keepers that I had mailed them to. 

 Every bee-keeper that is in the business, 

 or any person that ever intends going 

 into bee-keeping, should buy Dr. How- 

 ard's book on "Foul Brood." The books 

 are a credit to the American Bee Jour- 

 nal, office, where they were published, 

 as they show the good work that Mr. 

 York and his staff can turn out.

 Woodburn, Ont., Canada, Sept. 20. 



[Thanks, Bro. McEvoy, for your ap- 

 preciation of our work on Dr. Howard's 

 book on " Foul Brood." It is a valuable 

 little work, as we have shown by the 

 excellent testimonials by the best bee- 

 keepers in the land. The Editor of 

 Gleanings mentioned it in terms of high- 

 est praise at the time it first appeared — 

 last April or May. We mail it for only 

 25 cents, or club it with the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year — both together for 

 $1.15.— Editor.] 



The American Bee Journal. 



BY DAVID KILL. 



This old Bee Journal we have read for 

 twenty years and more, 

 And its teaching we have always found 

 to be, 

 What the progressive bee-man needs, who's 

 studying bee-lore 

 And the habits of the blithe and busy bee. 



Like an old friend with genial face, and 



kind, familiar way, 

 It comes to band and makes more bright 



the hours; 

 Or like a day of sunshine in the merry 



month of May, 

 With the humming of the bees among the 



flowers. 



Long may it live, and may we all frater- 

 nally extend 

 A helping hand to speed it on its way. 

 That bigotry, and apicultural ignorance 

 may end. 

 In the clear dawning of a brighter day. 

 Warsaw, N. Y., Sept. 2.3. 



Capons and Caponizing:, by 



Edward Warren Sawyer, M. D., Fanny 

 Field, and others. It shows in clear 

 language and illustrations all about 

 caponlzing fowls ; and thus how to 

 make the most money in poultry-raising. 

 Every poultry-keeper should have it. 

 Price, postpaid, 30 cents ; or clubbed 

 with Bek Journal one year for $1.10.

Honey as F'ood and IVIedicine is 



just the thing to help sell honey, as it shows 

 the various ways in which honey may be 

 used as a food and as a medicine. Try 100 

 copies of it, and see what good 'sales- 

 men " they are. See the second page of this 

 number of the Bee Journal for description 

 and prices. 



One-Cent Postage Stamps we
