^:p^ecial ^atices. 



Xo Correspondeuts. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this oflice. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no PostrOfflce, 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. 



A Neiv Crate to hold one dozen one-pound 

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

 each side, 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 cts. per crate. Glass IJic. per light, extra. 



Preiniiini Worth Haring.— The New 

 York World and the American Bee Jour- 

 nal (both weekly) will be sent for one year 

 to any address in North America for $1.90. 

 And in addition PRESENT to every such 

 CLUB SUBSCRIBER a " History of the United 

 States," containing 320 pages and 22 fine en- 

 gravings, bound in leather and gilt. 



This " History " will be sent free by ex- 

 press at the subscriber's expense ; or will 

 be mailed for 10 cents extra to any place in 

 the United States or Canada. 



It is arranged chronologically by years, 

 from 1492 to 1H8.5. Every event is narrated 

 in the order of its date. These are not con- 

 lined, as in other works, to political matters, 

 but embrace every branch of human action. 



This premium is worth the whole of the 

 money sent for both periodicals, and should 

 induce thousands to subscribe, and thus get 

 two unrivalled weeklies for nothing. 



This offer is good only until Jan. 1, 

 1887, hence no time should be lost. Scud 

 at once 1 



Wben Renewins; 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 Hinder for the Bee Journal to any one 

 sending us four subscriptions— with $4.00— 

 direct to this oHice. It will pay any one to 

 <ievote a few hours, to get subscribers. 



Sininiliis' Non-Swarming; System is 



tlie title of a new English bee-book. The 

 author claims that it will inaugurate a " new 

 era in modern bee-kecpIng," and states that 

 "it is based upon purely natural principles, 

 and is the only system that can ever be 

 relied upon, because no other condition 

 exists in the economy of the hive that can 

 be applied to bring about the desired result 

 — a total absence of any desire to swarm." 

 It contains 64 pages ; is well printed and 

 illustrated. Price .'JO cents. It can now be 

 obtained at this office. 



The Report of the Indianapolis Conven- 

 tion is now published in pamphlet form, 

 uniform with that of last year. It will be 

 sent postpaid for 2-") cents to any address. 



We have also bound it up with last year's, 

 together with the History of the Society; 

 this we will mail for 40 cenls. Or if you 

 send us one new subscriber (with one dollar) 

 besides your own renewal, we will present 

 you with a copy by mail.

 the Bees," and the Bee Journal for one 

 year, we win club for $1..50.g-^ i i 



To all Nen' Subscribers for 1887 we 

 will present the rest of the numbers for 

 1886 ; so the sooner they subscribe the more 

 they will get for their money. 



Colored Posters for putting up over 

 honey exhibits at Fairs are quite attractive, 

 as well as useful. We have prepared some 

 for the Bee Journal, and will send two or 

 more free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club. 



Money Orders can now be obtained at 

 the Post Offices at reduced rates. Five 

 dollars and under costs now only 5 cents. 

 As these are absolutely sate, it will pay to 

 get them instead of the Postal Notes which 

 are payable to any one who presents them, 

 and are in no way safe. 



As there 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 commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



The Western World Guide 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 

 his own, with $3.00, for one year, we will 

 present a copy of this valuable book.
