 for the Monthly Bee Journal send 

 double the number of subscribers, and 

 the same amount of money. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Eecipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cents, postpaid; per dozen, 50 cents; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 

 or more, we 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. 



^" The time for the usual winter 

 rush of correspondence is here, and we 

 wish to impress upon all our patrons 

 the necessity of being very specific, 

 and carefully to state what they desire 

 for the money sent. Also, if they live 

 near one post oflice, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress we already have on our books. 



1^ 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 should be written on separate 

 pieces of paper.
