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 oflice 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 2.5 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 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. 



®" 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 rdail, 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. 



Create a Local Honey Market. 



Xow is the time to create Honey 

 Markets in every village, town and 

 city. Wide-awake honey producers 

 should get the Leaflets " AVhy eat 

 Honey" (only .")0 cents per 100), or else 

 the i)amphlets on " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine," and scatter them 

 plentifully all over the territory they 

 can supply with lioney, and the result 

 will be a demand that will readily take 

 all of tlieir 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 tor $10.00 ; or 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 him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good prolit. 



^" To give away a copy of " Honey 

 as Food and Medicine " to evei-y one lohc 

 buys a package of honey, will sell almost 

 any quantity of it. 



ConTention Hand-Book. 



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. 



^P'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. 



^° We can supply photographs of 

 Rev. L. L. Laugstroth. the Baron of 

 Berlepsch, or Dzierzon, at 25 cts. each. 



Sample Copies of theAMERiCAN Bee 

 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. 



^" Our rates for two or more 

 eopiesof the book, " Bees andHoney." 

 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 will soon be 

 here, and in anticipation of this, we 

 now have a very large stock of books 

 on hand, and can lill orders for them 

 in any quantity, on receipt of orders. 



It is a nice Pocket Companion for 

 bee-keepers. It is beautifully jirinted 

 on toned paper, and bound in cloth — 

 price 50 cents. 



It contains a copy of a model 

 " Constitution and By-Laws '' for the 

 formation of Societies for Bee-Keep- 

 ers— a simplified manual of Parlia- 

 mentary Law and Rules of Order for 

 the guidance of officers as well as 

 nieniliers, a blank form for making 

 statistical icports — a Programme 

 of questions for discussion at 

 such meetings— model Premium Lists 

 for Fairs which may be contracted or 

 enlarged, and then recommended to 

 the managers of adjacent County or 

 District Fairs— .32 blank leaves for 

 jotting down interesting facts, etc. 



We have aimed to make it suitable for 

 any locality, and a book that will com- 

 mend itself to every bee-keeper in the 

 English-speaking world. 



We have had some bound in Russia 

 leather, with colored edges — price 60 

 cents. 



We will supply them by the dozen at 

 25 per cent, discount, post-paid.

 ket, including the production and care 

 of both comb and extracted honey,
