To Correopondeiits. — It would save 

 ni muoli trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (Bome inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offlce, County 

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

 office and got your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Am 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. 



■We will 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. 



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.

Yacca Brusbes 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, 

 odd 1 cent each for postage. 



By Using tbe Binder made expressly 

 for this Beb Joubnal, all can have them

Slmmlns' Non-Sframiing 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."
