Yonr Full Addi-esis, plainly written, 

 Is very essential in order to avoid mistakes. 



Africa is a prime subject of interest, 

 and Emma Raymond Pitman's article in 

 Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine for 

 March, on " Slavery and Missions on the 

 East Coast of Africa," will tell much about 

 that part of the dark continent which is 

 foremost in the mind. The Mohammedan 

 women of India are described by S. F. Nor- 

 ris, and P. J. Popoff contributes a valuable 

 article on "Prejevalski's Adventures in 

 Central Asia." There are many short arti- 

 cles and poems, and some beautiful full- 

 page-illustrations. 



A Favorable Word from any of our 

 readers, who speak from experience, has 

 more weight with their friends than any- 

 thing we might say. Every one of our 

 readers can lend us a helping hand, in this 

 way, without much trouble, and at the same 

 time help to scatter apicultural knowledge 

 and promote the welfare of our pursuit. 



A Home Market for honey can be 

 made by judiciously distributing the 

 pamphlets, " Honey as Food and Medicine." 

 Such will create a demand in any locality at 

 remunerative prices. See list on the second 

 page of this paper. 



Cork Jbr 'Winter Packing.— Its 



advantages are that it never becomes musty, 

 and it is odorless. Cushions can be made 

 of cloth and filled with the cork, for winter 

 packing. We can supply all orders now at 

 10 cents per pound. Or a seamless sack of 

 it, containing 15 pounds, for $1.00. 



Send Us tlie IVames of bee-keepers 

 in your neighborhood who should take and 

 read the American Bee Jouenal, and we 

 will send them a sample copy. In this way 

 we may obtain many regular subscribers, 

 for thousands have never seen a copy, or 

 even know of its existence. This is one 

 way to help the cause along.
