BOOKS for BEE-KEEPERS and OTHERS. 



[Any of these books will be forwarded by mail, post- 

 paid, on receipt of price.] 



In buvins books, as every thins: else, we are liable to 

 (lisapi)o'intment if we make a purchase without seeina; the 

 article. Admittina; that the bookseller could read all the 

 books he offers, as he has them for sale it were hardly to 

 be expected he would be the one to mention all the faults, 

 as well as good things about a hook. I very much desire 

 that those who favor me with their patronage, shall not 

 be disappointed, and tlierefore, [ am going to ti-y to pre- 

 vent it by mentionuig all the faults so far as I can, that 

 the i)urchaser may know what he is getting. In the fol- 

 lowing list, books" that I approve I have marked with a , 

 those 1 especially approve * * ; those that are not up to 

 times t ; books that contain but little matter for the pries 

 large type and much sjiico between the linos t ; foreign S. 

 These hand lx)olvs that tell us how to do things, not 

 only educate us, but they are often the very best invest- 

 ment that one ever mak'is, and the small amount they 

 cost, comes back many times every year if they are faith- 

 fullv read. When we get interested, is just the time to 

 read up a subject. We" hear of receipts for doing certain 

 things, being sold tor many times the cost of these books 

 that contain the same thing and ever so much more, and 

 often with illustrations fully explaining the work. I nev- 

 er spent happier hours than hi reading my poultry books 

 when 1 was a boy ; and while busy with my coops and 

 yards I not only avoided idleness and bad company but I 

 educated mv hands in the use of tools, as well as my 

 mind in the science of profit and loss. Parents if your 

 •children have anv taste for these useful pretty handbooks, 

 is it not a duty of yours to encourage it by judicious pur- 

 chases ?
