AMERICAN AND OTHER OPINION. 
American Bee Journal.—\t covers the whole field of Apiculture, 
and is written in a terse and interesting manner.” 
Gleanings in Bee Culture (1888 edition).—" The work is beautifully 
printed on a fine quality of paper. In plan it is excellent; each subject 
and its sub-head being distinctly separated by strong black head-lines, 
So that a novice can easily find such information as may be desired.” 
Editor of Gleanings (1904 edition).—" This is a work of no ordinary 
merit, and reads like a novel. One of the best bee books.” 
; Mr. Frank Benton, 
of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, writes: 
“The new book came to hand this morning. It is now midnight, and 
I have spent the whole day with. it. You have indeed done well what 
few accomplish at all—made a book which is full of interest to every 
enthusiastic bee-master ; yet for the beginner a simple, pointed guide to 
success. . . . Since Langstroth’s book, nothing, except Cheshire’s 
magnificent work, compares in interest or value to this.” 
“Good Stuff, Indeed !” 
“T have just finished reviewing a copy of the 1904 edition of ‘Modern 
Bee-Farm.” Good stuff, indeed! I am truly glad to see that you are 
not bound down by the old dogmas of bee-keeping. We have nothing 
which shows the results of careful experiments as yours does.”

An American Specialist, 
of Knox, Starke Co., Indiana, U.S.A , says :— 
“A few months ago I bought your book. 1 have read the same three 
times from cover to cover, and the chapter about Foul Brood about ten 
times. It is the best book, and I have a good number of books about 
bees, as I am a specialist.” F. W. LUEBECK. 
“The Bee-Wizard,” ; 
of Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A., writing May 8th, 1911, says: 
“Amongst the most prized and most often reviewed volumes in my 
library is your ‘Modern Bee-Farm,’ and I have long thought of sending 
you this word of personal commendation and thanks.”

'A New Zealand Bee-Keeper, 
Writing from Timaru, says: “I have read ‘A Modern Bee-Farm’ 
through with much pleasure and profit. I think, without exaggeration 
it is the best of all my bee-books, and I have a good many.”

“A Modern Bee-Farm” Well in Front. 
“T find your ‘Modern Bee-Farm’ full of useful information. I see

front here as something new.” . DAVID F. DOW,
