J^pccial IJoticcs. 



Exaiiiiiie tlie l>ate following; your 

 name an the wraiiper label of this 

 patter ; it indicates the end of the 

 montli to which you have paid your 

 subscription on tlie Bee Journal. 



For safety, when sending money to 

 this office get either a post ortice or ex- 

 press money order, a bank draft on 

 New York or Cliicago, or register tlie 

 letter. Postage stamps of any kind 

 may be sent for amounts less tliaii one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of i5 cents at Chicago banks. 

 American Express money orders for 

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



\Ve 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 ofHce, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress we already have on our books. 



^° 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. 



(^ 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. 



(^ All money orders from foreign 

 countries, should be made payable at 

 Chicago, as the " Madison Street Sta- 

 tion " is not an International office. 



®" 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 tliat way. 



^° We carefully mail the Bee 

 Journal to every subscriber, but 

 should any be lost in the mails we will 

 cheerfully send another, if notified 

 before all the edition is exhausted. 



Advertisements intended for the Bee 

 Journal must reach this office by 

 Saturday of the previous week. 



Subscription Credits.— We 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 montlis 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. 



I®" See M. Bailey's advertisement ; 

 he has Clover Seed for sale. 



WETTING UP CLUBS. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help | 

 to elevate the i)ursuit. 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 " Ouu Book 

 List " anything therein named, to 

 the amount of 1.5 cents for every dollar 

 thsy send direct to this office, to pay them 

 for the trouble of getting up the club ; 

 and these books will beseut, postpaid, 

 to any address desired. 



For a club of 3 Weekly or Monthly 

 and $0.00. we will make an additional 

 present of a Pocket Dictionary, bound 

 in cloth, containing 320 pages. 



For a club of .5 Weekly or 10 

 Monthly, (or a mixed club of botli,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 15 per cent, present a copy of the 

 American "Popular" Dictionary, 

 comprising every word in the English 

 language that enters into speech or 

 writing ; it contains 32,000 words and 

 phrases,(i70 illustrations and 512 pages; 

 it is nicely bound in cloth, and will be 

 sent by mail, postpaid, to any address 

 desired. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



Apiary Register— New Edition. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their vcork m the apiary, should get a 

 copy an<I commence to use it. The 

 prices will hereafter be a.t follows : 



For .50 colonies (120 pages) $1 (Mi 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 2.5 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 1 6U 



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. 



(^ Dzierzon's new work entitled 

 " Rational Bee-Keeping, " we now 

 club with the Bee Journal as fol- 

 lows : The Weekly for one year and 

 the book, bound in cloth, for $3, or in 

 paper covers for $2.7.5. Tlie Monthly 

 Bee Journal and the book, $1 less 

 than the above prices. It is an im- 

 ported book, printed in the English 

 language, and the price of the book is 

 $1.. 50 bound in paper covers, or $2.00 

 when bound in cloth. 



Emerson 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 

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

 the Weekly ; or for the Monthly, 50 

 cents. They caiinot be sent by mail
