 the book. " Bees and Honey," may be found

To Correspondents. — 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 post- 

 oIEce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



" Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 Ions about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : " This 

 lias been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 \'enient for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 , this month ; hut don't stop sendmg it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so. 



The Time for Readin;; has now come. 

 The long winter evenings can be utilized by 

 reading up bee-literature. We have all the 

 newest bee-books and can fill all orders on 

 the day they are received. 



Preserve your papers for reference. 

 If you have no BINDER we will mail you 

 one tor 7.5 cents, or you can have one free 

 If you will send us 4 new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journal. 



When Reneiviug your subscription 

 please try to get your neighbor who keeps 

 bees to join with you in taking the Bee 

 JOURN.IL. It is now SI) cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bek Journal to any one 

 sending us four subscriptions — with $4.00— 

 direct to this office. It ivlll pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers.

Tlie Guide and Hand-Booli, is a book 

 of ready reference and an encyclopaedia of 

 everything desirable to know. As a guide 

 to the home-seeker, it is invaluable. Its con- 

 tents are partially given on page 48, and 

 will convince any one of its value. We do 

 not think any of our readers can afford to 

 do without it. As a book of ready reference 

 we find it of great value in our library. We 

 will send the Weekly Bee Journal for a 

 vear and the Guide for S1.30 



Many Tlianlcs are due to our friends for 

 sending us so many neiv subscribers, when 

 renewing their own subscriptions. The 

 reduced price for 18S*i has caused quite " a 

 boom," and is a popular move in every sense 

 of that word. As we do not wish any one 

 to work for nothing, we have concluded to 

 offer premiums for new subscribers for 1886, 

 for in order to compensate for the reduction 

 of our price to SI. 00, we should at least 

 thrihble our present subscription list. 



For 1 neiu subscriber for a year (besides your 

 own renewal) we will present you either 

 of the following books— 25 cents each. 



For 2 new subscribers— any 2 of the books. 



For 3 new subscribers — all 3 of them; or the 

 Western World Guide & Hand-book.

Look Within for 5,000 facts wh'.ch every one

 and art, and covers a wide range of subjects.

 novelist, contributes a short story, "A 

 Match-making Scheme ;" Brander Mat- 

 thews, the standard dramatic authority,

 attractive serial entitled "Daughters of 

 Cain." laying the scenes in cultured Boston 

 and the cattle ranges of the West. Henry 

 R. Dorr, of a family of writers, tells of 

 "Bermuda," tempting readers to visit 

 "storm ve.xed Bermoothes." Miss Lily 

 Higgin, a favorite with American readers,

 land." Noel Ruthveu tells the story of 

 "Opera in New York;" Vernon Lee gives

THE VICTOR HIVE 



Is pronounced by competent apiarists to be the 

 Best Hive for comb honey. It is operated on 

 a new principle, the passage-ways being contin- 

 uous through perforated zinc to the sections. Our 

 dovetailed White Poplar Sections, with or without 

 side passages, cannot be excelled in accuracy or 

 smoothness. They are as nearly perfect as can be 

 made. Sample of the new Bections for li one-cent 

 stamps. Catalogue on application.
