Dear Mr. Editor :— ilay I ask you 

 to call special attention to our next 

 annual meeting to be held in Flint, 

 Dec. 6 and 7, of the Michigan Bee- 

 Keepers' Association. We expect to 

 have bv far the best meeting ever held 

 in the State. It is expected that the 

 Rev. L. L. Langstroth will be present. 

 To see and hear him will pay any one 

 for the trouble and expense incident 

 to the journey. We also expect D. A. 

 Jones, A. I. Root, C. F. Muth. and 

 hope to have C. C. Miller and T. G. 

 Newman. From what I hear, Michi- 

 gan bee-keepers are to be out in force. 

 Hotel rates are to be $L00 a day. Fur- 

 ther particulars as to programme, will 

 loe given soon. We expect to get re- 

 duced rates on the railroads. To aid 

 in tills, and that I may know how 

 many certilicates on railroads to ask 

 for, will every one in this or other 

 States who expect to come, drop me a 

 card at once to that effect V 



A. .J. Cook, President.

Book Notices. 



i^"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 new subscription 

 with your own V Our premium, " Bees 

 and Honey," in cloth, for one jieio sub- 

 scriber to the Weekly, or two for the 

 Monthly, besides your own subscrip- 

 tion to either edition, will pay you for 

 your trouble, besides having the satis- 

 faction of knowing that you have 

 aided the Bee Journal to a new 

 subscriber, and progressive apiculture 

 to another devotee. 



1^ Copp's U. S. Salary List and 

 Civil Service Rules. Our many 

 readers will welcome the solid infor- 

 mation contained in the 160 pages of 

 this recently-issued book. It is pre- 

 pared by Henry N. Copp, a lawyer of 

 Washington, D. C. All the Govern- 

 ment salaries are given from Presi- 

 dent Arthur's S50,OUO to Post-masters 

 with $.500, officials of the Treasury, 

 Interior, AVar and Navy Departments, 

 Custom Houses, Post-offices, and 

 fully 20.000 Federal offices arranged 

 by .States and Territories. Specimen 

 examination questions for admittance 

 to the Civil Service throughout the 

 country are added. The price of the 

 book is only 35 cents. Politicians 

 alone have heretofore held this knowl- 

 edge. The people now have a chance 

 to learn into whose pockets their 

 money goes, and how the Nation's 

 income is expended. 



1^ The enterprising publishers of 

 Dr. Foote's Health Monthly have 

 this fall, by the liberality of their 

 premium offers, out-done all their 

 previous generosity. The list to select 

 from includes useful articles, standard 

 books, and scientiHc literature, such 

 as one usually expects to pay well for, 

 but here they are thrown in with a 

 year's subscription to the most pop- 

 ular and widely greeted Health 

 Monthly at only 50 cents a year. 

 Try it before you buy it by sending 

 for a free sample copy and illustrated 

 premium list, to the Murray Hill Pub- 

 lishing Co., 129 E. 28th St.,"N. Y. City. 



Advertisements intended for the Bee 

 Journal must reach this office by 

 Saturday of the previous week. 



l^"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.
