OLDEST BEE-PAPER ,n AMERICA -...^^ ^rite for it. 



We have arranged with an expert short-hand reporter to " take do^rn," for the American Bee Journal, the 

 proceedings of the Omaha convention of the United States Bee-keepers' Union, to be held Sept. 1.3, 14, and 1.5. 

 Every bee-keeper in the world will want to read that 1 eport, even if he has attended the meeting. In order 

 that the readers of Gleanings (who do not now get our paper) may read that report, and also get acquainted 

 with the Bee Journal, we want to make them the fiallowing 



Three Big Offers. 



No. 1.— Send us $l.oo, and get the eld American Bee Journal from July i, 1898, to the end of 1899—78 cop- 

 ies for only Si. 00 ! 

 No. 2. — Or send us 30 cents, and get the American Bee Journal the last 6 months of 1898—26 copies for 



only 30 cents ! 

 No. 3. — Or send us 20 cents, and we will mail you the American Bee Journal from the time we receive the 2o 

 cents to the end of 1898. .So the sooner you order, the more 3'ou will get on this third ofTer. 

 Offers No, 1 and No. 2 will be good only as long as we can furnish the back numbers since July 1, which 

 will likely be about Oct. 1. Remember that if you get all the numbers since July 1, you will have the nine arti- 

 cles complete on " Profitable Bee-keeping; or. Hints to Beginners," written by C. N. White, one of England's 

 best bee-keepers. 



If you wish, send first for a free sample copy; but we don't see how you can afford not to accept oiif of the 

 three offers above.
