Mr. E. Kretchmer is known not only a* a practical bee-keeper, but as a 
first-class writer on the subject; and every owner of a swarm of bees 
should possess one of his books.— [Central Journal. 
We are informed that Mr. E. Krctchiner, the able writer on the culture 
of the honey-bee, will soon publish a standard work on the management 
of bees. Our readers can expect a work containing practical information 
of unequaled value to every bee keeper. — [Fliegender Bote.

The Champion bee-hive, the cheapest and most perfect hive before the 
public. 
The “ Bee-Keeper’s Guide” contains much practical information, and 
should be read by every fami'y.— [Page County Herald.

Giles B. Avery, Albany, N. Y., says of the Bee Keeper's Guide: “As 
far as the work treats of the science and philosophy of Apiarian manage- 
ment, we consider it ‘sands of gold' and ‘ multum in parvo.' A copy 
should be possessed by every Apiarian in our land. It embodies in small 
space, the gist of information liberally set forth by Wildman. the German 
Apiarians, Langstroth, Quinby, Harbison, Kidder, King, and others.” 
Dr. Jewell Davis, of Charleston. 111., says of the book : “I have care- 
fully examined it, and find it very comprehensive and to the point ; em- 
bracing the full science of bee culture in little space ; the most complete 
work for the general bee-keeper.”

The Champion, a simple hive. * * Now to be valuable, a hive 
must be simple, easily opened, and have its surplus honey in new and 
marketable comb. — Mrs. Tupper, on hives, in “ Burlington llawk-Bye.”

W. BEDWELT, OF ST. LOUIS, MO., IN A LETTER TO A. A1KEN9. 
As we make bee-keeping our business, we have tried every hive, sub- 
mitting the Champion hive especially to the severest test, and now can 
say that it is the most perfect hive for keeping bees as a business ; in 
it we obtain early box honey, perfectly free from bee bread. Be not de- 
ceived by hives resembling it in appearance, but purchase the genuine 
“ Champion,” and the “Bee-keeper's cuide-Book;” read it, follow its 
directions, and sucoess in bee-keeping will be certain. 
0. S. MILLER, OF BURLINGTON, IOWA, TO J. WHITEMAN. 
Knowing you to be a bee-keeper, I call your attention to a bee-hive 
which seems to overcome all difficulties connected with former hives- it is 
the Champion hive. Although this hive has not so large a circulation as 
others of prior invention, it has, considering its recent introduction, ob- 
tained a greater popularity than any former li ve. No one need fear being 
humbugged by purchasing this hive, as every hive is warranted to give 
satisfaction. If any party will not warrant their goods, it shows that they 
themselves have no confidence in their merits.
