I believe the common parsnip is not 

 considered poisonous to any consider- 

 able extent, but rather quite harmless. 

 The natural instinct of animals is 

 usually sufficient to prevent disastrous 

 results from eating poisonou.s weeds 

 too freely. 



Bees may visit a very poisonous 

 plant with impunity, and bear away 

 the precious nectar, while the same 

 quantity of the sap of the plant would 

 prove hig-hly injurious.

The honey crop of Utah will not be 

 up to the average. There will not be 

 more than five counties that will ship

TiieBee-KeeDer's 



Or, Manual of the Apiary, 



BY 



PROR A. J. COOK. 



460 Pages— 16th (1899) Edition— 18th Thou- 

 sand— $1.25 postpaid. 



A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary—it is simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book publisht to-day. Fully 

 illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat- 

 ing style. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to require auy introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Kkepers' Guide. 



This 16th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's 

 magnificent book of 460 pages, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to give away 

 to our present subscribers, for the work of get- 

 ting NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Journal. 



Given for TWO New Subscribers. 



The following offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also given to 

 the two NEW subscribers— simply the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year: 



Send us two new subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal (with $3.00), and we will mail you a copy 

 of Prof. Cook's book FREE as a premium. 

 Prof. Cook's book alone sent for $1.25, or we club 

 it with the Bee Journal for a rear— both for onlv 

 $1.75. But surely anybody can get only TWO 

 NEW^ SUBSCRIBERS to the Bee Journal for a year, 

 and thus get the book as a premium. Let everv 

 body try for it. Will YOU have one ?|
