OX-BLOOD 



A SURE 

 CURE. 



This preparation contains in a concentrated form tlie active principles of healthy bullock's 

 blood combined with the most -valuable nerve, brain, blood and flesh producing drugs known to 

 the practicing fraternity. 



Greatest discovery of the age for suffering people. Less than a year since first put m use, and 

 thousands are being" cured every day. To convince you we give a 3 weeks' treatment free— all we 

 ask is for you to send 10 cents to pay postage on sending it. This is safer than paying a doctor $25 

 to experiment on you. 3 weeks' treatment sent free on receipt of lo cts. in stamps. 



"I wish to say to you that after many long months of suffering and a broken-down system from 

 the effects of child-bed fever, and at a very large e.ipense with different physicians, and after using 

 26 bottles of patent medicines and no relief, ray husband was compelled to give a mortgage on our 

 home to send me to a hospital, where I still suffered and no relief. I was induced to try your three 

 weeks' treatment of Ox-Blood Tablets, and gained so much in the three weeks that I consented to 

 continue the treatment with a SOc box. They have taken all the pain away. I have gained won- 

 derfully in flesh, and feel as if I had never been sick a day in my life. I advise all weak women to 

 try Ox-Blood Tablets and get the same results I have." Mks. F. G. Edwakds, Clarinda, Iowa.

Four Celluloid Queen= Buttons Free 



AS 7\ PREMIUM. 



For sending us ONE NEW SUBSCRIBER to the 



Bee Journal for the balance of this year, with 50 

 cents, we will mail you FOUR of these pretty but- 

 tons for wearing on the coat-lapel. (You can wear 

 one and give the others to the children.) The queen 

 has a golden tinge. This offer is made only to our present regular subscribers. 



NOTE.— One reader writes: *' I have every reason to believe that it would be a very good idea 

 for every bee-keeper to wear one [of the buttons] as it will cause people to ask questions about the 

 busy bee, and many a conversation thus started would wind up with the sale of more or less honey; 

 at any rate, it would give the bee-keeper a superior opportunitj- to enlighten raanj' a person in re- 

 gard to honey and bees." 



Prices of Buttons alone, postpaid : One button, 8 cts.; 2 buttons, 6 cts. each ; 

 5 or more, 5 cts. each. (Stamps taken.) Address,

suit will tell on this year's product. 

 Bees have generally wintered well, 

 and a superior grade of honey may be 

 lookt for. Idaho, Nevada, and South- 

 ern California will not have enough 

 honey to supply their local markets ; 

 while Colorado -svill produce about the 

 same amount as last year. April was 

 severe on Colorado bee-keepers, and 

 Utah had but little pleasant weather 

 during that month. Tho stormy and 

 windy, the weather was not as cold as 

 is usual here. 



The general outlook for the West is 

 certainly not any more favorable than 

 last year, for a fair honey crop.

Honey-Flow Commeneed. 



Our honey-flow commenced about 

 two weeks ago, and we have taken 

 some honey. I am experimenting this 

 season with the plain sections and 

 fence separators. The honey in them 

 is fancy and white. 



The American Bee Journal's weekly 

 visits are always welcome. The latest 

 issue for May 10 is especially full of 

 " good things."

More About Belgian Hares. 



I perused with great interest the 

 article on Belgian hares by Prof. Cook, 

 on page 292, and as a breeder of two 

 years' experience, I agree in the main 

 with the remarks therein made, with one 

 exception, viz.: He says the Belgian 

 hare is "bulky, fat, and logy." Now. 

 I would like to know where Prof. Cook 

 saw hares answering to that descrip- 

 tion. And is it a fact, as often hinted, 

 that California is in the lead as far as 

 numbers go ? She is not in quality, 

 for I have not seen anv true Belgian 



Yellow Sweet Clover Seed 



WE HAVE IT AT LAST I 

 We have finally succeeded in g-etting- a small 

 quantity of the seed of the yellow variety of 

 sweet clover. This kind blooms from two to 

 four weeks earlier than the common or white 

 variety of sweet clover. It also grows much 

 shorter, only about two feet in hig-ht. It is as 

 much visited by the bees as the white, and usu- 

 ally comes into bloona ahead of white clover 

 and basswood. We offer the seed as a premium 



A QUARTER POUND FOR SENDING 

 ONE NEW SUBSCRIPTION. 



So long as it lasts, we will mail a quarter 

 pound of the seed to a regular paid-up subscri- 

 ber who sends us ONE NEW subscriber for the 

 American Bee Journal one year, with $1.00; or J^ 

 pound by mail for 30 cents. 



We have been trying for years to secure this 

 seed, and finally succeeded in getting' it. It is 

 new seed, gathered last season by an old per- 

 sonal friend of ours, so we know it is alLrig-ht. 

 But we have only a small supply. When nearly 

 out we will mention it.
