THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Secure a Choice Queen. 



We now renew our offer to send a choice 

 tested Italian queen as a premium, to 

 any one who will send us five subscribers 

 to the American Bee Journal with 

 $10,00. This premium, which gives a $5.00 

 queen for five subscribers, will pay any 

 one for taking some trouble to extend the 

 circulation of the American Bee Jour- 

 nal. Premium queens will in every case 

 be warranted. 



Barnes' 



Foot-Power Saws for Hive 

 Making. 



A. I. Root, editor of Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture, Medina, Ohio, says, "This ma- 

 chine is one of the brightest illustrations 

 of genuine Yankee ingenuity it has ever 

 been our fortune to meet, and the simpli- 

 city and fewness of its parts are really 

 surprising. With the new and novel foot 

 power, the only wheel there is about the 

 machine, except the saw, can be instantly 

 set humming like a top, and one of the 

 prettiest little saws can be attached to it 

 in little less than a second of time, yet 

 the whole is so extremely simple that 

 even a child can do nice true work at 

 once. At our first attempt we sawed one 

 foot of % in. pine in six seconds. The 

 facilities this machine offers for rapid 

 work, and the way in which labor is 

 saved in its construction, are to us simply 

 marvelous. We thought we did a bright 

 thing when we devised our new extractor 

 gearing, but we will yield the palm to the 

 Barnes Saws." See advertisement.

 so that we can supply Hives of any kind, 

 and in any quantity, on the shortest no-

 ducing.

 delphia. 



E^" The Rev. J. E. Rockwood, of Logan, 

 Iowa, writes us that the Washington 

 Press item published in the May number 

 is a canard. He has interviewed the Rev. 

 H. H. Kellogg, and learned that he bought 

 the farm three or four years ago — and 

 that the price was not $8,000 — and that he 

 has had no communication with Mrs. T. 

 this winter. 



Our Album. — Quite a number have 

 sent on their photographs during the past 

 month, and we have a large Album started

 the collection may be large and interest- 

 ing.

 to bee-keepers are invited to send a sample 

 for exhibition in our office. Send descrip- 

 tion and directions for using, and also 

 give us prices.

 a Postal Card, and say so — and we will 

 stop it instanter. If you do not do this, 

 you may rest assured that it will be sent
