M'e M'ant a Representative at all the 

 Fairs to be held this season. The Amek- 

 icAN Bee Journal is the recognized de- 

 fender of the rights of the bee-keepers, 

 against the attacks of the ignorant and prej- 

 udiced. There are tliousauds 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 Culorcd 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.

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 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 83.50, and it can be obtained at 

 this office. Postage 10 cents extra.

 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.
