 the Journal for a year free. Do not 

 forget that it will pay to devote a few 

 hours to the Bee Journal. 



i the Chicago meeting of the Na- 

 tional Society we were requested to get 

 photographs of the leading apiarists, to 

 sell to those who wanted them. We can 

 now supply the following at 25 cents 

 each : Dzierzon, the Baron of Ber- 

 lepsch, and Langstroth. The likeness 

 of Mr. Langstroth we have copied, is one 

 furnished by his daughter, who says, 

 " it is the only one ever taken when he 

 was in good health and spirits." We 

 are glad to be able to secure one of such 

 a satisfactory nature. 



^" Sample copies of the Weekly 

 Bee Journal will be sent free to any 

 names that may be sent in. Any one 

 intending to get up a club can have 

 sample copies sent to the persons they 

 desire to interview, by sending the 

 names to this office. 



8^" It would save us much trouble, if 

 all would be particular to give their P.O. 

 address and name, when writing to 

 this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no 

 name. Many others having no Post- 

 office, County or State. Also, if you 

 live near one postoffice and get your 

 mail at another, be sure to give the ad- 

 dress we have on our list.

 the back numbers to new subscribers.

 soon.
