JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN. 

 Wasn't that Sunday-school lesson of yesterday a most 

 interesting one? A divided home, a partial father, a proud 

 boy, ana envious brothers. No wonder all this gave birth to 

 bitter rancor and hatred, and stayed not until murderous in- 

 tent against a brother stole into those jealous hearts. Aren't 

 we glad that we have so many homes where discord is not 

 known? Isn't It good that Uncle Sam set his great, splendid 

 foot on polygamy in our fair territories? Don't we all rejoice 

 that the Christ spirit is so rife among us that partial fathers 

 and mothers are rarely found? All the children in the most 

 of our homes receive the best that is to be given by fond, lov- 

 ing parents. Can we give too much thought, study, or even 

 money, if it tends to cement the love of brothers and sisters 



for each other? No doubt, .Jacob's misdeeds and trials devel- 

 oped a character that has enriched the world. We believe 

 that even .loseph, as true and chaste as be was, was ennobled 

 by his great trials That trials and afflictions may have a 

 most blessed ministry in the building up of a proud character, 

 who can doubt? 



nOCKlNQ. BIRDS. 

 The mocking-bird is one of our delights. Closely related 

 to thrush and oat-bird of the East, it out-sings either. Ours Is 

 the very same that charms the bird-lovers of the Carolinas. 

 It sends out its sweetest carols morning, noon and night, and 

 even at midnight it wakes to sing. Its heart is full as it 

 watches its little fledglings. Five growing, promising little 

 birdlings 1 No wonder the wondrous song makes musical the 

 very sunshine, and gladdens all our hearts. I rejoice that my 

 evergreens, down by the barn, are so vigorous. Soon they 

 will harbor more of these lovely singers. A happy pair, in 

 these October days, give us lovely music the entire day 

 through.

Red Clover Queens ml 902 Free 



Loug-Tougue Variety — Warranted Purely Mated. 



We have already arranged with the queen-breeder who furnished Long-Tongue Red Clover Queens 

 for us during the past season, to fill our orders next season. Although fully 95 percent of the untested 

 queens he sent out were purely mated, next season all that he mails for us will be warranted purely mated. 



We want every one of our present subscribers to have one or more of these money-maker Queens. We 

 have received most excellent reports from the queens we supplied during the past season. And next year 

 our queen-breeder says he expects to be able to send out even better Queens, if that is possible. He is one 

 of the very oldest and' best queen-breeders. His bees average quite a good deal the longest tongues of any 

 vet measured. The Breeder he will use is direct from Italy, having imported her himself. Her worker-bees 

 are large, of beautiful color, very gentle, scarcely requiring veil or smoke. 1 z:Z2 ' J_j 



firders for these fine, " long-reach " Warranted Queens will be filled in rotation — " first come, first 

 served "—beginning as early in June as possible. It is expected that orders can be filled quite promptly 

 (even better than the past season), as a much larger number of queen-rearing nuclei will be run. (But never 

 remove the old queen from the colony until you have received the new one, no matter from whom you order 

 a queen). 



All Queens will be guaranteed to arrive in good condition, and will be clipped, unless otherwise 

 ordered. 



A Warranted (|iieeii for sending us Only 2 New Yearly Subscribers 



In order that every one of our subscribers who wants one of these Warranted Queens next season can 

 easily earn it, we will book your order for one queen for sending us the names and addresses of two new 

 subscribers to the American Bee Journal and S2()0. Furthek.moke, we will begin to send the Bee Journal 

 to the new subscribers just as soon as they are received here ( with the S2.00), and continue to send it until 

 tlie end of next year, igo2). So, forward the new subscriptions soon — the sooner sent in the more weekly 

 copies they will receive. 



This indeed is an opportunity to get a superior Qaeen, and'at the same time help'swell the list of 

 readers of the old American Bee Journal. 



We are now ready to book the Queen orders, and also to enroll the new subscriptions. Remember, the 

 sooner you get in your order the earlier you will get your Queen next season, and the more copies of the Bee 

 Journal will the new subscribers receive that you send in. We hope that every one of our present readers 

 will decide to have at least one of these Queens. Address,
