 Medicine " to every one who buys a package

 the Bees," and the Amekican Bee Jotm- 

 NAL for one year— we send both for $1.50. 



If you L.ose IVIoney by carelessly en- 

 closing it in a letter, it is without excuse, 

 when a Money Order, which is perfectly 

 safe, costs but 5 cents. 



ISew Subscribers can obtain the full 

 numbers for 1888 and 1889 for »1.80, if appli- 

 cation be made at once, before all the sets 

 of 1888 are gone.

 Several of our letters have already gone to

 Extracted Honey in kegs holding about 220 

 pounds each, which we are selling, free on 

 board the cars, at 8 cents per pound for 

 Amber and 9 cents per pound for White.

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
