THE AMERICAl^ BEE JOURNAL. 



Examine the Date following your 

 name on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it inilicates 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 ofiice 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 

 f 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 oihce, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress we already have on our books. 



Our Premiums for Clubs. 



Any one sending us a club of two 

 subscribers for 1 year, for the Weekly, 

 with $4, will be entitled to a copy of 

 Bees and Honey, in cloth, postpaid. 



For three subscribers, with $6, we 

 will send Cook's Manual, in paper, 

 Emerson's Binder for the Weekly, or 

 Apiary Register for .50 colonies. 



For four subscribers, with $8, we 

 will send Cook's Manual in cloth, or 

 Apiary Register for 100 colonies. 



For five subscribers, w'itli $10, we 

 ■will send the Apiary Register for 200 

 colonies, Quinby's New Bee-Keeping, 

 Root's ABC of Bee Culture, or an 

 extra copy of the Weekly Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year. 



To get any of the above premiums 

 for the Monthly Bee Journal send 

 double the number of subscribers, and 

 the same amount of money. 



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 

 «ither 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. 



Bee Pasturage a Necessity.— We have 

 just issued a new pamphlet giving our 

 views on this important subject, with 

 suggestions what to plant, and when 

 and how. It is illustrated with 26 en- 

 gravings, and will be sent postpaid to 

 any address for 10 cents. 



^g" And still, we are obliged to say 

 that the books on Queen-Rearing, by 

 Henry Alley, have not been received. 

 As soon as they do, the orders we 

 have on hand will be filled. In order 

 to appease those who are impatient, 

 we may say that Mr. Alley has writ- 

 ten us that the book will make 2.5 or 

 30 more pages than he anticipated; 

 and adds : " We had no idea that 

 there would be so many pages. I 

 think all will be well pleased with the 

 extra amount, and feel compensated 

 for long and patient waiting." It is 

 all right, except announcing it '"ready 

 for delivery " a month before it is act- 

 ually printed and bound. As this is 

 Mr. Alley's firstexperience in publish- 

 ing, we shall have to overlook it on 

 the ground of inexperience. Old 

 publishers know better. 



1^ The stylograph ic pen is one of 

 the necessaries of our modern civili- 

 zation. If Hood's song had been" Dip, 

 dip, dip," instead of " Stitch, stitch, 

 stitch," it would have lost its text at 

 the hands of Mr. Livermore, who has 

 given his age this perfection of pen, 

 penliolder, and case, and ink, all in 

 one, handsome, and always at hand 

 and ready for use. The inventor has 

 put some new improvements into it, 

 and now what remains but for every 

 scribe and letter writer to tind it on 

 his desk. Ink, tiller and cleaner, all 

 go with it. And, to crown all, the 

 price has been reduced to $2. Send 

 that amomit to tlie sole agent, Mr. 

 Louis E. Dunlap,290 Washington St., 

 Boston, Mass., and the return mail 

 will bring you this most perfect pen.— 

 Contributor, Boston, Mass. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We liave 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. 



Preparation of Honey for the Mar- 

 ket, including the production and care 

 of both comb and extracted honey, 

 instructions on the exhibition of bees 

 and honey at Fairs, etc. This is a 

 new 10 cent pamphlet, of 32 pages. 



Tbe Apiary Register. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 50 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 2 00 



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. 



i^"Postage stamps, of one, two or 

 three cent denomination, accepted for 

 fractional parts of a dollar; but money 

 is preferred.
