Bee Keeping for Profit. A New System of Bee Management (1891)

Bee Keeping for Profit. A New System of Bee Management (1891)

by Lizzie E. Cotton

In presenting this work I have no apology to make. After an experience with bees dating almost from childhood, and a careful study of all works published on the subject of bees, and the journals devoted to that particular branch of rural affairs, I find theory, guess-work, prejudice and selfish motives are so prevalent, as to confuse and discourage..

Fighting King George

Fighting King George

by John T. McIntyre

Uncle Dick, or as the world knew him, Capt. Richard Deering of the schooner Defence, nodded in a friendly fashion to Cole, who grinned back, from his seat in the bow of the skiff. The captain of the Defence was a sturdy-looking man of about fifty, with his long, gray hair gathered in a cue, sailor-fashion; his weather-tanned face was smoothly shave..

Hand-book of Sanitary Information for Householders

Hand-book of Sanitary Information for Householders

by Roger Sherman Tracy

The preparation of this hand-book was suggested by persistent questioning about the matters it contains. Its purpose is to furnish householders with information which has been so scattered, or buried so deep in technical discussions, that it has not been easy for them to find it for themselves.

Shepherds of the Wild

Shepherds of the Wild

by Edison Marshall

Spread Horn knew them all. They were his neighbors. Also he knew the people that lived in the cataract at the bottom of the gorge. Sometimes, when he paused to drink, the salmon rushed past him in their mysterious journeyings,—their fourth-year migration to the waters in which they were born. They come to spawn in the waters where they were themsel..

The stories in this book are of heroes who lived hundreds of years ago. They caught sight of a beautiful dream and lived and died to make it come true. Their eagerness swept along with them not only men who had never dreamed the dream and who did not know for what end they fought, but bad men also who only wished to get what they could for themselv..

The Demon Trapper of Umbagog

The Demon Trapper of Umbagog

by Daniel P. Thompson

Mark Elwood, much chagrined and discomposed at the discovery of such an untoward first reception of his brother, now ushered him into the brilliantly-lighted hall, where the two stood in such singular contrast that no stranger would have ever taken them for brothers,—Mark being, as we have before described him, a good-sized, and, in the main, a goo..

The Memoirs of a Swine in the Land of Kultur

The Memoirs of a Swine in the Land of Kultur

by Benjamin Muse

A prisoner of war camp had many characteristics in common with other communities of human beings. It had its social classes, its great and its humble citizens, its rich and its poor. In arriving in camp I was fortunate enough to meet a friend, a Frenchman, with three years service in captivity and an ample stock of provisions. He “adopted” me. The ..

A Treatise on Regional Iodine Therapy for the Veterinary Clinician

by Mart R. Steffen

In presenting to the veterinary profession this treatise on Regional Iodine Therapy, I do so with the object of bringing into the light certain clinical facts that have to do with the topical application of iodine in veterinary patients, and to discuss, from the standpoint of the clinician, those particular pathological conditions to which these fa..
