^p^ecial Notices, 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 ua 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 Post-Offioe, 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 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 $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 Olfices at reduced rates. Five 

 dollars and under costs now only 5 cents. 

 Afl 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 3x4)4 Inches. — We nave now 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : 100

 rectly. It contains a simple Manual of 

 Parliamentary Law and Rules of Order for

 Discusson— List of Premiums for Fairs, etc.

 the American Bee Journal for one year

Sweet Clover, (MeUlotus 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 ofBce at the 

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

 $1.75 per peck, or 20 cents per pound. 



Enameled Clotb for covering frames,
