THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER.

the advertiser the one who knows ? 

 All advertising, either " continu- 

 ous" or " spasmodic " does not pay. 

 It all depends upon the wording of the 

 advertisement, or the articles advertis- 

 ed as well as the character and circula- 

 tion of the paper in which the adver- 

 tisement appears. There is no doubt 

 continuous advertising pays (if any 

 kind will) but if one has a certain 

 amount to spend he will receive more 

 returns if a single advertisement is 

 placed in several papers than if it is 

 placed several successive times in 

 a single paper. 



The first 25 subscriptions received 

 after January 15th, either new or re- 

 newals will receive free two sheets of 

 popular music with beautifully litho- 

 graphed covers. Original value, 60 

 ■cents a copy. This is a great offer. 



The remarks made by us recently 

 in reference to a "mutual admira- 

 tion" society have touched some ten- 

 der spots among our fellow publish- 

 ers. We are glad this is so, still the 

 spirit of our remarks have in some in- 

 stances been sadl}^ misconstrued. No 

 one likes to have ' ' everything har- 

 monious " more than the writer, at 

 the same time one should preserve at 

 all times his individuality and inde- 

 pendence, remembering that what 

 appears in the columns of his paper 

 should be of interest to all his readers 

 and not some individual one. For 

 instance, who cares if ' ' Bro. A. has 

 lost a valuable cow,"" or " Editor B. 

 had the grippe last week ? '" If 

 Bro A. " or ' ' Editor B. " is a person- 

 al friend convey your sympathy to 

 him by a personal communication. 

 Don't take valuable space in your ed- 

 'itorial columns to do so. 



"W. M. Grerrish, of East Notting- 

 ham, N. H., carries a large stock of 

 our supplies and will furnish them at 

 our catalogue prices, so any of our 

 customers who live nearer to Mr. Ger^ 

 rish than to us will save some freight 

 by getting their supplies from him. 



On Jan. 29, 30, 31 will be held in 

 Mayville, N. Y., the first annual ex- 

 hibition of poultry, pigeons and pet 

 stock of the Chautauqua Lake Poultry 

 Club. Entries close January 22. A 

 large lot of valuable premiums will 

 be offered. 



The first number of the American 

 Bee Journal for 1895, has appeared 

 in an enlarged form. It is much im- 

 proved in other ways. 



Our annual catalog for 1895 will be 

 mailed about Feb. 1st to all our cus- 

 tomers and subscribers and those 

 who have asked for a copy during 

 the past year. 



The annual meeting of the Ontario 

 County, N. Y. , Bee Keepers Associ- 

 ation will be held at Canandaigua, N. 

 Y., Jan. 25, 26, 1895. This will be 

 the most interesting meeting of bee 

 keepers that will be held in N. Y.
