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 othce. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others ha\ing no Post>Office, County 

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

 offlce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



"When Renewing your subscription 

 please try to get your neighbor who keeps 

 bees to join with you in taking the Bee 

 Journal. It is now so cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bee Joornal to any one 

 sending us four subscriptions— with $4.00— 

 direct to this office. It ^vill pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers. 



The AVestern "World Cuide and Hand- 

 Book of Useful Information, contains the 

 greatest amount of useful information ever 

 put together in such a cheap form. The 

 printing, paper, and binding are excellent, 

 and the book is well worth a dollar. To any 

 one sending us two new) subscribers besides 

 their own, with $3, for one year, we will 

 present a copy of this valuable book.

 a Postal Card for it. 



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

 to us about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : " This 

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

 Tenientforme to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; but don't stop sending it. 1 will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present w'e have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so.

and the American Bee Journal for one 

 year, will be clubbed for $l.ir>.
