'We ^Vant a Representative at all the 

 Fairs to be held this season. The Amer- 

 ican Bee JoirRNAL is the recognized de- 

 fender of the rights of the bee-keepers, 

 against the attacks of the ignorant and prej- 

 udiced. There are thousands who would 

 gladly subscribe to it if it were only brought 

 to their notice, and its claims presented. 

 When making an exhibit, please send for 

 our Colored Posters and sample copies, and 

 get up a club. In this way you will not 

 only pay yourself for the trouble, but also 

 aid the pursuit, and its defense all over the 

 country.

 American Bee JornNAL for the years 1887 

 and 1S88, we will supply both these years,

 valuable, and those who have not yet read

 useful to have a dictionary at hand to decide
