To Those Interested in Bee Culture. 



At the sixth iiiuuial mooting of the Michi- 

 gan Boo-Koopcrs' Association, it was decided 

 to hold a special meeting at Kalamazoo, to 

 commence AVednesday, May (5, 1874. It is 

 especially desired tliat all members be pres- 

 ent, and, in behalf of the Association, we 

 urge every Bee-keeper in Michigan to attend. 

 A cordial invitation is also extended to all 

 persons interested in the science of Bee-cul- 

 ture whetlior residing in this or other States. 

 iSuroly much good may be derived from a 

 comparison of experiences next Spring, and 

 from the able pai)ers tl\at will then be pre- 

 sented. Timely notice will be given of all 

 further arrangements. Address communica- 

 tions or inquii'ies concerning the subject to 

 Fkaxk Benton, Sec'i/.

Newspaper Decisions. 



1. Any person who takes a paper regularly 

 from the post-oftice — whether directed to his 

 name or another's, or whether he has sub- 

 scribed or not — -is responsible for the pay- 

 ment. 



2. If any person orders his paper discon- 

 tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the 

 publisher may cantinue to send it, until pay- 

 ment is made, and collect the whole amount — 

 whether tlie paper is taken from the office or 

 not. 



3. The courts have decided that refusing 

 to take uewsinxpers and periodicals from the 

 post-office, or removing and leaving them 

 uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of in- 

 tentional fraud. 



Clubbing Bee Journals.

 us to say what we will club with other Bee 

 publications for. We therefore quote the

 tional Bee .Journal," by Mrs. Tupper, for

 American Bee Journal for three months 

 for 25 cents, on trial. Now is the time to 

 send in hundreds of such trial subscribers. 

 Who wants to TRY IT? 



Any one having paid $2.00 for the Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal for 1874, and desiring to 

 obtain the "Illustrated Journal," for 1874, 

 and our magnificent Fruit Chromo, may 

 send us $1.50 more and obtain them. 



We shall, hereafter, publisli a Honey Mar- 

 ket Report each month, so that Bee-keepers 

 will know how honey is selling, not only in 

 Chicago, but in St. Louis, Cincinnati, San 

 Francisco, and New York. We shall do our 

 utmost to make the Journal in all respects 

 an organ for Bee-keepers throughout the Un- 

 ion. We shall take pains to ascertain who 

 is responsible, so that none shall be wronged 

 out of their dues. 



The " Home Grange " is published at St. 

 Louis in the interest of farmers. It contains 

 also profitable miscellaneous reading for the 

 fireside. It is issued monthly, at the low 

 price of $1.50 a year.

 ly by the Southern Publishing Co., of Atlanta, 

 Ga. Besides being a periodical devoted to

 Agriculture and Domestic Economy. It is
