Oct. 15 



Lessons 



BEE-GULTURE 



For $ 1 .00 



As most readers of Gleanings know, Bee-Culture is a most fasci- 

 nating and interesting study: Bee-Keeping a pleasant and profitable 

 occupation. In the Lessons, one of which is sent each week, we 

 give you a practical education in bee-culture. If you are not now a regular reader, 

 send ONE DOLLAR for a year's subscription to The American Bee Journal, the 

 oldest bee-paper published in America, and the paper will be sent to you for the 

 balance of this year and all of 1906. Each issue of the Journal is 

 one of the Lessons in this series, and contains articles by the most 

 successful bee-keepers in the world. Every page is full of helpful 

 hints and wise counsel — a real education for amateur and adept. 



THE 



AMERICAN 

 JOURNAL 



is not only the oldest bee-paper in America but it is one of the best published. 

 It is constantly being improved and made better. The aim and ambition of its 

 publishers is to make it so good that no bee-keeper who expects to succeed will 

 want to be without it. They propose doing this by making it worth many times 

 its cost to subscribers. 52 issues for $1.00 brings it within the reach of all. Some 

 subscribers have said that one issue has proven to be worth a year's cost to them. 



The character and quality of the contents 

 of the American Bee Journal are keynotes 

 to its success and usefulness, and a guide to 

 what its future will be. Its many depart- 

 ments, each conducted by practical writers 

 of national repute, cover every phase of the 

 bee-business. Each issue of the Journal is 

 helpful at the particular time it is published 

 — touching on timely topics, solving the 

 problems and perplexities of the hour. 



The Editor is assisted by a corps of able 

 correspondents whose writings are especial- 

 ly interesting and beneficial to every bee- 

 keeper in the land. "Convention Proceed- 

 ings" are often reported almost verbatim, 

 so that the reader may stay at home and yet 

 enjoy the conventions wherever held. "Our 

 Bee-Keeping Sisters" department is par- 

 ticularly interesting to the gentler sex. 



Many of them are contributors who always 

 have something to say worth reading. 



"Hasty's Afterthoughts" and "Dr. Miller's 

 Question-Box" alone are worth many times 

 the $1 charged for the Journal, while the de- 

 partment, "Reports and Experiences," is so 

 full of news notes that the bee-keeper read- 

 ing each issue keeps posted on the doings of 

 the whole bee world. "Market Quotations" 

 gives the conditions of the prominent mar- 

 kets. "Miscellaneous News Items" covers 

 various subjects and is always interesting.

 to miss a single issue of the American Bee 

 Journal. Send $1.00 by return mail and get
