The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



Your Name and Address on one side— Three Bees on the other side.

[This Cut is thk tTij-Li^ Size of the Knife.] 



Yoiir Name on the Knife.—When oideriu^, be sure to say just what name and 

 address you wish put on the Knile. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty The novelty I!es in the handle. It is 

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as g-lass. Un- 

 derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 the subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



The Material entering" into this celebrated knife !s of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forg-ed out of the very finest Eng-lish razor-steel, and we war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the lininfjfs are plate brass; 

 the back spring's of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-time, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having- name and address 

 of owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so for- 

 tunate as to have one of the "Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in 

 case of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present! What more lasting- memento could a mother 

 g-ive to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having* 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cu/ gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 this beautiful knife, as the " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us \ hkee new subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.00.) We will club the Novelty 

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90. 



pened to buckwheat and all the rest of 

 the honey-plants. All the honey the 

 bees secured was from white and red 

 clover, in July. 



I have found 3 bee-trees, but there 

 wasn't a pood mess of honey in them. 

 There were ants in one nearly as big" 

 as bees, and I suppose they ate the 

 honey as fast as the bees stored it. I 

 took some of the bees home, and they 

 have stored about 10 pounds of honey 

 since Aug". 15. 



I expect to winter 4 colonies, and 

 hope to have better luck next year.

Working Bees on Shares. 



I came across a lot of bees the other 

 day — about 30 colonies — in a blue- 

 thistle and basswood section along the 

 Potomac River. They were in box- 

 hives, and had never had any atten- 

 tion. The people who own them want 

 me to work for the half of them, pay 

 me for new hives, and bear half of the 

 expense after paying for the hives. 

 I expect to go to look after them in a 

 day or two. They say that there is a 

 great deal of honey in the hives, but 

 they are afraid of the bees, so have not 

 taken any off this season, and if I take 

 it off I am to have half of it.

Two Girl Bee-Keepers. 



I am a little girl only 13 years old, 

 and live on a farm away out here in 

 Washington. My younger sister and 

 I have one strong colony of bees which 

 we found in an old hollow log a year 

 ago. We put them into an old box and 

 brought them home. We got a neigh- 

 bor to make us a hive, which is 13x20 

 inches, 2 story, with 7 frames below 

 and 6 above, put in crosswise. 



I want to tell what those bees did 

 the past summer. They started in last
