The Apiary Register. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 tlieir work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 50 



" 200 colonies (-120 pages) 2 00 



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. 



Subscription Credits.— After send- 

 ing subscriptions to this office, we 

 would respectfully ask every one to 

 look at the label on the wrapper of the 

 next two papers, and there they will 

 find the credit indicated thus : Those 

 who have paid for the first six months 

 of next year will find " June 83 " after 

 their names. Those who have paid 

 for the whole year will find " Dec. 83 " 

 on their papers. The credit runs to 

 the end of the month indicated. If 

 the mark is " Dec. 82," it means that 

 the subscription is paid until the end 

 of the present year. Please remem- 

 ber that the credit given on this label 

 is a sufficient notification of subscrip- 

 tions due and receipt for payments 

 made. If not so indicated within two 

 weeks after sending money to us, you 

 may be sure something is wrong, and 

 should write to us about it. It will 

 save annoyance and trouble if our 

 subrcribers will give this matter due 

 attention. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in whicli honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cents, postpaid; per dozen, 50 cents; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 

 or more, we print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, "Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters tliem). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense— enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



Bee Pasturage a Necessity. — We have 

 just issued a new pamphlet giving our 

 views on this important subject, with 

 suggestions what to plant, and when 

 and how. It is illustrated with 26 en- 

 gravings, and will be sent postpaid to 

 any address for 10 cents. 



W Our new location. No. 925 West 

 Madison St., is only a few doors from 

 the new branch postofflce. We have 

 a telephone and any one in the city 

 wishing to talk to us through it will 

 please call for No. 7087— that being 

 our telephone number. 



1^ The time for the usual winter 

 rush of correspondence is here, and we 

 wish to impress upon all our patrons 

 the necessity of being very specific, 

 and carefully to state what they desire 

 for the money sent. Also, if they live 

 near one post office, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress that we already have on our 

 books.
