THE ADVANTAGE 
of the Steel Center Self-Sharpening Shoe is that the calks 
are always sharp. A thin plate of steel is rolled inside 
of the soft iron bar trom which the shoe is made. The soft 
iron in the calk partially wears away, leaving the sharp 
steel center, as shown in the cut. Address

QUINBY’S 
New Bee-Keeping 
The Mysteries of Bee-Keeping Explained. 
Combining the Results of Fifty Years y 
Experience, with the Latest Discoveries 
and Inventions, and Presenting the 
most Approved Methods, Forming 
A COMPLETE GUIDE TO 
SUCCESSFUL BEE-CULTURE. 
By L. C. ROOT, 
Practical Apiarian. 
With 100 Illustrations, and a Portrait of M. Quinby. 
OPINIONS OF EMINENT APIARISTS 
AND THE PRESS. 
Professor A. J. Cook, of the Michigan Agricultural Col¬ 
lege and Author of the “ Manual of the Apiary," writes to 
Mr. Root: I have read it (Quinby’s New Bee-Keeping) with 
much genuine pleasure. Surely the mantle of common 
sense, practical, plain and simple Btyleof expression did not 
leave your family with Mr. Quinby. I rejoice in the book, 
and only have praise for it. 
Captain J. E. Hetherington, of Cherry Valley, New 
York, writes: I do not hesitate to pronounce it the best 
practical work on the subject published, and shall do all I 
can to promote the sale of it. 
P. H. Eiavood, of Starkville, New York, writes: I had ex¬ 
pected a good book, but it far surpasses my expectations. 
G M. Doolittle, of Borodino, New York, writes: I con¬ 
sider it the most practical work on bees extant. It certain¬ 
ly should find a place in the home of every bee-keeper in 
the land. 
Students of entomology, as well as practical bee-keepers, 
will find a rich store of information in its pages, which form 
a convenient working manual not only of most recent date, 
hut of high authority.— New York Tribune. 
It seems to cover pretty much all the ground in apicul¬ 
ture.— Prairie Farmer, Chicago. 
Over 100 illustrations explain the methods of growing 
bees, removing honey, destroying the enemies of bees, etc., 
in connection with a copious text.— New York Times. 
It is without any qualification the most complete and best 
text-book upon bee-culture.— Zions Herald, Boston, Mass. 
It gives a lucid and popular explanation of bee-keeping, 
and is well worthy of a perusal by all who are interested in 
the subject.— Rural New Yorker. 
The work is as nearly complete as the present state of the 
knowledge of the subject will permit. The value of the 
book is greatly enhanced by excellent illustrations, em¬ 
bracing everything pertaining to the subject where a pic¬ 
ture can give aid to a clear understanding of the text.— 
Husbandman, Elmira, N. Y. 
The volume seems to be a complete manual for honey- 
raisers. It would be of interest to the naturalist as well as 
to the bee-keeper.— Cincinnati Commercial. 
It forms a valuable manual for those engaged in bee¬ 
keeping.— Boston Evening Traveller.
