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 lettors 

 (some inclosin;? money) that have no name; 

 many others having: no Post-Office, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post- 

 office 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 

 to lis about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : " This 

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

 venient for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut doti't stop ticuding it. I will 

 gret 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. 



TVlien renewing subscriptions please send 

 an extra name or two with your own and 

 secure a premium. We have some colored 

 Posters, which we will send tTiEE, to put 

 up in conspicuous places. We will with 

 pleasure send sample copies to any one who 

 will try to get up a club. 



Pre»6rTe your papers for reference. 

 If you have no BINDER we will mail you 

 one tor 7."> cents, or you can have one free 

 if you will send us 4 new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journal. 



t^" Our rates for two or more copies of 

 the hook, " Bees and Honey," may be found 

 on the Book List on the second page of this 

 paper. Also wholesale rates on all books 

 where they are purchased " to sell again."

 24 cents per pound for good, average, yellow

System and Success. 



^P~ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For .')0 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (t3:iO pages) 12.5 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 1-50 



The larger ones can be used tor a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



To any One sending us one new sub- 

 scriber with their own renewal (with $2.00), 

 we will present a copy of the new " Con- 

 vention History of America." 



The Time lor Reading has now come.
