 poor quality." Stearns & Smith. 



A Hint to Beginners.— Those who may 

 desire to read up in the literature of bee- 

 keeping, are advised to obtain the first Vol- 

 ume of The American Bee Journal. It 

 is worth five times its price to any intend- 

 ing bee-keeper. It contains a full elucida- 

 tion of scientific bee-keeping, including the 

 best statement extant of the celebrated 

 Dzierzon theory. These articles run 

 through all the numbers, and are from the 

 pen of the Baron of Berlepsch. We have 

 but a few copies left; price, $1.25, in cloth 

 boards, postpaid. 



It^^ Subscribers will please notice the 

 date upon their subscription labels and see 

 that they are "up with the times."
