THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.

VW On page 408 of Dec. No. Mr. A. Stiles' 

 address was wrongly given. It should have 

 been Genoa, DeKalb Co. Illinois. 



5gP"The Industrial Motor of Des Moines, 

 Iowa, gives an illustrated article on Mr. 

 Shuck's hive and bee-feeder and recom- 

 mends both very highly. 



Mr. Heddon has gotten up a surplus Honey 

 Register, which indicates the state of the 

 boxes on a hive — whether full, nearly, so, 

 <fcc. It is neat and very useful. 



The American" Economist is the title 

 of a new monthly published at Cedar Rap- 

 ids, Iowa, by Henry A. Cook at $1.50 a year. 

 It contains many interesting articles suita- 

 ble for the farm and fireside, as well as able 

 articles on domestic and political economy. 

 It is well-edited and is altogether a very 

 interesting magaz ne, and well worthy of 

 public patronage. 



On all checks on local banks we have 

 to pay a discount of 25 cents— therefore send 

 us in place of such, drafts on New York or 

 Chicago, or bank bills in a registered letter. 

 Such are always at our risk. 



KEIF We have received some specimens of 

 the new Comb Foundation, with elevated 

 side-walls, as made by Mrs. Dunham. The 

 base of the cells being very thin and the 

 side-walls heavy, supplies a plenty.of wax 

 to complete the full comb. 



S£!r|Those having petitions to Congress 

 against adulteration, will please send them 

 to their own Representative in Congress 

 before January 7th. This, Mr. Dadant re- 

 quests us to state, just as this Journal is 

 going to press. 



' Just as we go to press we learn by a 

 letter from New York, that it is claimed by 

 Messrs. Thurber & Co., that if that cargo of 

 honey sent to England by them is adulte- 

 rated, the bees had done it. This con- 

 firms our view of the case as stated on page 

 4. The whole trouble is caused by feeding 

 to the bees that abominable trash— glucose!
