GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



April 15. 



$5 for only $1! 



Some one, 



we believe, has said that, to subscribe 

 for all the bee-papers, would cost §5 ; 

 and that just one paper, costing a 

 dollar a year, would be sufficient pro- 

 vided that paper contained, besides 

 its regular matter, the cream of all 

 the other bee-papers. Well, that one 

 paper, of course, is the AMERICAN 

 BEE JOURNAL. Not because we pub- 

 lish it do we say this, but because a 

 good many people believe it comes 

 nearest beinjj the truth. 



Now, 



we never have advised taking only 

 one bee-paper ; but we are willing to 

 say that, if you can afford to subscribe 

 for only one, it should be the old 

 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, which is is- 

 sued weekly, and is always crowded 

 with the best bee-information. 



i 



( We know 



its editor doesn't know everything ; 

 he hasn't produced 100,000 tons of 

 honey ; he hasn't kept bees a whole 

 century ; he isn't acquainted with all 

 the bte keepers now living or who 

 ever lived ; in fact, he's just a little, 

 plain, hard-working fellow who tries 

 to get up a good bee-journal every 

 week in the year, and he thinks he 

 succeeds. That's all. 



If you want 



to see a copy of the AMERICAN BEE 

 JOURNAL, send us your name and ad- 

 dress on a postal card ; or, if you want 

 a good big ' ' taste "of it send us 10 

 cents (in stamps or silver) and we 

 will mail you 13 different numbers 

 that have been issued this year. That 

 means a " trial trip" of three months 

 for only io cents. How about it ? 

 Hadn't you better write us at once? 

 We believe you will do «>.

I wish to announce to my friends and patrons 

 that I have this day sold to C H W. Weber, of 

 Cincinnati, my honey and bee-keepers' supply 

 business, known for the past 38 years as Chas. 

 F. Muth & Son. Mr. Weber will continue to 

 keep on hand at the old stand a full line of 

 Langstroth hives. He has also secured the 

 agency for Mr. Root's goods, of which he will 

 carry a complete stock I beg the customers 

 of the old house, to whom I wish to extend my 

 thanks, to continue their patronage with Mr. 

 Weber, by whom I am sure they will be ac- 

 corded fair and honest treatment.
