SPECIAIi NOTICE.— On January 1,1886, 

 the price of the Weekly Bef; Journal will 

 be reduced tn One DuUnr a Year. This we 

 have contemplated for some years, and only 

 awaited the proper time to warrant us in 

 issuing the V>''eekly Bee Journal at the very 

 low price of <me, dallar a year. That time 

 has now come. We shall continue to im- 

 prove the Uke Journal, and it will Main- 

 tain its proud position as the leading bee- 

 paper of the World ! 



New subscribers will be supplied with the 

 Weekly from now until the end of the year 

 1886, for $1.25. 



Those who have already subscribed for 

 any portion of next year will have the time 

 beyond January 1st doubled. These changes 

 in the mail-list type are alread.v made. 



For $1.25 we will send the Weekly Bee 

 Journal to neiv suhscriheys from now until 

 the end of 188.')— fifteen months. Now is 

 the time to subscribe. The sooner it is done 

 the more they will get for the money. 



To Correspoiiileiits. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. (). address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that ha%-e no name; 

 many others having no Post^Offlce. County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post- 

 iDice and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



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 ifl.'i"])and the Weekly 

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

 is a rare opportunity to get two standard 

 papers for less than the price of one. For a 

 free sample send to the Poultry Journal. 



*^ l>oii*l Slop" — that is what many write 

 to us about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says: "This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient forme to send you the money now 

 to rcm;w my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut dun't stop seiidUt{j it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters arc coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until reijuested to do so. 



tl^~ To create Honey Markets in every 

 villagt.', town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets "Why Eat 

 Honey" (only .50 cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them plentifully, and the result 

 will be a dem.\nu for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the following prices ;

 desired, on the eover-page, "Presented by," 

 etc. (giving the name and address of the bee- 

 keeper who scatters them).
