THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.

^pfecial Notices. 



Examine the Dale 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 ofHce 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. 



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 wrappir-label. This 

 gives a continual statement of account. 



Our New List of Premiums. 



How to Create a Market for Honey. 



We have now published another 

 edition of the pamphlet on "Honey as 

 Food and Medicine," with more »iew 

 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. 



Getting up Clubs 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 : 



AVhile 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 " Our Book 

 List " anything therein named, to 

 the amount of 1.5centsfor every dollar 

 they send direct to this office, to pay them 

 for the trouble of getting up the club ; 

 and these books will be sent, postpaid, 

 to any address desired.

 and $6.00, we will make an additional 

 present of a Pocket Dictionary, bound 

 in cloth, containing 320 pages.

 Monthly, (or a mixed club of both,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 1.5 per cent, present a copy of the
