THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Secure a Choice Queen. 



We have now renewed our offer to send 

 a choice tested Italian queen as a premium 

 to any one who will send us four subscrib- 

 ers to The American Bee Jouhnal with 



p.oo. 



This premium, which gives a .1?5.00 queen 

 for four subscribers, will pay any one for 

 taking some trouble to extend the circula- 

 tion of the Journal. Premium queens will 



in every case be warranted.

l^'By an advertisement in this issue of 



the American Bee Journal, it will be 



noticed that A. Kernberger, has succeeded 



to the business of Baumeister & Co., honey 



dealers in Chicago.

The Medley.— From A. I. Boot & Co., 

 we have received one of their beautiful col- 

 lections of the friends of the honey-bee, 

 called The Medley. Its size is 10x14 inches 

 and contains some 150 photographs with 

 names attached. In the centre are the 

 likenesses of Mr. Langfetroth and Mr. Quin- 

 by, surrounded by all the lesser luminaries. 

 We believe that Mr. Boot sells them at .fl.OO 

 each, and they are well worth it. 



..^^ . , _ acknowlege a copy of the beauti- 

 ful engraving of Mr. M. Quiuby, from J. 11. 

 Nellis & Bro., Canajoharrie, New York. 

 It is advertised in another column. Every 

 bee-keeper should have one. Mr. Q. was 

 one of the most reliable writers on apicul- 

 ture in this century. 



lE^^We lately had occasion to call at Mr. 

 C. O. Perrine's honey house, and noticed the 

 apparent large increase in his business du- 

 ring the past six months. He has added 

 several rooms to his honey store house, un- 

 til he now occupies fourteen thousand square 

 feet of flooring, and has handled $30,000 

 worth of honey in the past year. We are 

 glad to note this, as Mr. P. was almost ruined 

 by the great fire of 1871. 



To Whom it may Concern.— Mrs. Tup- 

 per has received at different times through 

 this office, in the years of 1873-4, imported 

 bees and (lueens from Italy, to the care of 

 the United States Express Co., at New 

 York, and they have come through in ap- 

 parent good order. W. II. Quif k,

,v3s. ' We have received from J. F. Erwin, a 

 guide for a straight comb, which is a iier- 

 fect thing. Nothhig more need be attemnt- 

 ed in this line ; tlie entl is gained, and by 

 the use of this, coiiibs may always he se- 

 cured straight. We uiKhTstaiid that the 

 device is patented. This Is as it should be. 

 How cheaply it can be allorded, or, indeed, 

 how it is made, we have no idea, but if jNIr. 

 Ervin expects to introduce his guide, he 

 will give us iiarticulars in an advertisemi nt 

 iu the Journal.

Honey Extractors- 



Not being quite satisfied with the frame 

 and style of honey extractors, heretofore 

 ottered for sale, 1 iuive invented for my own 

 use, a machine, which, after two ytnxrs ot 

 trial, satisfies me in every respi'ct. i have 

 made a few for my bee-keeping neighbors, 

 and they are so well pleased with them, that 

 1 am induced to ofi;er them for sale. 31 .y ex- 

 tractor is an open side, 1( w honey receptacle 

 and geared machine. A single iron rod 

 stands in the center, and around this rod the 

 (•()u>l)s revolve. It is all of metal, well made 

 runs very light, andis strong aiuUlurable.
