TI16 Be6-Ke6D6r's 



Or, Manual of the Apiary, 



BY 



PROF. A, J. COOK. 



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

 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- 

 Btantial cloth binding, we propose to give away 

 to our present subscribers, for the work of get- 

 ting NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Jonrnal. 



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 

 Jonrnal [with $i.OO),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 only 

 $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 ?

2^0.4 '* Barlpi' IdeaV Oil-Heater. 



The "Barler Ideal" 



OIL=HEATER.... 



Saves Its Cost Every Year ! 



NO ODOR I NO SMOKE! NO ASHES I 



Costs only a cent an hour to run it. 



The editor of the American Bee Journal is using the 

 " Barler Ideal " Oil Heater, and it is all rii^ht in every way. 

 We liked it so well that we wanted our readers to have it 

 too, so we have recently arraniied with its manufacturers to 

 fill our orders. The picture shown here\\'itli is the one we 

 recommend for g^eneral use. It is a perfect gem of a stove 

 for heating dining-rooms, bed-rooms, and bath-rooms. It 

 hinges back in a substantial way, and is thoroly well made 

 thruout. Tile urn removes for heating water. The brass 

 fount, or well, has a bail, and holds nearly one gallon of 

 kerosene oil. It is just as safe as an ordinary lamp. You 

 wouldn't be without it for twice its cost, after once having 

 one of these stoves. Most oil-stoves emit an offensive odor, 

 but this one doesn't. Its hight is 2'.; feet, and weighs 

 30 pounds, or 30 pounds crated ready for shipment, 

 either by freight or express. 



Price, fob. Chicago. $6.00 ; or, combined 

 with a year's subscription to the American Bee 

 Journal— both I'or only $6.50. Full Directions 

 GO wrrH EACH Stove. 



If you want something that is really serviceable, 

 reliable, and thoroly comfortable, you should get this 

 "Barler Ideal" Oil Stove, as it can easily be carried 

 by any woman from one room to another, and thus 

 have all the heat you want right where you want it.

YELLOW OR WHITE 



Sweet Clover Seed 



Free as a Premium 



For Sending us One New Subscriber for a Year. 



There has been so much written 

 about both the white and the yellow 

 variety of sweet clover, that we will 

 simply say here that if one of our pres- 

 ent regular subscribers will send us $1 

 with a new name for next year (1901)> 

 we will send the new subscriber the bal- 

 ance of this year's (1900) numbers free, 

 and mail, postpaid, to the one sending^ 

 the new name and the dollar, either 

 one pound of yellow sweet clover seed, 

 or two pounds of the white sweet clo- 

 ver. This is a goodj' chance to get a 

 start of both kinds of these honey clo- 

 vers. Better send two new subscribers 

 (with $2.00) and get the three pounds 

 of seed. Address,
