 more free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club.

More Premiums.— Mr. L. J. Diehl, of 

 Butler, Ind., otters a colony of ItaKan 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 Brushes 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 indestruotable. 

 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 

 Bold, 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, 

 add 1 cent each for postage
