Special ^jotites. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 UB much trouble. If all would be particular 

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

 wrltlngto this office. We have several letters 

 (acme inclosing money) that have no name ; 

 many others having no Post-Offlce, 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. 



Dr. Miller's Book, "A Tear Among 

 the Bees " (75 cts.), and the Bee Journal 

 for one year ($1.00), both of which we will 

 club for only SI. 50. 



Tbe Convention History of America 



with a full report of the proceedings ©f the 

 Detroit and Indianapolis conventions, and 

 the American Bee Jobtinal for one year, 

 will be clubbed for $1.25. 



As tbere Is Another Arm in Chicago by 

 the name of " Newman & Son," we wish our 

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " ou the envelope when writing to 

 this ofBce. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



W^e TivllI 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. 



Yncca Bmsbes 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, 

 iirid 1 cent each for postage.

 author claims that itwill inaugurate a " new 

 era in modern bee-keeping," and states that 

 "it is based upon purely natural principles,

 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."
