 railroads 'entering Chicaso. Tlie ques- 

 tion-box will, as usual, occupy "the cen- 

 ter of the stage." The Chicago-North- 

 westerti convention has the reputation 

 of being the most interesting meeting of 

 bee-keepers in America. .-Vny question 

 of interest can be brought out and dis- 

 cussed thoroughly by some of the best 

 bee-keepers in all the world. Bring 

 your questions with you, and everybody 

 come. Ladies are especially invited.

 following will be present ; Dr. C. C, 

 Miller, C. P. Dadant, N. E. France, Geo. 

 E. Hilton, W. Z. Hutchinson, Franklin 

 Wilcox, Jas. A. Stone, J. Q. Smith, Chas. 

 Becker, E. D. Townscnd, and Ernest R. 

 Root. Come and help to make this the 

 best meeting the Chicago-Northwestern 

 Association has ever held.

Pennsylvania State Convention 



This convention will be held in the 

 Court. House at York, Pa., Nov. 12 and 

 13. with lieadquarters at Marshall Hotel. 

 Rate. $1 per day. 



On Thursday, at I :30 p. m., there 

 will be an address by President Prof. 

 H. C. Klinger; an address by Dr. E. F. 

 Phillips; and then a general discus- 

 sion of apiculture in the United States. 



On Thursday evening there will be 

 an address by Geo. Rea ; on Friday af- 

 ternoon an address by Prof. H. A. Sur- 

 face, on "Hay and Honey Plants;" Fri- 

 day evening an address by Dr. E. F.

It is contemplated that with two more 

 pre-arranged communications the pro- 

 gram will be ample, and due attention 

 may be given to the consideration of 

 the legislative control of bee-diseases, 

 and timely topics. 



It is urged that our present member- 

 ship make special effort to bring other 

 bee-keepers into our ranks. We need 

 many new as well as our old members 

 to work together during the coming 

 winter to secure the enactment of the 

 bill that was so uniformly approved at 

 the last session of the Legislature.

Illinois State Convention 



The Illinois State Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation will meet Nov. 19th and 20th, 

 at the State house in Springfield. We 

 may have no program except what will 

 be made up by the best of our bee-keep- 

 ers — which is always better than a set 

 program, if those present are alive to 

 their opportunity. 



The Illinois State Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation has made arrangements with 

 the State Board of Agriculture to have 



bees bandied in cages at the State Fair. 

 In one cage, for the purpose, a foul- 

 broody hive will be shown up. Louis 

 Werner, of Edwardsville, will do the 

 manipulating. Jas. A. Stone, Sec.

Books for Bee-Keepers 



Every bee-keeper should have a bee- 

 book besides a bee-paper. On another 

 page will be found all the best books 

 offered — either at a price, postpaid, or as 

 a premium. If you can not earn them 

 as premiums for getting new subscrip- 

 tions, it will pay you well to purchase 

 one or more of them. You will find 

 them of great value. There are so many 

 things in the books that are needful to 

 know, and that of course could not be 

 told over and over again in the bee- 

 papers. If a bee-keeper can afford only 

 one, it would better be the book rath- 

 er than the paper. But now that the 

 American Bee Journal is only 75 cents 

 a year, of course, no bee-keeper, how- 

 ever limited his apiary may be, can af- 

 ford to be without its mc^.tbly visits. 



Laivgstroth 

 Honey- Bee 



on 

 the 



Revised by Dadant— L&test Edition 



This is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and ought to be in the 

 library of every bee-keeper. It is bound 

 substantially in cloth and contains nearly 

 GOO pages, being revised by that large, 

 practical bee-keeper, so well-known to 

 all the readers of the American Bee 

 Journal— Mr. C. P. Dadant. Each sub- 

 ject is clearly and thoroughly explained, 



so that by following the instructions of 

 this book one cannot fail to be wonder 

 fully helped on the way to success with 

 bees. 



The book we mail for $1.20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year — both for $1.70 or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us 

 FIVE NEW subscribers to the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year, with $3.75. 



This is a splendid chance to get a 

 grand bee-book for a very little money 

 or work. Address,
