^" The pamphlet" Honey, as Food 

 and Medicine " is an excellent thing 

 to give away at Fairs, where a good 

 exhibit is made. A thousand copies 

 will sell almost a fabulous quantity of 

 honey, if judiciously given — any given 

 to every one loho buys a package of honey. 

 Try it. 



^" Constitutions and By-Laws for 

 local Associations $2.00 per 100. The 

 name of the Association printed in the 

 blanks for 50 cents extra. 



Sample Copies of the American Bee 

 Journal will be sent free to any per- 

 son. Any one intending to get up a 

 club can have sample copies sent to 

 the persons they desire to interview, 

 by sending the names to this office. 



Special Notice.— We will, hereafter, 

 supply the Weekly Bee Journal 

 for one year, and the seventh edition 

 of Prof. Cook's Manual of the Apiary, 

 bound in flue cloth, for $2.75, or the 

 Monthly Bee Journal, and the Manual 

 in cloth for $1.75. As this offer will 

 soon be withdrawn, those who desire 

 it should send for the book at once. 



^' The pamphlet, " Honey, as 

 Food and Medicine," is in such de- 

 mand, that we find it necessary to 

 print them in still larger quantities, 

 and can, therefore, still further re- 

 duce the price, as noted on page 285. 

 Let them be scattered like " autumn 

 leaves," and the result, we feel sure, 

 will fully reward honey-producers for 

 both the labor and the small expense. 



(^ Do not let your numbers of the 

 Bee Journal for 1883 be lost. The 

 best way to preserve them is to pro- 

 cure a binder and put them in. They 

 are very valuable for reference 



tS" The new Postal Note will be 

 obtainable in a few days at the Post- 

 offices all over the country. Then 

 any sum from one cent to five dollars 

 can be sent in a letter, by obtaining a 

 Postal Note, costing only 3 cents. 

 After October 1, small sums can be 

 easily sent to this office for 5 cents (3 

 cents for the Postal Note and 2 cents 

 postage on the letter), and there will 

 be no need of sending postage stamps 

 in letters, which often get all stuck 

 together by the damp weather, or 

 being handled while perspiring.

 son & Brothers, 806 Chesnut Street,

TbU Is a new edition of Hrof. Cook's Manual of 

 the Apiary, enlarged and elesantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of a.OUO copies was exhausted Id 

 about IS months — a sale unprecedeRted In th© 

 annals of bee-oulture. This new work bus beeo 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineatiOQ 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honey bee. 

 Illustrated with many costly wood engravinca — 

 the products of the Honay Bee ; the nices ol bees; 

 fulldesccrjptions of honey -producing plants .trees, 

 shrubs, etc., splendidly Illustrated— and last,thougb 

 not least, detailed instructions for the varioua 

 manipulations necessary in the apiary. 



This work Is a masterly production, and one that 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 aflord to do without. It is fully "up with the times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Head the JoUmvimj opinions of the Book;

 real Vii.lui:.—L'ApicuUure, Paris.

I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. Cook's Now Mjinual ot the Apiary than trum 

 any other book.— E. H. Wynkuop. 



This book Is just what everyone Interested Id 

 bees ought to have, and which, no one who oof inns 

 It, will ever reuret having puicnased.-iMit/i. Far. 



To nil who wish to engage 'n bee culture, a 

 manual is a necessity. Piuf. Cook's Manual is an 

 extiausttive work,^i/f raid, Monticello, 111. 



With Cook's Manual I am more than pleased. Jt 

 l8 fu.lf up with the nines in every particular. The 

 ricbtft rewaid awaits iia author.— A. E. Wenzel- 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myselt. iin.I ntu('h ot it m due to ihe clear, dia- 

 inteiested iniurujatuvn coiitaiiied in Cook's Man- 

 ual.- VVm. Van A.\TWEHi>. M. D 



It is the latest book on the bee, and treats of both 

 the bee and liivos, with their iiupiementa. It is of 

 value to all bec-ruisers.- K y. Ltve Stock Record. 



It is a credit to the author as well the publisher. 

 I have never yet met ^\itha work, either French 

 or toreiMn, which 1 like so much.— L'Abbe JJU 

 BOIS, editor of the BuLetin D' Afuculteur^ France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious iusecta, but also a thorough, praciical, 

 and clearly expressed sei ics of directfons for their 

 management; also a boumiritt descri[>tion ot hi'ney 

 producing' ptanis, and an extended account oi the 

 enemies of bees.— X»t»i(/cr(jr, I'uiuski, Js'. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vndt 

 meciunot the bee-keep»?r. It is replete with the 

 best intonuation on everything belonging to api- 

 culture, 'i'o al taking an intere?t in this suhject, 

 we say. Obtain this valuaDle work, read it careiuily 

 and practice aa advised.— J, oncu/tun^e, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by tbe press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most ct.>nipleie and praetieal 

 treatise on bee-culture in Kuropeor America; a 

 BCientiilc work on nnui<-rn bee management that 

 every experienced bee man will welcome, and it is 

 essenliaf to every amateur In bee-culture. It is 

 hanasomely printed, iRMtiv hound, and is a credil 

 to the Yi eau—Wicitern A\jricuUuruit. 



This work is undoubtedly the most coTiplete 

 manual tor the Instrmtioii of iKiC-keepers whieh 

 biisever t-een publislitHl. It gives a full e.Tplana- 

 tion regarding tbe mieand management of the 

 apiary, 'ftiere is no suhject relating to the culture 

 of bees lefr unioucheil. aiul in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has bad the advantniie of all 

 the previous knowiede ot apiitriats, which he uses 

 admirably to prom«.)te and make popular this most
