Bees and Poultry.— But few out-door 

 pursuits go so well together as bees and 

 poultry. Give the poultry the necessary 

 attention in the morning and evening, and 

 give the bees such of the time between as 

 becomes necessary. We have made arrange- 

 ments by which we can supply the American 

 Poultry Journal {price $1.25) and the Weekly 

 Bee Journal both for $1,75 a year. This 

 is a rare opportunity to get two standard 

 papers for about the price of one. 



Preserve your papers for reference. 

 If you have not got a Binder we will mail you 

 one tor 75 cents, or you can have one free 

 if you will send us .1 new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journal.

P^ Sample Copies of the Bee Journal 

 will be sent free upon application. Anyone 

 intending- to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview by sending the names to this office, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



i^^ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (t3'20 pages) 1-5 



** 200 colonies {-120 pages) 1 50 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable 



Tlie larKeHt rabbasico grower* In tlie 

 world (W.M. .Johnson & Co., of Chicago), 

 use upwards of 5,000 acres of land for grow- 

 ing cabbages. Last season they manufac- 

 tured l!t,*iO0 barrels of sourkrout, besides 

 shipping 407 carloads of cabbages to Ea8t> 

 ern cities. They use and recommend Tilling- 

 hast's Pugot Sound Cabbage Seeds. The dis- 

 seminator of this renowned brand of seeds, 

 Isaac F. Tillinghast, of La Plume, Pa., in 

 order to introduce them into every county 

 in the Union, has organized a Seed and Plant 

 Growers" Association. One reliable party in 

 each town in the Union is being enrolled as 

 special agent, and is supplied with seeds in 

 trade-marked packages, and also instruction 

 books which will enable any one to grow 

 cabbage plants successfully anywhere. 

 Parties desiring seeds of plants, will, upon 

 application to Mr. Tillinghast, be furnished 

 with the addresses of agents nearest them, 

 from whom they may be obtained. Pur- 

 chasers are thus saved unnecessary express 

 charges, and assured of obtaining the best 

 strain <jf cabbage seeds or plants which can 

 be procured. 



This association thus furnishes one man 

 in each town— the appointed agent— a good 

 cash-paying business in selling seeds and 

 growing and supplying plants. There are 

 still many excellent localities unoccupied, 

 and any one so situated as to act as agent 

 for this association should address Mr. Till- 

 inghast as above, for particulars in regard 

 to it. 



Mr. Tillinghast has also just put upon the 

 market a '* Cabbage Pest Powder," which is 

 entirely harmless to the plant at any stage 

 of its growth, and also harmless to persons 

 eating them, yet the most effective destroyer 

 of lice, fleas and worms which has ever been 

 compounded. It retails at 24 cents per 

 pound. 



^(Ixjtrtisjemjciits. 



WE are now in the market, and will be 

 dunug: liie entire season, for all honey 

 offered us, in any quantity, shape, or condi- 

 tion—just so it is pure. We will sell on com- 

 mission, chargrinjf 5 percent.; or, if a sam- 

 ple is sent us, we will make the best cash 

 offer the general market will afford. We 

 will handle beeswa.v the same way. and can 

 furnish bee-men in quantities, crude or re- 

 fined, at lowest market prices Mr. Jerome 

 Twichell, our junior member in this depart- 

 ment, has full charge, which insuers prompt 

 and careful attention in all its details. 



Sample of combhoney must be afull case, 

 representing a fair average of the lot. On 

 such sample we will make prompt returns, 

 whether we buy or not.
