Send 10 cts. and get that 

 number and three others 

 of different dates ; but, 

 better yet, send $1.00 

 and get the old American 

 Bee Journal every week 

 for a whole year. It will 

 be a good investment. 

 Address the publishers. 



The Weekly American Bee Journal for Febru- 

 ary 23, 1905, will be a 



Double : Number 



and will contain a long illustrated article by 

 P. H. Elwood, giving- a biographical sketch of 

 the late Captain J. E. Hetherington, of New 

 York State, the most extensive bee-keeper in 

 the world. It tells in detail about his start 

 with bees, and how he managed the work. It 

 reads like fiction, and yet is all true. The 

 pictures show Capt. H. ; his first and last load 

 of bees ; old and new wintering-cellar ; home 

 bee yard ; square-cornered straw hives ; the 

 sword that saved his life, and a picture of 

 himself in soldier uniform. . . The 



Ontario Convention Report 



also occupies a number of pages of the issue 

 for Feb. 23. There are besides, articles by 

 Prof. Cook, G. M. Doolittle, C. P. Dadant, and 

 F. Greiner. All the other departments are 

 well sustained. It is a copy that will be read 

 and preserved by any bee-keeper who gets it. 

 Better send in your 10 cents at once and be 

 sure to have this special number, as only a 

 limited extra edition will be published, and 

 orders will be filled in rotation. When the 

 extra edition is exhausted no more can be had.
