Forty Years Among the Bees, by Dr. 



C. C. Miller. — This book contains 32S 

 pages, is bound in handsome cloth, with 

 gold letters and design; it is printed on 

 best book-paper, and illustrated with 

 112 beautiful original half-tone pic- 

 tures, taken by Dr. Miller himself. It 

 is unique in this regard. The first few 

 pages are devoted to an interesting 

 biographical sketch of Dr. Miller, tell- 

 ing how he happened to get into bee- 

 keeping. About 20 vears ago he wrote 

 a small book, called "A Year Among 

 the Bees," but that little work has been 

 out of print for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used in the 

 former book is found in the new one, it 

 all reads like a good new story of suc- 

 cessful bee-keeping by one of the mas- 

 ters, and shows in minutest detail just 

 how Dr. Miller docs things with bees. 

 Price, $1.00.

 S, um ?,*, the Bees in the Apple-Tree 

 Bloom, Buckwheat Cakes and Honey," 

 and The Bee-Keep< rs 1 Lullaby." This 

 booklet should be placed in the hands 

 of everybody not familiar with the 

 food-value of honev. for its main ob- 

 ject is to interest people in honey as a 

 daily table article. Price, 25 cents, or 

 3 copies for 50 cents.

NOVELTY POCKET-KNIFE 



(Name and Address on one side — Three Bees on the other side.) 



Your Name on the Knife. — When ordering, be sure to say 

 just what name and address you wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the 

 handle. It is made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as 

 transparent as glass. Underneath the celluloid, on one side of the 

 handle is placed the name and residence of the owner, and on the 

 other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very 

 best quality ; the blades are hand-forged out of the very finest English 

 razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. It will last a life-time, with 

 proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife?— In case a good knife is lost, 

 the chances are the owner will never recover it ; but if the " Novelty " 

 is lost, having name and address of owner, the finder will return it. 

 If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so 

 fortunate as to have one of the " Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will 

 serve as an identifier; and, in case of death, your relatives will at once 

 be notified of the accident. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife. — We send it postpaid for 

 $1.25, or club the Novelty Knife and the American Bee Journal for one 

 year — both for $2.00. (Allow two weeks for Knife order to be filled.)
