To Advertisers. — By reference to our 

 schedule of rates for advertising by 

 the year, it will be seen that consider- 

 able reduction has been made. This, 

 in connection with our large and in- 

 creasing circulation, makes it advan- 

 tageous to dealers to avail tliemselves 

 of its weekly visits to the bee-keepers 

 of America to make their announce- 

 ments for tlie coming season's trade. 

 We not only offer the best advertising 

 medium, but the lowest rates on yearly 

 contracts. 



A Sample (Jopy of the Weekly Bee 

 Journal will be sent free to any per- 

 son. Any one intending to get up a 

 club can have sample copies sent to 

 the persons they desire to interview, 

 by sending the names to this office.

The Apuiry Register. 



As the time is now at hand to com- 

 mence the use of this valuable book, 

 all who intend to be systematic in 

 their work during the coming season, 

 shouldjobtain a copy and commence to 

 use it. We give the following notices 

 by the bee papers of America, which 

 most thoroughly endorse its use : 



" Every bee-keeper should have a 

 good imderstanding of the condition 

 of every colony of bees in his apiary ; 

 he should also become aware of the 

 superior and inferior qualities of his 

 bees, and know the colonies to which 

 these traits belong. He should record 

 the amount of honey, in pounds, which 

 is taken from each colony and thereby 

 learn which colonies are the greatest 

 honey gatherers, and therefore the 

 most profitable. He will thus be 

 enabled to learn and decide for him- 

 self which queens will pay him the 

 best to breed from, and how such 

 queens look — whether the color or 

 size decides in any way the superior- 

 ity, and more than one question which 

 is harrowing our minds to-day, each 

 may settle for himself by the follow- 

 ing bee-keeping in a systematic and 

 orderly way. When such a day comes 

 we predict a more harmonious and 

 satisfactory time for bee-keepers. 

 We liave long urged the need of sys- 

 tematic bee-keeping, and one of its 

 necessities has been brought forth by 

 T. G. Newman, of Chicago, from 

 whom we have received a copy of the 

 Apiary Register, which was devised 

 to contain a complete record of each 

 colony in the apiary. Tlie book Is 

 leather bound and well gotten up." — 

 Bee-Keepers'' Guide. 



" The latest thing out in the way of 

 convenience for systematizing work 

 in the apiary, is an Apiary Register 

 book, gotten up by Mr. T. G. New- 

 man, to whom we are indebted for a 

 sample copy of the work. Two pages 

 of the book are devoted to each colony, 

 with rulings and proper headings, so 

 that a glance will give a complete his- 

 tory of the colony. On the frontpages 

 are plain directions for using the Reg- 

 ister, with two sample pages, showing 

 how to fill up the blanks." — Kansas 

 Bee-Keeper. 



"Apiary Register. — We have just 

 received one of friend Newman's 

 Apiary Registers, and we must say 

 we are delighted with it and wonder 

 how us bee folks got along without it. 

 Tlie one we have is for 100 colonies of 

 bees, witli something like 220 pages ; 

 there is one page devoted exclusively 

 to the colony on general principles, 

 bees, honey, etc. Then the opposite 

 page is devoted exclusively "to the 

 queen, and in the back there is suffi- 

 cient number of pages devoted to the 

 cash account, so the whole business of 

 your apiary can be kept together. It 

 also has a page and a half devoted to 

 things worth knowing. A complete 

 glossary, and a nice little table of 

 abbreviations. It is neatly bound in 

 full sheep, and one book will do a sin- 

 gle apiary for 2 or 3 years." — American 

 Beekeeper. 



"■ Tlie Apiary Register, published by 

 T. G. Newman, is a book that fills a 

 long-felt want, and one that every 

 apiarist should have. Two pages, 

 ruled and printed, are devoted to each 

 colony, it being so arranged that a 

 single glance will give its complete 

 history. It is strongly bound in 

 leatlier, and of very convenient size, 

 being small enough to carry handily 

 in the pocket."— iJee-A'eepers' Instruc- 

 tor. 



" We are indebted to Mr. Newman 

 for a sample copy of his Apiai-y Regis- 

 ter. This is something new arid fills a 

 needed want in the bee yard. • The 

 one we have is calculated for 100 colo- 

 nies and is so complete in its syste- 

 matic and condensed arrangement 

 that the whole story of each is told on 

 one leaf about 4x6 inches — which 

 makes a book tor 100 colonies ^ of an 

 inch thick. Can be carried in the bee- 

 keepers' pocket without any incon- 

 venience. Thus he can know the ex- 

 act condition of any colony in a 

 moment. It has only to be seen to be 

 appreciated."— iieeA.eepers'JBx-c/iaj!ge.

The larger ones can be used for a 

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there- 

 fore the most desirable ones to pro- 

 cure at the start.

 our authorized agents are y Every

 to her friend, " to appear so happy all

 ways feel good natured." See other
