Special Uoticcs, 



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 fnoney) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Office, County 

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

 oflBce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



A Ne^v Crate to hold one dozen one-pound 



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

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

 is a life'ht and attractive pacltage. 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 cts. per crate. Glass l^c per light, extra.

TO OUR READERS. 



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 no cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bee JonuNAX. to any one 

 sending us four subscriptions— with $4.00— 

 direct to this office. It ivill pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers. 



We cannot too strongly urge upon 

 our readers the necessity of subscrib- 

 ing for a family weelily newspaper of 

 the first class — such, for instance, as 

 The Independent, of New York. 

 Were we obliged to select one publi- 

 cation for habitual and careful read- 

 ing to the exclusion of all others, we 

 should choose unhesitatingly The 

 Independent. It is a newspaper, 

 magazine, and review, all in one. It 

 is a religious, a literary, an educa- 

 tional, a story, an art, a scientific, an 

 agricultural, a Huancial, and a politi- 

 cal paper combined. It has 32 folio 

 pages and 21 departments. No mat- 

 ter what a person's religion, politics 

 or profession may be, no matter what 

 the age, sex, employment or condi- 

 tion may be. The Independent will 

 prove a help, an instructor, an educa- 

 tor. Our readers can do no less than 

 to send a postal for a free specimen 

 copy, or for 30 cents the paper will be 

 sent a month, enabling one to judge 

 of its merits more critically. Its 

 yearly subscription is S3, or two years 

 for$5. Address, The Independent, 

 251 Broadway, New York City. 



Our Boole Premiums.— To encourage 

 all our pi'esent readers to get oue or more 

 additional subscribers we will present 25 

 cents' worth of books for every new sub- 

 scriber (accompanied with :^1 for one year's 

 subscription), sent direct to this office. Thus 

 for Ave new subscribers %Tith $5, the getter 

 up of a club gets $1.25 in valuable reading 

 matter, to be selected by himself from our 

 list on the second page of this paper. It 

 will pay you to devote a few hours to the 

 interests of the Bee Journal. Every one 

 who keeps bees ought to take it. We will 

 furnish sample copies /ree in any quantity 

 to those who intend to get up clubs. We 

 ex.pect to get 5,000 new subscribers for 1887. 



V^~ Sweet Clover, or Melilntus Alba, is 

 almost the only resource for honey now, 

 on account of the late sevei-e July drouth. 

 If the seed is planted in September, it will 

 come up this Fall and bloom next year, in 

 its second season. 



We 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— 1.51bs 2 25

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

 again in smaller quantities.

 money, and provide pasturage for the bees 

 during the Fall months, this is your oppor- 

 tunity !
