Examine the Date 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 25 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 

 Recipes 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 1000 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. 



Subscription Credits. — We do not 



acknowledge receipt of each subscrip- 

 tion by letter. The label on your 

 paper, or on the wrapper, shows the 

 date to which your subscription is 

 paid. When you send us money, if 

 the proper credit is not given you, 

 within tv,o 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. 



Our New List of Premiums. 



Getting u p Club s for 1884. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following premiums for 

 getting up clubs : 



While no subscription to the Bee 

 Journal will be taken for less than 

 the regular advertised prices (viz. : 

 Weekly, $2.00 ; Monthly, $1.00),— any 

 one getting up a club of two copies, 

 or more, may select from " Ouu Book 

 List " anything therein named, to 

 the amount of 15 cents for every dollar 

 they send direct to this office, to pay them 

 for the trouble of getting up the club ; 

 and these books will besent, postpaid, 

 to any address desired. 



For a club of 3 Weekly or 6 Monthly 

 and $6.00, we will make an additional 

 present of a Pocket Dictionary, bound 

 in cloth, containing 320 pages. 



For a club of 5 Weekly or 10 

 Monthly, (or a mixed club of both,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 15 per cent, present a copy of the 

 AiNiERicAN "Popular" Dictionary, 

 comprising every word in the English 

 language that enters into speech or 

 writing; it contains 32,000 words and 

 phrases,670 illustrations and 512 pages; 

 it is nicely bound in cloth, and will be 

 sent by mail, postpaid, to any address 

 desired. 



For a club of $20, for 10 Weeklies, or 

 an equivalent in Monthlies, we will

 books, a tested Italian queen, by mail, 

 postpaid. 



Announcements for larger clubs 

 will be made hereafter. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



^F To give away a copy of " Honey 

 as Food and Medicine " to every one who 

 buys a package of honey, will sell almost 

 any quantity of it. 



1^ Have you ever thought how 

 much entertainment might be had at 

 home evenings, if you could only find 

 some way to use your chromo cards, 

 photographs, scrap pictures, etc., in a 

 magic lantern, instead of the old fa- 

 miliar stock of glass slides V It seems 

 almost like wishing for the impossible, 

 and yet a cheap instrument has been 

 invented for the purpose, called the 

 Polyopticon, and you can learn all 

 about it by enquiring of the Murray 

 Hill Publishing Co., 129 E. 28th St., 

 New York City. 



Hope for the Deaf.— In another col- 

 umn will be found an advertisement 

 with the above head. We have seen 

 the descriptive book coming from this 

 house, and judge from the testimonials 

 therein contained that it is a very suc- 

 cessful device to restore hearing. The 

 book is sent free. It will well repay a 

 perusal. Send for it. 



Bee Pasturage a Necessity. —We have 



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 

 anyaddress for ten cents.
