^p^ecxal Notices. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. 0. address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have sere ral letters 

 (eome inclosing: money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offlce, 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. 



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. 



Preserve your 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 Journai,. 



Colored Posters for putting up over 

 honey exhibits at Fairs are quite attractive, 

 as well as useful. We have prepared some 

 for the Bee JonRNAL, and will send two or 

 more free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club. 



We nrtll Present Webster's Dictionary 

 <pockel> edition), and send it by mail, post- 

 paid, for two subscribers with $'2. It is 

 always useful to have a dictionary at hand 

 to decide as to the spelling of words, and to 

 determine their meaning. 



One Dollar invested for the weekly visits 

 of the American Bee JotmNAL for 1887, 

 will richly repay every apiarist in America. 



Red Isabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4'/4 inches. — We have now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100 

 tor $1.00 ; 230 for $1.50 ; 500 for $2.00 ; 1,000 

 for $.'<.00 ; all with name and address of 

 apiarist printed on them— by mail, postpaid.

 of the prices named in the last column. 



Slmmlns' Non-Sivarmlng System is 



the title of a new English bee-book. The 

 author claims that it will inaugurate a " new 

 era in modern bee-keeping," and states that 

 "it is based 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. 



More Premiums — Mr. L. J. Dlehl, of 

 Butler, Ind., offers a colony of Italian bees 

 as a present to the person sending to this 

 office the largest club of subscribers 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. 



Yucca BrusUes 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, 

 udd 1 cent each for postage 



Wlien Keneivlng your subscription 

 please try to get your neighbor who keeps 

 bees to join with you in taking the Bei 

 Journal. It is now so cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bee Journal to any one 

 sending us three subscinptions- with t.'i.OO— 

 direct to this office. It irtll pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers.
