Please write names and post-office ad-

 some other office.

 Italian queen as a premium, to any one 

 who will send us Jive subscribers to the 

 American Bee Journal, with $10.00. 

 This premium, which gives a f5.00 queen 

 for five subscribers, will pay any one for 

 taking some trouble to extend the circula- 

 tion of the American Bee Journal. 

 Premium queens will in every case be 

 warranted.

 ers and $4, in advance, we will send post- 

 paid, a copy of A. J. Hill's work on 

 "Chicken Cholera," as a premium. See 

 his advertisement in this number. Those

 when sending their subscriptions.

 to bee-keepers are invited to send a sam- 

 ple for exhibition in our office. Send de-

 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 

 on regularly. Let all "take due notice 

 and govern themselves accordingly." 



Send Tostage Stamps: — As silver 

 takes the place of fractional currency, 

 and sometliing convenient to enclose in 

 letteis l\)r small amounts is needed, we 

 suggest post;ige stamps of 1 cent and 3 

 cent denominations. If folded carefully 

 to about tlie size of the envelope, they 

 will come even more securely than cur- 

 rency, and our business demanding large 

 amount I of .slumps, will render thnn as 

 acceptable to us as fractional currency.
