THE AMERICAN BEE JOUKNAL. 



head unnecessary. The premiums 

 usually offered for honey are generally 

 of like character. Some who have 

 taken no pains with their bees may 

 have a box of honey that will please 

 judges better than the honey on exhibi- 

 tion by a bee-keeper who has taken un- 

 wearied pains and succeeded in making 

 his bees pay big profit. Wo have seen 

 this. 



Until some way is found to remedy 

 this injustice there is little use in bee 

 keepers competing for premiums, al- 

 though it may, and doubtless does, pay 

 those who wish to make sales to adver- 

 tise their bees, hives or extracts by ex- 

 hibiting when such advertisement is 

 not too expensive. T.

ST. LOUIS.— Quotations from W. G. Smith 

 419 Nortli Main st. 



I am overrun witli inquiries for the sale of 

 honey and asking wliat I will give for honey, 

 etc., and I wisli you to say tln-ough the Joun- 

 NAL for me, once for all, that I do not buy 

 honey at all. I liave sold a great deal of 

 honey for parties where they have sent me 

 samples and I have sold from the sample, 

 which I will continue to do and will insure 

 prompt payment for all honey on delivery 

 here, and as the prices are low now I would 

 advise patience to all who have honey to s^U 

 as the market is very dull for extracted here. 

 Now, nice box will command 30 cents, and 

 very good sale, and extracted slow at I'l to 1(3 

 |< K>. for good to choice.

Back Volumes. 



Complete sets of back volumes are scarce. 

 But few can l)e procured at any price. We 

 have a set, consisting of the nine volumes 

 (complete), which we offer for sale, either 

 bound or unbound, for a reasonable sum. 

 Many of the numbers we have paid fifty cents 

 each for. to complete them. 



We have several single volumes (complete) 

 which we will send postpaid for |!2.00 each. 



Several volumes, which lack only a single 

 number of being complete, we will send post- 

 paid for $1.50 each. 



Vol. 1, we can supply in cloth boards,"post- 

 paid, for .'$1.25. Bound in paper covers, .$1.00, 

 postage 10 cents. This volume is worth five 

 times its price to any intelligent bee-keeper. 

 It contains a full elucidation of scientific bee- 

 keeping, including the best statement extant 

 of the celebrated Dzierzon theory. These 

 articles run through eight numbers, and ai'e 

 from the pen of the Baron of Berlepsch. 



i^° Beginners in bee-culture, who desire 

 to read up in the literature of ])ee-keeping, 

 are earnestly advised to obtain these back 

 vohnues. Many of our best apiarians say 

 they would not sell their back volumes of the 

 American Bee Jouknai. for ten times the 

 sum they cost, if they could not replace them. 

 They are exceedingly valuable alike to begin- 

 ners and more advanced apiarians. 



We want several copies of No. 1, Vol. 

 2, of the American Bee Joukxal, and will 

 pay 50 cents each for them. 



1^" It will be a source of gratification to us 

 if all those in arrears for the American Bee 

 JoNRNAL will settle the same as soon as pos- 

 sible. Our increasing circulation vastly in- 

 creases our regular monthly expenses for pa- 

 per and printing. "A word to the wise is suf- 

 ficient." 



When a subscriber sends money in pay- 

 ment for tlie Ameiucan Bee Journal, he 

 should state to what time he thinks it pays, 

 so that we can compare it with our books, 

 and thus prevent mistakes. 



The postage on this paper is only t\velve 

 cents a year, if paid (juarterly or yearly iu 

 advance at the post-office where received. 

 We prepay i)ostage to Canada, and reciuire 

 twelve cents extra.
