System and Success. 



^^~ 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 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



** 100 colonies (220 pages) 125 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 150 



The larger ones can be used for 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. 



^~ Sample Copies of the Bee Journal 



will be sent free upon application. Any one 

 intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview by sending the names to this office, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



Preserve yonr papers for reference. 

 If you have no BINDEK we will mail you 

 one for 73 cents, or you can have one free 

 if you will send us 4 new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journal. 



There will be a Rnsb for supplies 

 needed in the apiary after awhile, and we 

 cannot do better than to urge all to look 

 over their stock, ascertain what will be 

 needed, and get it on hand before it is nec- 

 essary for use— thus avoiding the perplexity 

 consequent upon its possible delay In reach- 

 ing them in time.'
