Dr. Miller's New Book 



SENT BY RETIRN MAIL. 



The book contains 328 pag-es, 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 work has been out of print for a number 

 of yea^s. 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 AMONG 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 offer, 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.
