^p^ecial Notices. 



Xo Correspondents. — 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 nave several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offloe, County 

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

 offlce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



A New 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 

 Sets, per crate. Glass IJic. per light, extra. 



Premium Wortlk Having. — The New 



Yorli World and the American Bee Jodr- 

 NAx, (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 SOBSCKIDEH a " Hlstory of the United 

 States," containing .'120 pages and 2"2 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 liirl to 1885. Every e\-ent is narrated 

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

 fined, 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. Send 

 fit once I 



When Kenewins your subscription 

 please try to get j'our neighbor who keeps 

 bees to join with you in taking the Bee 

 JotJRNAL. It is now 8o cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 fl Binder for the Bee Journal to any one 

 Bending us four subscriptions— with $4.00— 

 direct to this office. It tvlll pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers. 



Siminin»' Non-Snrarniing System is 



the title of a new English bee-book. The 

 author claims that it will inaugurate a " new 

 era in modern bee-keeping," 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 50 cents. It can now be 

 obtained at this oflice. 



To all IVeiv 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. 



Red Isabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4% inches. — We have just 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices ; 100 

 for $1.00 ; 250 for$1.50 ; 500 for $2.00 ; 1,000 

 for $.'^.00 ; all with name and address of 

 apiarist printed on them — by mail, postpaid. 



Money Orders can now be obtained at 

 the Post OHices at reduced rates. Five 

 dollars and under costs now only 5 cents. 

 As these are absolutely safe, 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. 



tSS~ 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. 



Tlie Western AVorld 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. 



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 oflice. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



In these Dayx, when out-door sports are 

 so generally cultivated, many will read the 

 article " Why we Canoe," by W. P. Stephens, 

 in the December number of Frank Leslie's 

 Popular Monthly, and some at least will 

 be tempted to try an amusement so exhil- 

 arating and attractive. " A Winter in 

 Jamaica" is a sketch of West India travel, 

 very prettily told, and like the other articles 

 in the number, well and attractively illus- 

 trated. Arthur Dudle3' Vinton tells the 

 story of "North American Earthquakes." 

 "The Fisher-girl of Grand Menan," "Two 

 Inspirations," " Shadow or Substance ?" and 

 other stories in this magazine, justify its 

 title of the " Popular Monthly." 



Home Market for Honey. 



^P~ To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets " Why Eat 

 Honey " (only 50 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 cts. ; per 

 hundred, $2.50. Five hundred will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00; 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). 



Xo 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. 



Dr. Miller's Book, " A Year Among 

 the Bees," and the Bee Journal for one 

 year, we will club for $1.50. 



The Convention History of America 



with a full report of the proceedings of the 

 Detroit and Indianapolis conventions, and 

 the American Bee Journal for one year, 

 will be clubbed for $l.'2o. 



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. 



Five Thousand new subscribers to the 

 Bee Journal is what we have made our 

 calculations for ; they will come in clubs 

 between now and next spring. Installments 

 are coming every day. 



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 •25 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 cents. Or if you 

 send us one new subscriber (with one dollar) 

 besides your own renewal, we will present 

 you with a copy by mail.
