THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



"Money in the Apiary."— Such is the 

 title of a iiractieal little work just issued. 

 All who wish to make the most money out 

 of their bees should send 25 cents for a copy 

 to Herbert A. Burcli, South Haven, Mich. 

 See advertisement in another column. 



I use an article that never fails to subdue 

 bees while I work among them. One ounce 

 is enough for ten years issue. Those who 

 wish to know anything about it should 

 write me. I will trade for Italian bees.

To Whom it may Concekn.— Mrs. Tup- 

 per has received at different times through 

 this office, in the years of 1873-i imported 

 bees and queens from Italy, to the care of 

 the United States Express Co., at New 

 York, and they have come through in appar- 

 ent good order. W. II. Quick,

We have received a sample of friend 

 Muth's one and two jiound green glass 

 square Honey Jars. They are very nicely 

 made, and have a "hive" and "Pure 

 " Honey " moulded in the glass, besides be- 

 ing labeled. The cork and tin foil are of the 

 best quality, and the cap is also stamped 

 " Warranted IJest Quality." They are very 

 nice, and our readers will do well to get 

 them for retailing and creating home mar- 

 kets for their honey.

The American Newspaper Direc- 

 tory is an epitome of newspaper history. 

 It is also regarded as an official register of 

 circulations. This feature, re(Hiires the 

 closest scrutiny to prevent it from leading 

 to abuses. The plan, adopted by the pub- 

 lishers of the DiRKCTORY, to secure correct 

 and trustwortliy rei)()rts, is rigid in its re- 

 (luiretiients ami adhered to with impartial- 

 ity. Successful iiublisiiers wbo have some- 

 thing to gain by a c()mi)arison, are generally 

 prompt, not only to send reports in con- 

 formity but give Messrs. Oeorge P. Rowell 

 &('(). snch iuforuiation as enables them to 

 weed out iinsubstantiiiti'd statements of pre- 

 tenders in jounialisin. The |>opiilarity of 

 the book, ond the general contidence in its 

 accuracy and good faith are attested by the 

 immense body of advertisements it receives. 



Back Volumes. 



Complete sets of back volumes are scarce. 

 But few can be 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 tiiem. 



We have several single volumes (complete) 

 which we will send postpaid for $2.00 each. 



Several volumes, which lack only a single 

 number ot l)eing complete, we will send post- 

 paid for $1.50 each. 



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

 paid, for f 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 tlieory. These 

 articles run through eight numbers, and are 

 from the pen of the Baron of Berlepsch. 



iW Beginners in bee-culture, who desire 

 to read up in the literature of bee-keeping, 

 are earnestly advised to obtain these back 

 volumes. Many of our best apiarians say 

 they would not sell their back voknnes of the 

 American Bee Journal for ten tiuu^s tlie 

 .sum they cost, if they could not replace them. 

 They are exceedingly valuable alike to be- 

 giners and more advanced apiarians.
