PROF. A. J. COOK. 



This 15th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's magnificent book of 460 pages, 

 in neat and substantial cloth binding, we propose to give away to our present sub- 

 scribers, for the work of getting new subscribers for the American Bee Journal. 



A description of the book here is quite unnecessary — it is simply the most com- 

 complete scientific and practical bee-book published to-day. Fully illustrated, and 

 all written in the most fascinating style. The author is also too well-known to the 

 whole bee-world to require any introduction. No bee-keeper is fully equipped, or 

 his librarycoraplete, without "The Bee-Keeper's Guide." 



HERE IS OUR GRAND OFFER: 



Send us Two New Subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $2.00), and we will 

 mail Tou a copy of Prof. Cook's book free as a premium. No premium is also giv- 

 en to the new subscribers, under this offer. The postpaid price of the book alone 

 is $1.25, or we club it with the Bee Journal for a year— both together for $1.75. 

 But surely anybody can get only two new subscribers to the Bee Journal for a year, 

 and thus get the book as a premium. Let everybody try for it. We want to give 

 away 1000 copies of this book by Oct. 1. Will you have one ?

PHILADELPHIA, PA., Aug. 19.— New crop 

 of comb honey is coming in more freely and

 arriving in a small way, Wequote; Fancy 

 comb, 14(ai5c.; good, 13c.; fair, OOllc. Ex- 

 tracted, 4 '/sQj'/jC. It is hard to get our mar- 

 ket to rally after the blow it received in the 

 spring on discovering such a large amount of 

 beeswax adulterated. We quote pure wax, 

 22@25c. W. A. S. 



ALBANY, N. T., Sept. 6.— Honey market
