To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We nave several letters 

 (gome inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post^Offloe, County 

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

 offlce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Dr. Miller's Book, "A Fear Among 

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

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

 club for only $1.50. 



Tbe Convention History of America 



with a full report of the proceedings of the 

 Detroit and Indianapolis conventions, and 

 the American Bee Journal for one year, 

 will be clubbed for $1.25. 



As tbere is Anotber 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. 



We "will 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. 



Tncca Brusbes are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 80ft, 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 centa a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 odd 1 cent each for postage. 



OUR CLUBBING LIST. 



We supply the American Bee Jonrnal 



one year, and any of the following publica- 

 tions, at the prices quoted in the last column 

 of figures. The first column gives the regu 

 lar price of both. All postage prepaid.

Slmmlns' Non-SwarmIng 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

 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."

 illustrated. Price 50 cents. It can now be
