^ptcml ^0tii:jes, 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 lU much trouble, if aU would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (gome Inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Office, County 

 or State. Also, If you live near one postr 

 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. 



Preserre your Papers fer reference. 

 If you have no BINDER we will mall you 

 one for 60 cents, or you can have one trex 

 if you will send us 3 new yearly subscrip- 

 tlons 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 Journal, and will send two or 

 mere free of cost to any one who will use 

 them, and try to get up a club. 



We win Present Webster's Dictionary 

 (pocket edition), and send it by mail, post- 

 paid, for two subscribers with S2. 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 Jouknal for a year, 

 will richly repay every apiarist in America. 



Red liabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3xm inches. — We have now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100 

 for $1.00 ; 250 for$1.50 ; 500 forfS.OO ; 1,000 

 for $.1.00 ; all with name and address of 

 iq>lari8t printed on them— by mall, postpaid. 



System and Success. 



t^~ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 the prices are reduced, as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 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. 



Iieaflet No. 2, entitled "Alsike Clover 

 for Pasturage and Hay," is now ready for 

 delivery. This should be scattered into 

 every neighborhood, In order to induce 

 farmers to plant Alsike, that the bees may 

 have the advantage of it for pasturage. We 

 send them by mail 50 copies for 30 cents ; 

 100 for 50 cents ; 500 for $2.25— all post> 

 paid. It will pay bee-keepers to scatter 

 these Leaflets, even if 9 out of 10 avail 

 nothing. If ten farmers out of a hundred 

 plant Alsike in any neighborhood, the bees 

 will reap a very substantial reward. 



Ttae Convention History of America 



with a full report of the proceedings of the 

 Detroit and Indianapolis conventions, and 

 the American Bee Joubnai, for one year, 

 will be clubbed for $1.25. 



Ttae Production of Comb Honey, as 



practiced and advised by W. Z. Hutchinson, 

 can be obtained at this office, for 25 cts.

 Intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to In- 

 terview, by Bending the names to this office, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



As there 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 office. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



Do you Want a Farm Account Book ? 

 We have a few left, and make you a v^ry 

 tempting offer. It contains 166 pages, is 

 printed on writing paper, ruled and bound, 

 and the price is $3. We will club it and the 

 Weekly Bee Journal for a year and give 

 you both for $2. If you want it sent by 

 mail, add 20 cents for postage. 



Slmmlns' Non-Snrarmlng 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.

Ifucca 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 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, 

 add t cent each for postage.
