

 and to make them produce all the honey possible. 



To do this YOU MUST HAVE PLENTY OF HIVES, SUPERS, 

 FRAMES, FOUNDATION, EXTRACTORS, SMOKERS, PLENTY OF 

 EVERYTHING used in your work, and YOU MUST HAVE THEM IN 

 TIME TO USE THEM. 



THE GOVERNMENT IS SHIPPING HONEY TO THE BOYS IN 

 FRANCE— IT HELPS KEEP THEM FIT. We're trying to do our part. 

 Let's pull together and help the boys take another trench. Don't wait 

 another day about sending us your order.
