To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 wrltingto this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing" money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Office, County 

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

 ofBce 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. 



PreserTe yonr Papers lor 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. 



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 two or 

 morQ free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club. 



Vfe Trill Present Webster's Dictionary 

 (pocket 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 Journal for 1887, 

 will richly repay every apiarist in America. 



Red Isabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4J4 inches. — We have now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100 

 for Jl.OO ; 250 for $1.50 ; 500 for $2.00 ; 1,000 

 for J.'t.OO ; all with name and address of 

 apiarist printed on them— by mall, postpaid.

More Premiums.— Mr. L. J. Diehl, of 

 Butler, Ind., offers a colony of Italian bees 

 as a present to the person sending to this 

 ofHce 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. 



Vncca 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 mall, 

 odd I cent each for postage 



When Renewing your subscription 

 please try to get your neighbor who keeps 

 bees to Join with you In taking the Bkb 

 Journal. It is now so cheap that no one 

 can atCord to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bek Journal to any one 

 sending us three subscriptions— with $3.00 — 

 direct to this office. It ^vill pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers.
