J^pcciul Uoticcs, 



SPECIAl, NOTICE.— On January 1,1886, 

 the price of the Weekly Bee Journal will 

 be reduced to One, Dollar a Tear. This we 

 have contemplated for some years, and only 

 awaited the proper time to warrant us in 

 issuing the Weekly Bee Joubnal at the very 

 low price of one dollar a year. That time 

 has now come. We shall continue to im- 

 prove the Bee Journal, and it will main- 

 tain its proud position as the leading bee- 

 paper of the World ! 



" Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 to xis 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 for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut don't stop sending 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 requested to do so. 



^^" We have received from the Pub- 

 lishers a copy of a very handy book for 

 Evening Amusement, entitled " How to En- 

 tertain AN Evening Party," containing a 

 large collection of Tableaux, Gaines, Amus- 

 ing E.xperiments, Card Tricks, Parlor Magic, 

 altogether giving an immense fund of fam- 

 ily amusement and parlor or drawing-room 

 entertainment, night after night, for a whole 

 winter. It contains 128 pages, and will be 

 sent to any address on receipt of 2,j cents, 

 by J. S. OOILVIE & Co., the Publishers, .31 

 Rose Street, New York. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



^^ To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets " Why Eat 

 Honey" (only .")0 cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them plentifully, and the result 

 will ho a DEMAND for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the following prices : 



Single cop.v. 5 cts. ; per doz., 40 cts. ; per 

 hundred, $2.oO. Five hundred will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00; or 1,000 for §15,00. 

 On orders of 100 or more, we will print, if 

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

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

 keeper who scatters them). 



To siTe away a copy of " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine" to every one who buys a 

 package of honey, will sell almost any quan- 

 tity of it. 



Tlie AVcstcrn W^orUl Guide and Haud- 

 Book of Useful Information, contains the 

 greatest amount of useful information ever 

 put together in such a cheap form. The 

 printing, paper, and binding are excellent, 

 aud the book is well worth a dollar. To any 

 one sending us two new subscribers besides 

 their own, with $3, for one year, we will 

 present a copy of this valuable book.

To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offlce, County 

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

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list.

 reading up bee-literature. We have all the 

 newest bee-books and can fill all orders on 

 the day they are received.

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

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

 mission, charging .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 beeswax 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 insures prompt 

 and careful attention in all its details. 



Sample of comb honey must be a full case, 

 representing a fair average of the lot. On 

 such sample we will make prompt returns,, 

 whether we btiy or not.
