System and Success. 



^^ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Keg-ister and commence to use it. 

 the prices are reduced, as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) f] GO 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 25 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 150 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



fB~ Sample Copies of the Bee Joubnal 

 win be sent rKEE upon application. Any one 

 Intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview, by sending the names to this office, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



As tbere 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 olBce. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



Slmmlns' Non-SYvarmliig 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 

 "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.
