Esaniiiie the Date following your 

 name on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it indicates the end of the 

 month to which you have paid your 

 subscription on the Bee Journal. 



For safety, when sending money to 

 this office get either a post office or ex- 

 press money order, a bank draft on 

 New York or Chicago, or register the 

 letter. Postage stamps of any kind 

 may be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of 25 cents at Chicago banks. 

 American Express money orders for 

 f 5, or less, can be obtained for 5 cents. 



We wish to impress upon every one 

 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 we already have on our books. 



Subscription Credits. — VVe do not 

 acknowledge receipt of each subscrip- 

 tion by letter. The label on your 

 paper, or on the wrapper, shows the 

 date to which your subscription is 

 paid. When you send us money, if 

 the proper credit is not given you, 

 within tv.o weeks thereafter, on your 

 label, notify us by postal card. Do 

 not wait for months or years, and 

 then claim a mistake. The subscrip- 

 tion is paid to the end of the month 

 indicated on the wrapper-label. This 

 gives a continual statement of account. 



^" "We can supply photographs of 

 Rev. L. L. Langstroth, the Baron of 

 Berlepsch, orDzierzon, at 25 cts. each. 



Eniei-son Binders — made especially 

 for the Bee Journal, are lettered in 

 gold on the back, and make a very 

 convenient way of preserving the Bee 

 Journal as fast as received. They 

 will be sent, post-paid, for 75 cents, for 

 the Weekly ; or for the Monthly, 50 

 cents. They cannot be sent by mail 

 to Canada. 



^" When writing to this office on 

 business, our correspondents should 

 not write anything for publication on 

 the same sheet of paper, unless it can 

 be torn apart without interfering with 

 either portion of the letter. The edi- 

 torial and business departments are 

 separate and distinct, and when the 

 business is mixed up with items for 

 publication it often causes confusion. 

 They may both be sent in one envelope 

 but on separate pieces of paper. 



(JETTINU UP CLUBS. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bke Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following premiums for 

 getting up clubs : 



While no subscription to the Bee 

 Journal will be taken for less than 

 the regular advertised prices (viz. : 

 Weekly, $2.00 ; Monthly, $1.00),— any 

 one getting up a club of two copies, 

 or more, may select from " Our Book 

 List " anything therein named, to 

 the amount of 15 cents for every dollar 

 tJiey send direct to this office, to pay them 

 for the trouble of getting up the club ; 

 and these books will be sent, postpaid, 

 to any address desired. 



For a club of r. Weekly or 6 Monthly 

 and $6.00, we will make an additional 

 present of a Pocket Dictionary, bound 

 in cloth, containing 320 pages. 



For a club of 5 AVeekly or 10 

 Monthly, (or a mixed club of both,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 15 per cent, present a copy of the 

 American "PoruLAR" Dictionary, 

 comprising every word in the English 

 language that enters into speech or 

 writing ; it contains 32,000 words and 

 phrases,670 illustrations and 512 pages; 

 it is nicely bound in cloth, and will be 

 sent by mail, postpaid, to any address 

 desired. 



For a club of $20, for 10 Weeklies, or 

 an equivalent in Monthlies, we will 

 present, besides the 15 per cent, in 

 books, a tested Italian queen, by mail, 

 postpaid. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



For a club of 100 AVeekly (or its 

 equivalent in Monthlies), with $200, 

 we will send a Magnificent Organ 

 worth $150. See description on page 

 614 of the W'eekly for Nov. 28, 1883. 



l^For $2.75 we will supply the 

 Weekly Bee Journal one year, and 

 Dzierzon's Rational Bee-Keepiug, in 

 paper covers ; or the Monthly Bee 

 Journal and the book for $1.75. 



1^ It must be understood that, 

 should an advertiser desire to cancel 

 an unexpired contract, he can do so 

 only by paying regular rates for the 

 number of insertions his advertise- 

 ment has had. 



1^ All money orders from foreign 

 countries, should be made payable at 

 Chicago, as the " Madison Street Sta- 

 tion ""is not an International oflice. 



Honey as Food and Medicine, 



A pamphlet of 16 pages giving 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price still knoer, 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 5 

 cents, postpaid ; per dozen, 40 cents; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00 ; or 1000 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). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense— enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



1^ A correspondent asks if any one 

 may select a Binder for the Bee 

 Journal, among the books given as 

 Premiums for getting subscribers; we 

 reply, yes, any book or binder we keep 

 for sale may be selected by those who 

 get up clubs. 



1^ In reply to many correspondents 

 let us say that we take any kind of 

 postage stamps at their face value- 

 including the 3 cent ones. Silver 

 should never be sent by mail, as it en- 

 dangers the loss of the letter either 

 by thieves, or else breaks through the 

 envelope and is lost in that way. 



I^T Constitutions and By-Laws for 

 local Associations $2.00 per 100. The 

 name of the Association printed in the 

 blanks for 50 cents extra 



Ribbon Badges, for bee-keepers, on 

 which are printed a large bee in gold, 

 we send for 10 cts. each, or $8 per 100.
