To iucrease 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 



CASH PREIIIUMS FOK CLUBS. 



$10.00 for the largest club received 

 at this office before Feb. 1, 1885 (either

 different post-offlces) ; $5.50 for three

 five or more copies, $1.75 each. 



We have decided to publish the 

 Monthly Bee Journal for next year 

 ■of the same size and shape as the 

 Weekly, (which contains about the 

 same amount of reading matter as 

 the present Monthly,) at .50 cents a 

 j'ear;two copies (to the same or dif- 

 ferent post-offlces) for 90 cents ; three 

 copies for $1.30 ; four copies for $1.70 ;

 been extended on all portions of next 

 year, which have been paid for at the 

 Tate of $1.00. 



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 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages 1 25 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 1 50 



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. 



Create a Local Honey Market. 



Now is the time to create Honey 

 Markets in every village, town and 

 city. Wide - awake honey producers 

 should get the Leaflets " 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 with honey, and the result 

 will be a demand that will readily take 

 all of their crops at remunerative 

 prices. The prices for "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 ; 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^ To give away a copy of " Honey 

 as Food and Medicine " to every one ivho 

 buys a package of honey, will sell almost 

 any quantity of it. 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



i^" The new Monthly for January 

 will be issued this week, and the 

 many sample copies already ordered 

 will then be sent. We send samples 

 free to all who wish them, or desire to 

 get up Clubs. Now is the time to 

 work for the Cash premiums we offer. 

 A large club for the Monthly can be 

 gotten up in almost every locality. 



Premium for Club of 10 Subscribers. 



The book for every farmer is the one 

 entitled "Affleck's Farmer's and Planter's 

 Record and Account Book," in which there 

 is the most systematic, complete and conve- 

 nient arrangement of headings for every 

 Farm Account and memoi-anda of all impor- 

 tant events which may occur in connection 

 with his business. Every progressive farmer 

 certainly desires to make a success of his 

 occupation, and should adopt every possible 

 means of bringing about that result. He, 

 then, should have a correct knowledge of 

 his entire business, which he can have only 

 by keeping a correct account of every crop 

 produced on his farm, the cost of production 

 of all his live stock and an itemized account 

 of all his expenses. Then at the close of the 

 year, when he takes off his balance sheet, 

 which is admirably arranged in the book 

 above referred to, he will be able to see at a 

 glance whether his farm does or does not 

 pay. 



This valuable book contains 166 pages, 

 is nicely printed on writing paper, ruled and 

 bound, and the price is S.3.00. It can be sent 

 by mail for 24 cents extra. 



We can supply these books at the publish- 

 er's price, or will make a present of one 

 copy for every club of TEN subscribers to 

 the Weekly Bee Journal for one year, with 

 $20. Four subscribers to the Monthly will 

 count the same as one for the Weekly. 



Now is the time to get up Clubs. Who will 

 work for a copy of this valuable book y 



i^" For two subscribers for the 

 Weekly Bee Journal (or 8 for the 

 Monthly) for one year, we will present 

 a Pocket Dictionary, and send it by 

 mail postpaid.
