System and Success. 



i^~ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copj of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 the prices arc reduced, as follows : 



For 50 colonies (1-0 pages) $] 00 



" 100 colonics (220 pap-es) 125 



" 200 colonies (420 pa^es) 130 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all tog-ether in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



More Premlunift — Mr. L. J. Diehl, of 

 Butler, Ind., offers a colony of Italian bees 

 as a present to the person sending to this 

 office the largest club of suhscribers for 

 1887. The subscriptions may be sent in at 

 any time before the first of May at our regu- 

 lar club rates, and additions made as de- 

 sired, but it must be stated that you are 

 working for that premium, so that we can 

 keep account of the subscriptions. 



As a premium to the second largest club 

 we will send my mail, postpaid, a copy of 

 the '• Farm Account Book," worth $3. The 

 postage is 20 cents. 



A New Crate to hold one dozen one-pound 

 sections of honey.— It has a strip of glass on 

 each side, to allow the honey to be seen. It 

 Is a light and attractive package. As it holds 

 but one tier of sections, no damage from the 

 drippings from an upper tier can occur. We 

 can furnish the material, ready to nail, for 

 9 cts. per crate. Glass 131ic. per light, extra. 



Red Labels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size .3x4^ inches. — We have Just 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100 

 for tl.OO : 2.iO for$l.."i0 ; 500 for $2.00 ; 1,000 

 for $.1.00 ; all with name and address of 

 apiaiist printed on them— by mail, postpaid. 



There wrlll be a Rush for supplies 

 needed in the apiary after awhile, and we 

 cannot do better than to urge all to look 

 over their stock, ascertain what will be 

 needed, and get it on hand before it is nec- 

 essary for use— thus avoiding the perplexity 

 consequent upon its possible delay In reach- 

 ing them in time. 



Ry ITsIng the Hinder made expressly 

 for this Bee Journal, all can have them 

 bound and ready for reference and exami- 

 nation every day In the year. We have re- 

 duced the price to 60 cents, postpaid. Sub- 

 scription for one year and the binder for 

 $1.50. 



It It) No Longer an Open Question 



whether newspaper advertising pays. What 

 a business man now considers in this con- 

 nection is how. when and where it can be 

 done to insure the best returns on the in- 

 vestment. Have something of value to sell; 

 then select the paper w^hich sends the 

 greatest number of copies to those who 

 should use the article. Use as few words as 

 possible, and let them be printed in large 

 type, so as to catch the eye. These are some 

 of the secrets of successful advertising.
