 cage, as shown on page 33 of this issue, we would state 

 that we are prepared to furnish it in a neat shipping- 

 case, with lid and hasps all complete, for $12 00. 



A line received too late for insertion in their full- 

 page advertisement (see page 45) from Udo and Max 

 Toepperwein requests our Texas subscribers to watch 

 their advertisement in Jan. 15 Gleanings for the an- 

 nouncement of an introducing comb foundation sale. 



NEW HONEY-JAR. • 



We have found a new honey-jar which is not only 

 neat in appearance, and seals tight, tut is lower in 

 price than any of the jars listed in catalog. We shall 

 have it in H-lb. and 1-lb. size. The mold for the 1-lb. 

 size is not yet ready, and we shall not have the jars in 

 stock for some weeks. We have a few of the %-lb. 

 size. We can mail a sample for 15 cts. to pay packing 

 and postage.

GERMAN EDITION OF THE A B C OF BEE CULTURE. 



We find when we get all our figures together that 

 the production of the A B C in German is a bigger ex- 

 pense than we anticipated, and that $2.00 each for the 

 paper-bound edition does not cover first cost to us, 

 even if we could sell every copy for cash at the full 

 retail price. Compared with other works of like size 

 and nature of contents the price ought to be $5.00 per 

 volume ;• but we know very well that very few would 

 buy at that price. To make the price reaso able, and 

 at the samd time bring us somewhere near first cost, 

 we will ask $2.50 postpaid for the cloth- bou 'id edition 

 and $2.00 for the paper-bound. When shipped with 



other goods by freight or express. 20 cents may be 

 deducted, if any of our readers know of German 

 friends who do not read English readily, and would 

 like to read the A B C in their native tongue secure 

 their order for the book at the above prices, and for 

 50 cts. additional we will send Gleanings one year to 

 your address or any other to which you may prefer to 

 have it sent. 



EARLY-ORDER CASH DISCOUNT. 



We have been obliged to cut down the early-order 

 cash discount below that offered in former years; but 

 it is still sufficiently liberal to pay transportation 

 charges quite a distance, or to pay liberal interest on 

 the money invested in supplies early, and should at- 

 tract those forehanded people who know pretty well 

 what they want for the coming season. 



The following is the schedule of discounts for early 

 cash orders for bee-keepers' supplies, subject to the 

 conditions below: 

 For cash sent in January, deduct 3% per cent. 

 February, " 3 

 March. " 2i^ " 



April, " 2 



The discount is only for cash sent before the expira- 

 tion of the months named, and is intended to apply to 

 hives, sections, frames, foundation, extractors, smok- 

 ers, shipping-cases, cartons, and other miscellaneous 

 bee-keepers' supplies. It will not apply on the follow- 

 ing articles exclusively; but where these form no more 

 than about one-tenth of the whole order the early-or- 

 der discount may be taken from the entire bill: Tin- 

 ned wire, paint, Bingham smokers. Porter bee-es- 

 capes, glass and tin honey-packages, scales, bees and 

 queens, bee-books and papers, labels, and other print- 

 ed matter, bushel boxes, seeds, and other specialties 

 not listed in our gener?J catalog. 



Convention Notices. 



The Wisconsin State Bee-keepers' convention will 

 be held at the Capitol, Madison. Wis., Feb. 5 and 6. 

 President N. E France promises several good papers 

 and an abundance of questions. The special features 

 of the Wisconsin convention have always been the 

 friendly and social intercourse among its members, 

 and the profitable and instructive questions and an- 

 swers of special interest to bee-keepers. Everybody 

 is cordially invited to be with us.
