An Unbiased Statement. 
To show that the author is not exaggerat- 
ing the profits of bee-keeping when the con- 
ditions are favorable, we insert the following 
unsolicited letter from a man of unquestion- 
ed integrity. We could secure many more 
like this if we chose to ask for them. — Pub- 
lisher. 
St. Peter's Lutheran Church, 
New York, March 11, 1908.

Dear Sirs: — Enclosed please find my 
check for renewal of my subscription to 
Gleanings for five years. I greatly appre- 
ciate Gleanings, not only for the good and 
plain reading matter, but also because it fur- 
nishes many kinks which otherwise one 
would be unable to find out. These kinks 
have enabled me in the last three years to 
sell from ten colonies on the average over 
$100.00 per year. I donate the honey to my 
church for charitable purposes, and the 
members are eager to buy, because they 
know my honey is absolutely pure. • 
Yours very truly, 
D. A. B. Moldenke. 
The A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio. 
Gentlemen: — Referring to the bees ordered 
for Judge Woods, of Marion, S. C, I beg to 
say that they arrived several days since by 
express, and at Judge Woods' request I went 
over to Marion to assist in hiving them.
