We tVant a Kepresentative at all the 

 Fairs to be lield this season. The Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal is the recognized de- 

 fender of the riglits 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. 



Hastings' JPertection Feeder.— 



This excellent Feeder will hold a quart, 

 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 yvhere 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. 



Many ^ood Advertisers invite our 

 readers to send for their descriptive Circu- 

 lars, etc. It will pay to get these, and see 

 what is for sale, by whom, at what prices, 

 and what things are offered. Every one 

 can learn something in this way. Please 

 always tell advertisers where you saw their 

 cards ; they like to know, and we like to 

 have them. 



Franer's National Flower is the title of a 

 be.iutif ul pamphlet which contains two colored 

 plates of the two most popular candidates for 

 selection as the National Flower of America. 

 It also has two poems, and a postal card 

 addressed to Messrs. L. Prang & Co., Boston, 

 Mass., with a vote to be flUed up for the 

 selection of a National flower. The pamphlet 

 costs 25 cents, and can be obtained at this 

 olfice. 



Send Us tlie ]^anie!« of bee-keepers 

 in your neighborhood who should take and 

 read the American Bee Journal, 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.
