ADVERTISERS' DEPARTMENT. 



IDVERTISING NOTICES AND SUNDRY 

 OTHER MATTERS. 



A. B. J. at hand Oct. 5th, B. K. M., Oct. 12th, 

 and World not at all. 



Catnip is coming into favor. See adver- 

 tisements of seed. 



Mr. A. H. Peake, Seville, Medina, Co. O., of- 

 fers maple punk put up in packages at 12c each 

 by mail post paid. 



Nesbit can raise bees cheaper than any 

 body else, but we fear his stock won't hold 

 out long at $8.00 each. 



The National Agriculturist and Bee Journal 

 has dropped the latter part of its title and is 

 quite a pretty family paper for the price. See 

 clubbing list. 



We are pleased to learn that our old friend 

 Alley, who has done so much toward dissemi- 

 nating the Italians has now turned his atten- 

 tion to hive making. See advertisement. 



Philip's Southern Farmer is a live Monthly, 

 devoted to Southern Agriculture and kindred 

 topics. Our friends Murray and Adair are 

 special contributors to its Apicultural depart- 

 ment. Terms $2.00. Memphis, Tenn. 



Those interested in planting any kind of 

 Forest Trees should send for Mr. Battle's neat 

 pamphlet and price list. He has long been be- 

 fore our people, and we believe is perfectly 

 reliable. See advertisement. 



C. O. Perrine has, so far as we know, made 

 a satisfactory settlement of all old debts. Con- 

 siderable credit is certainly due him for his 

 early efforts in creating a ready market for 

 honey in large quantities. 



"Dollar Queen" orders are all filled, or the 

 money returned, with one exception, the wri- 

 ter of this requesting money to be kept over 

 until next season, so that he would come first. 

 If any thing has been overlooked on our part 

 don't be backward in speaking out (on a "pos- 

 tal.") 



Candidates for the Humbug and Swindle 

 Dep't should bear in mind when writing us, 

 that we usually have a number of their own 

 letters to their customers in our possession. 

 If they would do so, it would often prevent the 

 ridiculous inconsistencies to be seen when 

 their letters are compared. 



Will those dealing in Apiarian Supplies 

 please send in their catalogues and price lists. 

 We shall in our next, endeavor to give a list 

 of all reliable persons who deal in supplies for 

 the Apiary, of any description whatever. 

 Those of our advertising patrons will receive 

 a more extended notice. 



Mr. J. L. Green of our own County, who 

 advertises trees in this No., we take pleasure 

 in recommending to our friends. His many 

 year's experience with trees enables him to 

 send these safely even to the extreme Southern 

 states or California. Basswood trees, of which 

 he makes a specialty, he informs us are prefer- 

 ably planted in the fall in sandy soils, but for 

 clay, he would recommend spring planting. 



All seem to agree that Italians should be 

 three banded, but we fear some do not know 

 just how the three bands should lie, and have 

 consequently complained of bees that were 

 well marked. The first band is located so 



close to where the body joins the part to which 

 the wings are attached that it is sometimes 

 overlooked, and in fact it is sometimes scarcely 

 visible unless the bee is full of honey. Th - 

 second band is generally plain and well defined 

 even in poor hybrids ; the third wholly or 

 partially disappears where a pure Queen mates 

 with a black drone. 



Several correspondents have sent us their 

 Photo's, and the pleasure of seeing some one 

 with whom we have long held pleasant con- 

 verse is well worth all the expense. Now we 

 have a great many friends, (perhaps more, we 

 don't know) and we would like their picture* 

 very much. By the way we rather think we 

 would like the pictures also of some who are 

 not so friendly. Pictures never quarrel, and* 

 here comes in the point. A hundred Photo's 

 taken separately would cost about $25.00 which 

 amount Ave are sorry to say is more than we 

 would like to stand, but if they were nicely 

 grouped the whole might be photographed for 

 $1.00 at farthest. Now if you'll send us your 

 pictures we'll get up a Bee-Keeper's Medley.
