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 otBce. We have several letters 

 (some Inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post>Offlce, County 

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

 offloe and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Aa tbere Is Anotber firm in Chicago by 

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

 correspondents would write " American Bee 

 Journal " ou the envelope when writing to 

 this office. Several letters of ours have 

 already gone to the other firm (a commission 

 houee), causing vexatious delay and trouble. 



We «rtll 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 3 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. 



Bed Labels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4^ inches. — We nave now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 lupply them at the following prices : 100 

 tor $1.00 ; 250 for $1.50 ; 500 for $2.00 : 1,000

System and Snccess. 



t» All who intend to be systematic In 

 thf ir work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use It. 

 the prices are reduced, as 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. 



Siveet Clover, iMcUMus 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: $fi. 00 per bushel (60 lbs.); 

 $1.75 per peck, or 20 cents per pound. 



Enameled Cloth for covering frames, 

 price per yard, 4.t 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

 many applications for them, as they were 

 all gone in September. Say so at once. If

 Saturday, at 2:.30 a.m., fire was discovered 

 In our shop and store. The alarm was 

 given, and all was done that could be done,

 toll to us. 



I want to say through the American Bee 

 Journal, that we will be unable to fill any 

 more orders this season for any goods 

 except BEES and QUEENS, for which we 

 should be thankful to recive orders.
