To Correspondents. — It would save 

 UB much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 dome Inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offlce, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one po8t> 

 office and get your mall 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 

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " on the envelope when writing to 

 this office. Several letters of ours have 

 filready 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. 



Money Orders can now be obtained at 

 the Poet 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. 



Red liabels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4.M 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 for $2.00 ; 1,000 

 for $.1.00 ; all with name and address of 

 apiarist printed on them— by mail, postpaid. 



Do yon Want a Farm Account Book ? 

 We have a few left, and make you a very 

 ttmpting 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 tor a year and give 

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

 mall, add 20 cents for postage. 



Yucca Bru»»hes are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable Htier, 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, 

 odd 1 cent each tor postage. 



By Using the Binder made expressly 

 tor this Bee Jocrnal, all can have them 

 bound and ready for examination every day 

 in the year. We have reduced the price to 

 60 cents, postpaid. Subscription for one 

 year and the binder for $1.50. 



We Supply Chapman Honey-Plant seed 

 at the following prices : One-half ounce, 50 

 cents ; 1 ounce, $1 ; 2 ounces, $1.50 ; 4 

 ounces, $2 ; i4 pound, $3 ; 1 pound, $5. One 

 pound of seed is sufficient for half an acre, 

 if properly thinned out and re-set. 



Enameled Cloth for covering frames, 

 price per yard, 45 inches wide, 20 cents ; if a 

 whole piece of 12 yards is taken, $2.25 ; 10 

 pieces, $20,00 ; if ordered by mail, send 15

 will be sent free upon application. Any one 

 Intending to get up a club can have sample

SImmlns' Non-S^varming 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.
