FEBRUARY 



The Month of 

 Preparation.... 



This is, perhaps, the most convenient 

 month for the beekeeper to prepare for the 

 coming season. The fall work is done, and 

 the spring work still a future consideration, 

 while the weather for some weeks yet is 

 likely to be such as to prevent all but the 

 necessary outdoor work. Now is the time to 

 take an inventory of supplies on hand, and, 

 with the aid of the PEIRCE Catalo?, make 

 up an estimate of what will be required for 

 the busy bee season. Send in a list of what 

 you think you will need, and you will re- 

 ceive by early mail a statement of the cost. 

 Get your supplies now and have hives nail- 

 ed up and painted, and every thing ready 

 for the good harvest ahead.

Have You Seen a Copy of the AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



since C. P. Dadant took hold of it? He has made A NEW JOURNAL. 

 Former subscribers wouldn't recognize It as the same paper. 

 New subscribers send in letters of commendation every day. 



Some of the NEW Features are: 



A heavy cover of four pages, making 36 pages Instead of 32. 

 About six times as many picturt s and illustrations. 

 More Interesting reading-matter, and more of It. 

 Higher-grade paper throughout. 



Here is What One Subscriber says : 



Allow me to congratulate you on the Improvement In the Journal. It certainly 

 hasn't lost any thing in changing hands. I noticed at the Des Moines convention 

 many spoke encouragingly of the way the paper has been handled since "THE 

 DADANT^i" eot it YOU CAN COUNT ON ME.
