To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, If all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (gome Inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offlce, County 

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

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



As there Is Another firm in Chicago by 

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

 oorrespondents 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.

 always useful to have a dictionary at hand 

 to decide as to the spelling of words, and to 

 determine their meaning.

 the Post Offices at reduced rates. Five

Vucca BriishoD are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They area 

 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 

 ean 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. 

 udd 1 cent each for postage.

Slinmlns' Non-Swarmlng System is 



the title of a new English bee-book. The 

 author claims that itwill inaugurate a *' new 

 era in modera 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."

 illustrated. Price 50 cents. It can now be

W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



Rogersville, Genesee Co., Mich., 



DESIRES to call attention to the typograph- 

 ical neatness and " get up " of his little book, 



"THE PRODUCTION OF COMB HONEY." 



It is printed from new type (brevier); the mat- 

 ter leaded; the paper is heavy, delicately tinted 

 and super-calendered; and the press-work is a 

 " credit tn the craft."' But it is the cover, which Is 

 bright-yellow card-board passed through u comb 

 foundation mill, that has brought forth the most 

 enthusiastic enconiums. The work is very nicely 

 done, and. at the first glance, the cover would 

 almost be taken for foundation ; while the beauti- 

 ful twig of basj^wood upon the back of the cover 

 and the artistic lettering upon the front, printed 

 as they are upon a corrugated surface— all com- 

 bine to give the book a peculiarly neat and tasty 

 appearance?. 



Dr. A. B. Mason writes : — The cover is nice, 

 printing ^M)'. and contents Qvand. 



Dr. C. C. Miller says :— Nothing less than a genius 

 would have gotten up thilt cover. 



E. Kretchnier says:- It is a surprise, in style of 

 workmanship. Nothing could be added to im- 

 prove it. 



LiOuis Werner write8:—It is the beet bee-book I 

 ever had, and I do not see how you can print such 

 a neat book for so small a price. 



James Heddon writes:- ITour book is a "dandy " 

 The "get up'* is nowhere equaled. You have out- 

 done us alf on the book problem, and I am glad 

 of it. 



Chas. Dadant & Son write:~The book is at hand, 

 and though we do not agree with all it contains, 

 we must say that it is as neat and tastefully gotten 

 up as anything we ever saw. 



The liee-Keepers' Magazine says:— "The Produc- 

 tion of Comb Honey " is the title of a unique little 

 work of 46 pages, by the pen of "NV. Z. Hutchinson- 

 Mr. Hutchinson struck a happy idea when he de- 

 signed the cover of his work. 



Prof. Cook offered congratulations again and 

 again, saying: -It is dectledly the most unique lit- 

 tle thing I have seen in along time. Why, that 

 cover alone ought to sell it, to say nothing of the 

 good things inside. 



The above arc fair specimens of scores of siml 

 lar testimonials that 1 have recieved, unsolicited. 



tMT Reader, if you wish to see a little typo- 

 graphical " gem," send 25 cents for, " The Produc 

 tion of Comb Honey.''— Stamps taken ; either U. S 

 or Canadian. 25Atf
