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 ofllce. We have several letters 

 (some Inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-OBfice, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one postr 

 ofBce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Dr. miller's Book, " A Tear Among 

 the Bees," and the Bee Jouknai, for one 

 year, we will club for $1.50. 



A New Crate to hold one dozen one-pound 

 sections of honey.— It has a strip of glass on 

 each Bide, to allow the honey to be seen. It 

 is a light and attractive package. As it holds 

 but one tier of sections, no damage from the 

 drippings from an upper tier can occur. We 

 can furnish the material, ready to nail, for 

 9 ots. per crate. Glass 13ic. per light, extra. 



Yucca Bruslies are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable fiber, and do not irritate the 

 l>ee8. As each separate fiber extends the 

 whole length of the handle as well as the 

 brush, they are almost indestructable. 

 When they become sticky with honey, they 

 can be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any bee-keeper to have six or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 handy. We can supply them at .5 cents 

 each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 ttrtd 1 cent each for postage

HONEY —There Is a firmer market for extrac- 

 ted, and especially for comb honey, aa the crop 

 of the latter is rather small. Apiarists have sold

 back at higher prices. The demand is increasing, 

 and we qmtte with ready takers, 4@4^c. for choice 

 extracted ; 3^f*39ic. for amber extracted ; and 

 H@llc. for comb faoney in 2-lb. sections ; 12Cftl3c.

ts To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets " Why Eat 

 Honey" (only ."lO cents per 100), or else the- 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them plentifully, and the result 

 will be a DEMAND for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the following prices : 



Single copy, 5 cts. ; per doz., 40 eta. ; per 

 hundred, $2.50. Five hundred will be sent 

 postpaid for 810.00; or 1,000 for $15,00. 

 On orders of 100 or more, we will print, if 

 desired, on the cover-page, " Presented by,'* 

 etc. (giving the name and address of the bee- 

 keeper who scatters them). 



To give away a copy of " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine " to every one who buys a 

 package of honey, will sell almost any quan- 

 tity of it. 



System and Success, 



l^~ 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 reduced, as follows : 



For .50 colonies (120 pages) $100 



" 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 on& 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



Red Isabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4 !4 inches. — We have just 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : lOO 

 for $1.00 : 250 for $1.. 50 ; 500 for $2 00 : 1,000 

 for $a.00 ; all with name and address of 

 apiatist printed on them— by mail, postpaid. 



tST" Sweet Clover, or Melihitus Alba, is 

 almost the only resource for honey now, 

 on account of the late severe July drouth. 

 If the seed is planted in September, it will 

 come up this Fall and bloom next year, in 

 its second season. 



Wo have a large lot of this seed on hand, 

 and offer it at the following Reduced 

 Prices, by express or freight : 



One pound $0 20 



" peck— 15lbs 2 25 



" bushel— 60 lbs 7 00 



" sack— 80 lbs 8 00 



It will pay to buy it by the sack and Bell It 

 again in smaller quantities. 



^S~ If you want a chance to make some 

 money, and provide pasturage for the bees- 

 during the Fall months, this is your oppor- 

 tunity 1 



The Convention History orAmerlca 



and the American Bee Journal for ono 

 year, will be clubbed for $1.15. 



As tliere is Another firm in Chicago by 

 the name of " Newman & Son," we wish our 

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " on the envelope when writing to 

 this office. Several letters of ours have- 

 already gone to the other firm (a commis- 

 sion house), causing vexatious delay and 

 trouble.
