To Dellnqnentm.— After Jan. 1, 1888, 

 we shall discontinue sending the American 

 Bee Journal to those who have not re- 

 sponded to the bills we sent out a few weeks 

 ago. This does not mean that we shall try 

 to deprive any one of the pleasure of read- 

 ing the Bee Joursai. who really desire its 

 continuance, but find It dIfBcult to pay now. 

 Such can get a short extension of time by 

 asking for it. We should be sorry to lose 

 any subscriber who wishes to have Its 

 weekly visits continued, but do not waat 

 any to continue to take It who do not think 

 they are getting the full worth of their 

 money. We are contemplating- many new 

 features and improvements for next year, 

 which we shall mention In detail in future. 



Snreet Clover, (AfeHlotiw 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, 

 at any time of the year. 



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. 



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, Express 

 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. 



Fbotograplis of Bee-Keepers.— We 



have purchased a lot of the " medley " got- 

 ten up by B. O. Tuttle, containing the faces 

 of 131 representative apiarists, and a photo- 

 graphical sketch of each one: and will send 

 it and the Bee Journal for one year for 

 $1.75, or will present 11 free by mail to any 

 one for a club of three subscribers and $3. 



New Subscribers cap obtain the full 

 numbers for 1887 and 1888 for $1.80, as long 

 as we have any sets of 1887 left. There 

 are only a few, and to get them an early 

 application will be necessary. 



System and Success. 



Bf~ All who Intend to be syslematio In 

 their 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) 150 



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. 



Xo Advertisers.— The first number 

 of the Amehican Bef, Journai, for 1888, 

 will be a splendid number for Supply 

 Dealers to make their announcements to 

 the bee-keepers of America. Besides the 

 large regular issue, we shall print thou- 

 sands of extra copies which will be sent 

 out as samples. This will be a rare 

 opportunity for advertisers. In order to 

 obtain space, the copy must be sent at 

 ONCE. For rates see first page of this 

 issue. The number will be illustbated, 

 and will present the finest appearance of 

 any bee-paper in the world. It will be 

 printed from new type, on fine, thick 

 paper, and will contain several extra 

 pages of reading matter. Immediate at- 

 tention will be necessary to secure the 

 rare advantages here offered to advertisers.
