 there is for capable help, etc. Send for

 yourself of following Special, Offer: 

 ^ The price of the course is $25.00, includ- 

 ing a full colony of bees. As the readers 

 of the A»ierican Bee Journal have bees it 

 will not be necessary to supply them; and 

 as we want about a dozen students AT ONCE 

 who have some knowledge of bees, to tin- 

 Tsh the course by the middle of wmter, so 

 we can recommend them for positions in 

 1905, we will enroll a li^^ited number at 

 once for the full course lor »10.00. This 

 covers the entire series of lessons, personal 

 answers to all inquiries, text-books, etc. 

 Do lot wait. The time is short to complete 

 the work, and a limited number only taken 

 at this figure.

SIMPLEX JARS. 



We have found a new glass 

 jar for one pound of honey, 

 which we think surpasses any 

 other style we ever offered. . 

 It has a glass top which 

 screws on to the glass jar 

 with a rubber gasket be- 

 tween. The joint is on a 

 taper so that, the further you 

 screw the cover on, the tight- 

 er it makes the joint. It can 

 be sealed absolutely air-tight; 

 has no metal to rust or cor- 

 ''*i-._.o.j!i!55^ rode. It is about U i^ich 

 hi.dier than the No. 25, which improves its 

 ap'pearance. We sell them at the same 

 price as the No. 25, and have a car oad in 

 stock ready to fill orders. We still have 

 some No. 25 in stock for those who may 

 prefer to continue with it. We believe, 

 however, the, Simplex jar will take the 



place of the No.
