Connecticut. — The 16th annual conven- 

 tion of the Connecticut Bee Keepers' Asso- 

 ciaaion will be held in the State Capitol, 

 Hartford, room 50, on Saturday, April 6, 1907. 

 We believe that every wide-awake apiarist in 

 the State knows that our Association is un- 

 selfishly seeking to assist and protect the bee- 

 keepers in every way possible. During the 

 past few months apiculture has probably been 

 more generally discussed than at any other 



period in the history of the State, because of 

 our attempt to secure proper bee-disease legis- 

 lation. Bee-keeping now, as never before, is 

 regarded as an important agricultural indus- 

 try in Connecticut, and our Assaciation pro- 

 poses to continue its campaign of education. A 

 lengthy program has been prepared for the 

 next meeting, and it is expected that several 

 noted speakers will be present. Every bee- 

 keeper is cordially invited to attend. Please 

 bring choice samples of honey, or anything 

 of interest, for the apiarian exhibit. Mem- 

 bership in the Association is but 50 cents a 

 year. We want 500 new members. Please 

 make remittances to the undersigned before 

 the date of the meeting, and be sure to come 

 yourself. J. Abthur Smith, Sec. 



Box 38, Hartford, Conn. 



Utah. — The Utah Bee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion will hold its spring convention in the 

 Mayor's office in the City and County Build- 

 ing, April 5, at 10 a.m. A revision of the bee- 

 protection law, reports on the smelter settle- 

 ment, and other questions of interest will be 

 taken up. All are cordially invited,

NOVELTY POCKET-KNIFE 



(Name and Address on one side— Tliree Bees on the other side.) 



Your Name on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to say 

 just what name and address you wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the 

 handle. It is made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as 

 transparent as glass. Underneath the celluloid, on one side of the 

 handle is placed the name and residence of the owner, and on the 

 other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very 

 best quality ; the blades are hand-forged out of the very finest English 

 razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. It will last a life-time, with 

 proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knile? — In ease a good knife is lost, 

 the chances are the owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty" 

 is lost, having name and address of owner, the finder will return it. 

 It traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so 

 fortunate as to have one of the "Novelties," your Pocket-Knipe will 

 serve as an identifier; and, in case of death, your relatives will at once 

 be notified of the accident. 



How to Get this Valuable Knile.— We send it postpaid for 

 $1.25, or club the Novelty Knife and the American Bee Journal for one 

 year — both for $2.00. (Allow two weeks for Knife order to be filled.)

We have a subscription publication 

 which sells more reiidily than Hny of the 

 above. The demund is alreudy so tre- 

 mendous that more capital is required to 

 swing it. or get liehind on orders. Profits 

 are enormous, several times savings bank 

 interest. 



We have arranged a plan whereby 



Any Progressive Man or Woman 

 Can Share These Profits 



becoming stockholders in a profitable 

 business, based on twenty years' experi- 

 ence. Remember, the success of this publi- 

 oiition is not awu.v off in the future— it is 

 not prospective. I'Ut it is a success at the 

 present time and growing in demand 

 every hour. Sales of this publication at

This is an exceptional opportunity for 

 those of small means to get in on the 

 ground floor in a business which legiti- 

 mately pays large dividends and is as 

 Bolid as the R<^ek of Gibraltar. It cannot 

 be held open for long as the response is 

 certain to be so great that we shall 

 have all the capital we need to increase 

 the number of <nir presses and secure 

 stock to be turned out in completed 

 books, which are selling like wildfire. 



You owe it to yourself to investigate 

 this opportunity. You will never have a 

 a chance like this again to become

which is already in successful operation, 

 already earning I'ig dividends.and which 

 IB led to sell a small amount of its stock 

 eimply because the business is already so 

 tremendous as to exhaust the working 

 capital. But if \nu would grasp this op- 

 portunity you must
