the handsome sections by saying that HeW 
Mr., or Attorney, or Dr. So-and-so raised 
that. People will ask for it, preferring it to 
what is shipped in. Then, too, the grocer 
loses nothing by breakage, nor does he have 
any freight to pay. 
Ninety-six sections of honey at 18 cts $17.28 
First year's outlay 13.95 
Year's profit in money 3.33 
Outfit on hand, valued at 20.00 
Total net profit $23.33 
The second year will have 192 lbs., worth 
$34.50, and will have only two more hives 
and supers to buy, perhaps two pounds of 
foundation and 200 new sections. You will 
have four colonies from which to get honey, 
your first-class colonies and your several ap- 
pliances to dispose of in case you choose to 
sell. For these alone you would get back 
more than you ever spent. You will never 
sell. See how fast the money mounts for 
the third, fourth, or fifth years. You have 
learned much, had fine exercise, more fun 
than you had any idea of, saved in groceries 
what you can put into books, and your ap- 
proach to the Creator is more adoring and 
reverential than ever before.
