 1888, wrote as follows concerning their use 

 of the advertising columns of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal :

 ment in the American Bee Journal than 

 from all the other bee-papers put together. 

 We shall advertise in it again next year. 



Hastings'' I»erlection Fectler.— 



This excellent Feeder will hold 3 quarts, 

 and the letting down of the feed is regulated 

 by a thumb-screw. The cap screws securely 

 on. It is easy to regulate— either a spoonful 

 or a quart— and that amount can be given 

 in an hour or a day, as desired. By it the 

 food can be given wliere it is most needed- 

 just over the cluster. Not a drop need be 

 lost, and no robber bees can get at it. A 

 single one can be had for 40 cents, or a 

 dozen for $3.50, and it can be obtained at 

 this oface. Postage 10 cents extra. 



Alfalfa CIo-**-!-.— For habits and cul- 

 tivation of this honey-plant, see page 245. 

 We supply the seed at the following prices : 

 —Per lb., •23c. ; per peck, $3.00 ; per half- 

 bushel, $5.50 ; per bushel of 60 lb., $10.00. 

 If wanted by mail, add 10 cents per pound 

 for bag and postage. 



Yonr Full Address, plainly written,

 no one can afford to do without it.
