Read Dr. Miller's Testimony on Alfalfa Honey : 



I've just sampled the honev you sent, and it's prime. Thank you, I feel that 

 I'm soraethingr of a heretic, to sell several thousand pounds of honey of my own pro- 

 duction and then buy honey of you for my own use. But however loyal one ouf^ht to 

 be to the honey of his own reg-ion, there's no denying the fact that for use in any 

 kind of hot drink, where one prefers the more wholesome honey to su^ar. the verv 

 excellent quality of alfalfa honey I have received from you is better suited than the 

 honeys of more niarkt flavor, according- to my taste. C. C. Miller.

Order the Above Honey and then Sell It. 



We would suggest that those bee-keepers who did not produce 

 enough honey for their home demand this year, just order some of 

 the above, and sell it. And others, who want to earn some money, 

 can get this honey and work up a demand for it almost anywhere.

BY 



PROF, A, J. COOK, 



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

 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 any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' 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 awav 

 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 $^,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 year— 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 every 

 body try for it. Will YOU have one ?
