To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (Bome inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no PostrOfflce, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post- 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



\flien Renetvlng your subscription 

 please try to get your neighbor who keeps 

 bees to Join with you in taking the Bee 

 Journal. It is now «o cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bee Jouknal to any one 

 sending us three subscriptions— with $3.00— 

 direct to this office. It will pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers. 



Home Market for Honey. 



Simnilns' Non-Sivarining System is 



the title of a new English bee-book. The 

 author claims that itwill inaugurate a '* new 

 era in modern bee-keeping,'* and states that 

 "Itisbased upon purely natural principles, 

 and is the only system that can ever be 

 relied upon, because no other condition 

 exists in the economy of the hive that can 

 be applied to bring about the desired result 

 —a total absence of any desire to swarm." 

 It contains 64 pages; is well printed and 

 Illustrated. Price 50 cents. It can now be 

 obtained at this office. 



Preserve yonr Papers for reference. 

 If you have no BINDER we will mail you 

 one for 60 cents, or you can have one free 

 If you will send us 3 new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journal. 



Dr. imiler's Book, "A Year Among 

 the Bees," and the Bee .Iouksal for one 

 year, we will club for $1.50. 



Colored Posters for putting up over 

 honey exhibits at Fairs are quite attractive, 

 as well as useful. We have prepared some 

 for the Bee Journal, and will send twopr 

 more free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club. 



^^ To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets " Why Eat 

 Honey " (only 50 cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them pUntifully, aud the result 

 will be a demand for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the following prices : 



Single copy, 5 cts. ; per doz., 40 cts. ; per 

 hundred, $2.50. Five hundred will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00; or 1,000 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). 



To give away a copy of " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine" to every one who buys a 

 package of honey, will sell lots of it. 



Yucca Bruslies are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable fiber, and do not Irritate the 

 bees. As each separate fiber extends the 

 whole length of the handle as well as the 

 brush, they are almost indestructable. 

 When they become sticky with honey, they 

 can be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any bee-keeper to have six or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 handy. We can supply them at 5 cents 

 each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 odd 1 cent each for postage

As tUere Is Another firm in Chicago by 

 the name of " Newman & Son," we wish our 

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " on the envelope when writing to 

 this office. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



money Orders can now be obtained at 

 the Post Offices at reduced rates. Five 

 dollars and under costs now only 5 cents. 

 As these are absolutely safe, it will pay to 

 get them instead of the Postal Notes which 

 are payable to any one who presents them, 

 and are in no way safe.
