Special Notices. 



Examine tbe Bate 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 office 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. 



How to Create a Market for Honey. 



We have now published another 

 edition of the pamphlet on "Honey as 

 Food and Medicine," with more new 

 Eecipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price still lower, 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 5 

 cents, postpaid ; per dozen, 40 cents; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00, or 1,000 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. 

 Try it, and you will be surprised. 



Our Premiums for Clubs. 



Bee Pasturage a Necessity.— W e 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. 



I®" Do not send coins in a letter. It 

 is dangerous and increases the postage 

 unnecessarily. Always send postage 

 stamps, for fractions of a dollar, and, 

 if you can get them — one-cent stamps ; 

 if not, any denomination of postage 

 stamps will do. 



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 $<i, we 

 will send Cooks 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, with $10, we 

 will send the Apiary Register for 200 

 colonies, <iuinby 's New Bee-Keeping, 

 Root's A B C 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. 



The 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. 



Subscription Credits.— We do not 

 acknowledge receipt of each subscrip- 

 tion by letter. The label on your 

 paper, or on the wrapper, shows ihe 

 date to which your subscription is 

 paid. When you send us money, if 

 the proper credit is not given you, 

 within two 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 statement of account every 

 week. 



^"May we ask you, dear reader, to 

 speak a good word for the Bee Jour- 

 nal to neighbors who keep bees, and 

 send on at least one ««i« subscription 

 with your own V Our premium," Bees 

 and Honey," in cloth, for one ?ie?« sub-

Cyprians Conquered.

 and tolher " with me and the Cyprian 

 colony of bees I have— but at last I

The New York and Lake City Mining 

 Company. 



A prominent engineer, who is well 

 acquainted with Mines in all parts of 

 Colorado, was recently invited to ex- 

 amine the property of this Company. 

 He gave it as his opinion, and he is 

 perfectly disinterested, that the pro- 

 perty is the richest he had ever seen, 

 and is worth $5,000,000.— ^dt;. 



Advertisers' Opinion. 



The queen bu.siness is ncshing, and 

 we think the Bee Journal deserves 

 much credit as an advertising medium.
