Hasting;^'' Perlection Feeder.— 



This excellent Feeder will hold 2 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 where 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 S3.50, and it can be obtained at 

 this office. Postage 10 cents extra. 



Alfalfa, Clover.— For habits and cul- 

 tivation of this honey-plant, see page ai.5. 

 We supply the seed at the following prices : 

 —Per lb., 22c. ; per peck, $3.00 ; per half- 

 bushel, $5.50 ; per bushel of 60 lb., 810.00. 

 If wanted by mail, add 10 cents per pound 

 for bag and postage. 



Your Full Address, plainly written, 

 is very essential in order to avoid mistakes.

One I>ay I>ater.— Ileretofore we have 

 closed the forms of the Bee Journal on 

 Saturday, and the printing was commenced 

 on Monday morning. This arrangement 

 often excluded news and announcements of 

 importance which came to hand on Mon- 

 day, two days later. To prevent this, in the 

 future, we shall keep the forms of type open 

 Monday forenoon ; the press will then be 

 started, and the folding, stitching, trim- 

 ming and mailing will all be completed by 

 Wednesday at 5 p.m., when the Joi^rnal 

 will be put into the [post-office— jiist one 

 day Inter than usual. We give this notice 

 to prevent disappointment to those who 

 have been getting their copies on a particu- 

 lar train and day— look for it 34 hours later, 

 and you will not be disappointed. This 

 gives us the advantage of two days, while 

 the mailing is delayed only 24 hours. 



Wlien you send us your subscription 

 for 1889, please send the subscriptions of 

 your neighboring bee-keepers, and to pay 

 you for your trouble, we will send you, as a 

 premium, anything you select from our 

 Catalogue to the value of 25 cents on each 

 dollar subscription sent. 



tict Every One who believes in de- 

 fending " our pursuit " against the attacks 

 of the misguided and preverse, join the 

 National Bee-Keepers' Union, by sending a 

 dollar to this office. It only costs a dollar a 

 year, and every bee-keeper should be a 

 member. 



We will Present a Pocket Dictionary

 useful to have a dictionary at hand to decide 

 the spelling of words, and then' meaning.
