Bee-keeping for the Many
by J. H. PayneWith regard to the materials of which hives are made, I believe it to be a matter of indifference whether straw or wood be used, but the facility and economy in the construction of straw hives must always be a recommendation, especially to the cottager. Having, therefore, decided upon the materials for cottagers' hives, their form must now be consi..
A Handbook of Cookery for a Small House
by Jessie ConradOf all the books produced since the most remote ages by human talents and industry those only that treat of cooking are, from a moral point of view, above suspicion.

The Book of Alfalfa: History, Cultivation and Merits
by F. D. CoburnThis volume, however strong its statements in favor of alfalfa may appear to those unacquainted with that plant’s productivity and beneficence, is by no means presented as an argument that everyone should raise alfalfa. It is intended rather as a conservative setting forth of what others have found alfalfa to be and do under wide variations of soil..
The Bee Keeper's Guide (Fourth Edition)

PayneHaving written the "Cottager's Guide for the Management of his Bees, upon the Depriving System," which has been printed under the direction of the Suffolk and Norfolk Apiarian Society, for gratuitous distribution amongst the Cottagers, I am induced, at the particular request of several Apiarian friends, to enlarge the above little work, and to give..
Tractor Principles
