HONE Y— Being now between seasons, there is not 

 much changing hands in honey. Stocks are small, 

 ami in many cases held at a limit above buyers 

 views, in anticipation of improved prices later on. 

 The first consignments of new will probably not ar- 

 rive before the middle of June. A shipment of 556 

 cases and 174 bbls, representing previous purchases, 

 went forward to Liverpool this week. We quote

Wire Nails. Books for Bee-Keepers. 



There being considerable demand for wire nails, I 

 have concluded to carry a stock of them, and can All 

 orders for any quantity promptly. For nailing Sec- 

 tions, Cases, Frames, Racks, Crates, &c, they have 

 become quite popular. 



The entire length of the nail being the same thick- 

 ness, they never loosen as ordinary Iron nails will, 

 and are not as liable to bend or break. 



From the assortment of lengths given In the table 

 below, any kind of nailing may be done with these 

 nails, even to making large boxes. 



A Safe and Sure Means of restoring the 

 youthful color of the hair is furnished 

 by Parker's Hair Balsam, which is de- 

 servedly popular from its superior clean- 

 liness. lSw4t

gg"At 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. 



^" 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 

 li"e near one postoffice and get your 

 mail at another, be sure to give the ad- 

 dress we have on our list. 



Food for the Brain and Nerves that will 

 invigorate the body without intoxica- 

 ting, is what we need in these days of 

 rush and worry. Parker's Ginger Tonic 

 restores the vital energies, soothes the 

 nerves and brings good health quicker 

 than anything you can use. — Tribune. 

 See other column. 18w4t 



®" Quite often we receive a rather 

 uncourteous letter because the Bee 

 Journal is discontinued when the 

 time is out that has been paid for. We 

 try to please all our subscribers, but it 

 is not an easy task for us to determine 

 who does and who does not want it 

 so continued. So we must ask to be in- 

 formed on the subject. The following 

 letter is just received and is just the 

 kind of a notice we wish all would send 

 who desire to have it sent without in- 

 termission. We then put this mark, || 

 after the name on the wrapper label, 

 and whtfn so marked do not stop send- 

 ing the Journal until we receive an 

 order from the subscriber to do so. 



" Please continue my Journal right 

 along ; if I do not send the money on 

 the day it runs out I do not want you to 

 stop it, for I want every number as soon 

 as it is published. I will send you the 

 money just as soon as I can make it 

 convenient to go to the post office to 

 get a money order. W. C." 



Now, if all who desire it so continued 

 would drop us a postal card, or men- 

 tion it when they are sending a remit- 

 tance, it would save us much trouble 

 and themselves the annoyance of having 

 the Journal stopped. 



With this number several hundreds 

 of subscriptions expire, and we hope 

 all will renew at once or else send us 

 notice by return mail if they desire its 

 continued visits.
