Just a word of caution to hc'sinners in Bee Culture. Do not 

 try to handle bees until you get a g(.)od sraoJler, a bee veil, a hive 

 tool and a pair of cotton oiled gauntlet gloves. These will make 

 it safe for you on the start. You can procure these articles from 

 your supply tlealers at small cost. 



Always start right in bee keeping, using the best Italian 

 Bees, the best dovetailed hives and Hoffman frames. It is 

 awful to start wrong in anything, especially for the young 

 just starting in hfe. 



Bees are without doubt the greatest material gift to 

 man from the Creator. And are destined to give man his 

 sweet supply as soon as man becomes intelligent enough 

 to understand and use them, he is just about there now. 



Care for your bees gently and they will repay you. Be 

 courte&us to everybody, and especially to your own family ; 

 it always pays to be courteous, nothing will bring us larger 

 dividends and cost less. 



Don't put your bees down cellar or leave them out in 

 a snow drift exposed to all the storms that blow. Be kind 

 to everybody. "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless 

 millions mourn."
