What shall the new j^ear bring to thee ? 



Silver and gold ? 

 Freedom from toil's grim bondage ? 



Pleasures untold ? 

 Riches or love or laurels ? 



What e'er to thy lot be sent, 

 God grant the new year'll bring thee 

 Peace and a heart content ! 



"A Happy New Year " to you. Here 

 we are, as bright as a new shining dollar, 

 making our bow to you, dear reader. It 

 is the same "old reliable" American 

 Bee Journal, but in a new dress of 

 beautiful clear type, and with words as 

 cheery and hopeful as ever, ready to 

 begin another year of toil, and to enjoy 

 with you the sweet counsel which has 

 existed for over 17 years. Here is our 

 m^". Let us "shake," and journey on 

 together for another year. 



To Show Appreciation for the good 

 work we have done in the past, please to 

 call the attention of your friends to our 

 Journal, and ask them to partake of 

 the feast with you for 1891, 



1891. — It is 30 years ago to-day since 

 the American Bee Journal was born — 

 the first issue bearing date of January, 

 1861. Then it stood alone, as the only 

 representative of apicultural literature— 

 now it has many companions and helpers. 

 On this, its 30th natal day, it salutes 

 them all, as a parent caresses children, 

 wishing them wealth and prosperity. 



White Clover Honey is now in good 

 demand almost everywhere. 



Now is the time to join the National 

 Bee-Keepers' Union. Send to this office 

 for the necessary Blanks. 



Correspondence on bee-matters is 

 solicited. If you have anything worth 

 writing about, send it along. 



The Character and labors of the Bee 

 Journal for the past 30 years are the 

 best guarantee we can offer for the 

 future. The liberal patronage of the 

 past, shows that our efforts have been 

 appreciated. Such speak more eloquently 

 than words can ex])ress. 



Several bee-periodicals have not put 

 in an appearance at this office for 

 months. What is the matter ? Are they 

 among the dead or dying ? Among them 

 we may mention the Western Apiarian, 

 the Nebraska Bee-Keeper, and the White 

 Mountain Apiarist. Send them along, 

 friends, if they are still published. We 

 want to review them all. 



Silo and Silag'e, by Prof. A. J. Cook, 

 price 25 cents, is on our desk. It is a 

 pamphlet of 50 pages, and nicely illus- 

 trated. More than 20,000 copies of it 

 have been sold in less than two years. 

 The Silo is a grand thing for the farmers. 

 Prof. Cook has proved all that he states 

 in his book, on his own farm. It is 

 thoroughly practical, and every farmer 

 should have a copy. It is for sale at this 

 office.
