The Bee Journal for 1885. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following

 at this office before Feb. 1, 1885 (either

The book for every farmer is the one 

 entitled "Affleck's Farmer's and Planter's 

 Record and Account Book," in which there 

 Is the most systematic, complete and conve- 

 nient arrangement of heading's for every 

 Farm Account and memoranda of all impor- 

 tant events which may occur in connection 

 with his business. Every progressive farmer 

 certainly desires to make a success of his 

 occupation, and should adopt every possible 

 means of bringing about that result. He, 

 then, should have a correct knowledge of 

 his entire business, which he can have only 

 by keeping a correct account of every crop 

 produced on his farm, the cost of production 

 of all his live stock and an itemized account 

 of all his expenses. Then at the close of the 

 year, when he takes off his balance sheet, 

 which is admirably arranged in the book 

 above referred to, he will be able to see at a 

 glance whether his farm does or does not 

 pay. 



This valuable book contains 166 pages, 

 is nicely printed on writing paper, ruled and 

 bound, and the price is $3.00. It can be sent 

 by mail for 24 cents extra. 



We can supply these books at the publish- 

 er's price, or will make a present of one 

 copy for every club of TEN subscribers to 

 the Weekly Bee Journai, for one year, with 

 J20. Four subscribers to the Monthly will 

 count the same as one for the Weekly. 



Now is the time to get up Clubs. Who will 

 work for a copy of this valuable book.

Bailey's Swarm-Catcher. 



How strange it is that men's eyes upon the same 

 subject to all intents and purposes will fneus so 

 differently, as was in the two cases of which 1 will 

 mention, viz : 1. An individual living not many 

 miles from here, and who had seen an illustration 

 of the Bailey Swarm-Catcher in the BEE JtHKNAL 

 and also in A. 11. Newman's Cataluuue, allowed 

 one to be made and used in his apiary and then 

 claimed that he had a right to make and use any 

 patented article for his own individual use, and 

 that he had good authoritv for the same, which 

 was published last winter In the Inter Ocean. A 

 second individual takes a different view of the 

 subject and writes me thus : 



Pickett's. Wis., July va, is84.— "I have got into 

 trouble with the bees as you said I would, and saw 

 the need of one of your Swarm Catchers ; but 

 then 1 thought perhaps you were short, as your 

 stock was low when I was at your place. I wanted 

 to be at home when my bees were swarming bo I 

 took the liberty to make one, and now inform tou 

 of the same and will pay vou at the first opportu- 

 nity. 1 have no desire to infringe on any one's 

 right, and will not do so. If I keep bees I will want 

 more of them next season. For this liberty, I hope 

 you will excuse. ' 



Now let facts be as they may, is it consistent 

 with good reasoning that our Government will 

 foster in itsmidst a Patent OHice whic^ has accu- 

 mulated wealth above the expense of running the 

 business and still continues to receive money from 

 the inventor's hand, who may labor and experi- 

 ment for weeks, months and years, only to learn 

 that the strong arm of protection of the Patent 

 Office, with the United States' seal upon its docu- 

 ment, is nothing but a farce ? Hear what a reliable 

 man of Texas says : 



"I have tried the Bailey Swarm-Catoher this 

 year, and it has given general satisfaction to me. 

 I could not manage bees without it. It fills the bill 

 and will do all that it is recommended to do. J. T. 

 Lindley, Ingram, Kerr Co.. Te-vas." 



"I think the Bailey Swarm Catcher a yery good 

 thing, and will do all that is claimed for it. L. M. 

 Lacy. Locke Hill, Texas. Oct. 6. 1884."
