CIHCULARS BECEIVED. 



The following have sent us their price lists: 



J. B. Batcheliler, Keene, N. H., an advertising thcet of the 

 BatchtlJer drone-trap. 



J. J. Hulbert, Lyndon, 111., a U page cinular of bee-supplies 

 in general. 



Thos. L Thornton, Dividing Ridge, Ky., a 6page price list of 

 apiarian supplies. 



J. R. Landes, Albion, Ohio, a 4-page circular— specialty, tees, 

 queens, and poultry. 



Will Ellis, St. Davids, Out, Can., apiarian implements and a 

 specialty of fine comb fdii. Will Ellis has obtained the flist 

 prize on foundation at the Lindon Western Fair, and first and 

 second ijrize on foundation an the Toronto Industrial Exhibi- 

 tion. This fdn. was made from one of our make of mills, and 

 tlu' friends w.l do well to bear this in mind when in need of a 

 (■onib-iiiill. 



1 am being asked my opinion of the new circulars Mrs. Cot- 

 ton is again sending oiit quite plentifully. The statements she 

 makes, and the prices she charges for the goods she sends out, 

 would, in my opinion, forbid her being classed with our regu- 

 lar supply-dealers, to say nothing of the strings of complaints 

 against her that have filled our bee-journals tor years past. 



REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF BEES AND QUEENS 

 FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. 



Just before noing to press.— The season is so ex- 

 tremely favorable for the production of bees and 

 queens that we have decided, besides the offer men- 

 tioned on page 436, to make the prices of bees and 

 queens, after the first of June, at July prices.
