THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



365 



^:p^jetial ^otit^s. 



Examine 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- 



Sress money order, a bank draft on 

 few York or Chicago, or register the 

 letter. Postage stamps of any kind 

 mav be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of i5 cents at Chicago banks. 

 American Express money orders for 

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



We wish to impress upon every one 

 the necessity of being very speciflc, 

 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. 



^' 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. 



1^ 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— 

 mcluding 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. 



^" 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. 



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 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. 



Advertisements intended for the Bee 

 Journal must reach this office by 

 Saturday of the previous week. 



GETTING UP CLUBS. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the ]5ek Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore", 

 oft'er the following premiums for 

 getting up cluhs : 



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 

 they 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 3 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 Weekly or 10 

 Monthly, (or a mixed club of both,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 15 per cent, present a copv 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,670 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 work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. The 

 prices will hereafter be as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 page.s) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 25 



" 200 colonies (•120 pages) 1 5U 



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. 



1^ 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 $2.75. The 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 pajjer 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 IJee 

 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. 



" The Son of Monte-Cristo." 

 being the sequel to " The Wife of 

 Monte-Ckisto," and the end of the 

 continuation of Dumas' masterwork, 

 "The Count of Monte-Cristo," just 

 published by T. B. Peterson & Broth- 

 ers, Philadelphia, Pa., at 75 cents. 

 Ponianlii- in the highest degree, pow- 

 erful in the widest sense of the term, 

 and absorbinglv interesting, it is a 

 work absolutely without parallel at 

 the present day. Every chapter has a 

 strong and stirring feature of its own, 

 while all the legions of intensely 

 thrilling incidents are as original and 

 surprising as they are strong.
