■ AAAAAAAAAAAA, 



We wish every reader of the American Bee Journal to become acquainted with GLEANINGS IN BEE-CULTURE. 

 We extend a cordial invitation in our offer to send you the paper 10 weeks for 10 cents. 



There is no bee-paper in the world like Gleanings. Its aim is to meet the needs of every bee-keeper everywhere, 

 and it does it. Whether you own one colony or a thousand or are merely interested you cannot afford to miss a single 

 number. Gleanings is progressive. Every number is an improvement over the last. 



It is useless to state that Gleanings excels in this point. Regular departments 

 are edited by Dr. C. C. Miller, G. M. Doolittle, Prof. A. J. Cook, J. A. Green and Louis 

 SchoU. These names speak for themselves for they are the best writers of the day. 

 Every issue contains articles from the pens of the best bee-keepers all over the land. A 

 list of them would be the catalog of the most successful bee-keepers the world over. We 

 will soon begin a series of remarkable articles by E. W. Alexander. We are safe in say- 

 ing a higher price was never paid for an article of this class than we paid for a single one 

 of this series. Every one of them will be worth hundreds of dollars to bee-keepers. 



Contributors 



Half-Tone 

 Illustrations 



During the past summer ve have had a special artist to take photographs for us. 

 He has traveled on our account alone the past summer over 4000 miles and we can prom- 

 ise some very fine pictures. Many of the Second Prize Photo Contest, American and 

 Foreign, will appear soon. Our engravings are made by the very finest engravers in the 

 United States. Just this wealth of illustration doubles the value of the paper. 



Advertisements 



Gleanings prides itself on the clean class of advertisements it carries. Its subscrib- 

 ers show their appreciation of the fact by their liberally patronizing them. There is no 

 better medium in the United States for those catering to the needs of the bee-keeper. We 

 now print 2S,C00 copies and yet with our special edition (Dec. IS, 40,000) our old rates 

 hold good which were based on 20,000 circulation. Gleanings gives its subscribers and 

 advertisers full measure, pressed down and running over. 



December 15tli 

 Issue 



We are pleased to announce that extensive plans are now under way for a Special 

 Christmas Issue of Gleanings. It is planned that this issue shall far exceed in its wealth 

 of contributed articles, its half-tones and its cover design than anything that heretofore 

 has been attempted in bee-keeping literature. The cover is to be designed and printed 

 by one of the best color printing establishments in the United States. The design is 

 something unique and beautiful indeed. This issue will contain nearly 100 pages, and 

 40,000 copies will be printed, making a bee-keepers' magazine that compares favorably 

 with any magazine of the present day. 



Subscribe 



When you have read this notice take up your pen and tell us to send you Gleanings 

 Ten Weeks and enclose Ten Cents, in coin or stamps. Don't put it off. The magnifi- 

 cent Christmas Number alone will be worth 25 cents to any bee-keeper. We don't prom- 

 ise this number to any but subscribers. Don't put this matter off for you will never be 

 able to spend 10 cents to better advantage.
