Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A newedition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to iww 

 Recipes 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. 



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. 



1^ When writing to this office on 

 business, our correspondents should 

 not write anything for publication on 

 the same sheet of p-iper, 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 

 T)ublication it often causes confusion. 

 They may both be sent in one envelope 

 but on separate pieces of paper. 



Preparation of Honey for tlie 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.
