To Correspondents. — It would save 

 iu much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (some Inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no PostrOflace, 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 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 ofBce. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other Arm (a commission 

 house), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



'We wrlll 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 Post Offices at reduced rates. Five 

 dollars and under costs now only 5 cents. 

 Ab 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.

 honey, size 3x4i4 inches. — We have now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100

System and Success. 



1^ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 the prices are reduced, aa follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 125 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 1 50 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



Sweet Clover, (Melilotus alba), furnishes 

 the most reliable crop of honey from July 

 until frost, and at the same time it furnishes 

 the most delicious honey, light in color, and 

 thick in body. It may be sown in waste 

 places, fence corners, or on the roadside. 

 Sow two years running, on the same land, 

 and the honey crop will be without inter- 

 mission. Money invested In Sweet Clover 

 Seed will prove a good investment. The 

 Seed may be obtained at this office at the 

 following prices: $6.00 per bushel (60 lbs.); 

 $1.75 per peck, or 20 cents per pound. 



Enameled Cloth for covering frames,

Back Numbers of the Bee Journal for

 new subscribers want them, they should 

 order them soon, or we may not be able to 

 supply them. Last fall we had to refuse 

 many applications for them, as they were 

 all gone in September. Say so at once, if 

 you want them. 



Colored Posters for putting up over 

 honey exhibits at Fairs are quite attractive, 

 as well as useful. We have prepared some

 them, and try to get up a club.

Don't do It !— Notwithstanding our many- 

 cautions, some persons still persists in send- 

 ing silver in letters. In nine cases out of 

 ten it will break the envelope and be either 

 lost or stolen. Cases come to light nearly 

 every day, showing that silver sent in 

 letters stops somewhere on the way. It is 

 an invitation to the thief— a regular temp- 

 tation ! If you wish to safely send money, 

 get a Post-Office Money Order, Expresft 

 Order, or Bank Draft on Chicago or New 

 York. When money is sent in either of the 

 above-named ways, it is at our risk. In any- 

 other manner, it is at the risk of the sender.
