Examine tlie Date following your 

 name on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it indicates the end of the 

 month to which yon have paid your 

 subscription on the Bee Jouknal. 



For safety, when sending money to 

 tliis 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 

 $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 havfe on our books. 



i^ 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. 



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^ In reply to many correspondents 

 let us say that we take any kind of 

 postage stamps as money, but coins 

 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^" 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. 



GETTING UP CLUBS. 



Create a Local Honey Market. 



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. 



^" "We can supply photographs of 

 Rev. L. L. Langstrolh. the Bp.-'^n of 

 Berlepsch,orDzierzon. at 25pts. each. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee 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; Montlily, $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 IScentsfor 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 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, 670 illustrations and 512 pages; 

 it is nicely bound in cloth, and will be 

 sent by mail, postpaid, to any address 

 desired. 



Subscriptionsfor twoor more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



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 

 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. 



igf Do not let your numbers of the 

 Bee Journal for 1884 be lost. The 

 best way to preserve them is to pro- 

 cure a binder and put them in. They 

 are very valuable for reference. 



Sample Copies of theAiiERiCAN Bem 

 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. 



Now is the time to create Honey 

 Markets in every village, town and 

 city. Wide - awake honey producers 

 should get the Leafiets " Why eat 

 Honey" (only 50 cents per 100), or else 

 the pamphlets on " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine," and scatter them, 

 plentifully all over the territory they 

 can supply wilh honey, and the result 

 will be a demand that will readily take 

 all of their crops at remunerative 

 prices. The pricesfor "Honey as Food 

 and Medicine " are as follows : 



Single copy 5 cts,; per doz., 40 cts ;. 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00 ; "r 1000 for 

 $1500- 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 hini to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



1^ To give away a copy of " Honey 

 as Food and Medicine " (o every one who- 

 buys a package of honey, will sell almost 

 any quantity of it. 



1^ Our rates for two or more 

 copies of the book, " Bees and Honey," 

 may be found on the Book List on 

 the second page of this paper. Also 

 wholesale rates on all books where 

 they are purchased " to sell again." 

 The time for reading up wjll soon be 

 here, and in anticipation of this, we 

 now have a very large stock of books 

 on hand, and can fill orders for them 

 in any quantity, on receipt of orders. 



Ribbon Badges, for bee-keepers, om 

 which are printed a large bee in gold, 

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



EXCELSIOR 



WAX EXTRACTOR 



The lulvantages of this Extractor are : 



1. It is more easil.v operated, there beins' 

 no necessity for removing the top to refill 

 with water. 



2. It melts cjuiclcer. because the wax is 

 brought into a more direct contact with the 

 steam. 



3. It is more economical, because the steam 

 has access to the center, thereliy extracting 

 all the wax from the refuse matter. 



4. The tiller lor water acts also as an indi- 

 cator as to the ainonni nt watei-in tlir boiler. 

 as when the steam eseaiies thmuKli tl>e filler, 

 more water will be reijuired. 



Keep a kettle of h(*t water ready to till 

 when required. We make two sizes, the 

 smaller one having a larger capacity than 

 the Swiss W'ax Extractor.
