GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTUEE.

PREMIUM RULES. 



Please read these Rules carefully, and thus avoid 



misunderstandings. 



We believe most of our readers appreciate 

 Gi-EANiNGS enough to continue with us without the 

 extra inducement of premiums. These are offered 

 with a view to increasing' our number of readers by 

 the addition of new subscribers. The premiums 

 are intended for those who, by personal effort, se- 

 cure the subscribers. These persons are almost al- 

 ways those .who already read Gleanings, and 

 know what it is. We are g-lad, therefore, to pay you 

 well for your trouble. No premiums ivill be uiven 

 to newsdealers or subscription agents. 1. Both re- 

 newals and new names count toward secui-ing pre- 

 miums, but we require that at least half the 

 names shall be new subscribers. Note also ex- 

 ceptions under different premiums. 



3. No name will be counted for premiums unless 

 it is accompanied by $1.00; and in cases of renew- 

 als, all arrearages, if any, must be paid up, and 

 $1.00 sent for a year in advance— the advance sub- 

 scription only, counting for premium. 



3. You can close your list of names at any time, 

 and call for the premiuns due; or you can add to 

 the list of names. But— 



4. Send along the names as fast as gathered, so 

 that the subscribers may begin to receive the jour- 

 nal at once. No subscriber, under any circum- 



stances, must be received for less than $1.00 per 

 annum. 



lES"Mark every name or list of names, "For 

 Pretniums," if SO intended, and we will credit 

 them to the sender on our premium record. 



.5. lie sure to glre the Xatne, I'ostofjice, Count;/, 

 iiuil State, ofeacli, .subscriber niiil of yourself . 



6. All sample copies necessary to canvassers 

 will be sent postpaid free. 



8. When you order your premiums, be sure to 

 state HOW TO send, and if by mail do not forget the 

 postage. 



7. To Foreign Readers. To all foieign coun- 

 tries in the Postal Union, 18 cts. must accompany 

 subscription for postage, and to all other foreign 

 countries, 43 cts. 



How to Send Money: Send money by P. O. 

 order, registered letter, express money-order, on 

 American Express Co., or get a N. Y. di-aft. For 

 small sums of less than .f 1.00, we will accept clean 

 postage-stamps, but we prefer postal-notes, but 

 can not be responsible for the loss of either.

75-Cent Books for 30 Cts. 



Any one ol" tlie lollowlnsj 75-ceiit books given lor one new name, with $1.00, and 10 cts. 

 to pay postage. Sent postpaid for 40 cts. each, or by freight or express with other goods at 30 cts. 

 each. This is the lowest price at which these books were ever retailed. 



There are quite a number of editions of these 



12mo cloth-bound popular authors put on the 

 market by different publishers. The " Alta Edi- 

 tion," shown in the adjoining cut, is the best one. 

 It has the clearest type, and is printed on the best 

 paper of any; is well bound in cloth, title in gilt, on 

 back. Each book has a silk ribbon book-mark. We 

 can buy other editions a little cheaper, but we have 

 decided to handle only the Alta Edition. You will 

 find these books on sale in stores throughout the 

 country at prices ranging from 3.5 to 50 cts. each. 

 Publishers' price is 75 ets. each, postpaid. Youth's 

 Companion asks 50 cts. each, postage extra. Some 

 catalogues put them as low as 45 cts. postpaid, and 

 you don't often get the Alta Edition, but one not 

 so good, in its binding, printing, and quality of 

 paper. Our price is only 40 cts. postpaid; 30 cts, 

 when sent with other goods by express or freight, 

 or given for one new subscriber. There are very 

 few readers of Gleanings who can not secure a 

 new subscriber among their neighbor bee-keepers, 

 and they will not only extend our list, but can se- 

 cure one of these books free. You will notice ip 

 this list, Dickens' works complete, in 15 volumes, 

 30 cts. each, or only $4 .50 for the set. Macaulay's 

 History of England, in 5 vols., at 30 cts. $1.50. 1 don't 

 believe you ever heard of such prices. The number 

 of pages varies from 300 to oyer flOO m eaph.
