40 Years Among the Bees, 



BY DR. C. C. MILLER. 



Free as at, Premium tor Sending Xtvo 



We\r Subiiicribers. 



The book contains 328 pages, is bound in handsome cloth, with gold 

 letters and design ; it is printed on best book-paper, and illustrated with 

 over 100 beautiful original half-tone pictures, taken by Dr. Miller himself. 

 It is unique in this regard. 



The first few pages of the new book are devoted to an interesting 

 biographical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he happened to get into 

 bee-keeping. Seventeen years ago he wrote a small book, called "A Year 

 Among the Bees," but that little v-ork has been out of print for a number 

 of years. While some of the matter used in the former book is found in 

 the new one, it all reads like a good new story of successful bee-keep- 

 ing by one of the masters, and shows in minutest detail just how Dr. Mil- 

 ler does things with bees. 



HOW TO GET A COPY OF DR. MILLER'S 



"FORTY YEARS AMORG THE BEES. " 



The price of this new book is $1.00, post-paid ; or, if taken with the 

 WEEKLY American Bee Journal for one year, both will be sent for $1.75. 



Or, any present regular subscriber to the American Bee Journal 

 whose subscription is paid in advance, can have a copy of Dr. Miller's new 

 book free as a premium for sending us Two New Subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year with $2.00. This is a magnificent ofi'er, and should 

 be taken advantage of at once. For many of our readers it is not only an 

 easy way to earn a copy of the book, but at the same time they will be 

 helping to extend the subscription list of the old American Bee Journal, 

 and thus aiding also in spreading the best kind of apicultural information 

 among those who would be successful bee-keepers.

has to be sold at a sacrifice, because at 

 the time of the sale it is leaking, pos- 

 sibly candied, and the actual net re- 

 turn is only a half or a fourth what it 

 would have brought if the honey had 

 been scraped and graded. 



Sometimes we get some beautiful 

 fancy honey put up in second-hand 

 cases, or cases that are soiled and 

 dirty, making the whole lot look poor. 

 If they were new cases, but simply 

 soiled, a small piece of sandpaper on a 

 block of wood will make them look 

 almost new in two minutes' time ; but 

 if the cases are second-hand, and 

 roughly sawn — well, there is nothing 

 to do but to recase. Commission men 

 say, and our own experience goes to 

 corroborate it, that a good case well 

 made, carefully nailed, and clean, viill 

 make the honey bring enough more to 

 pay for three or four good cases, where, 

 if it is a poor one, it knocks the price 

 down on the whole consignment, no 

 matter how well it may be scraped and 

 graded. In saying this, I may be ac- L 

 cused of " grinding our own ax ", be- 

 cause, forsooth, we make and sell ship-
