 Such will create a demand in any locality at 

 remunerative prices. See list on the second 

 page of this paper. 



■W^ty Advertise in the Asierican 

 Bee Journal ? Here are some good 

 reasons : 



1. Because it has a large and influential 

 circulation in every State and Territory, 

 Canada, and other foreign countries. 



3. Because it is well-printed, and an ad- 

 vertisement in it appears neat and attrac- 

 tive, and invites a reading. 



3. Because it reaches just the class of 

 persons desired— professional men, lawyers, 

 doctors,and the best of the rural population. 



4. The rates are low as possible, and tlie 

 returns from advertisements are satisfac- 

 tory. 



It is Extravag-ant Economy not 



to have hives, sections, comb foundation, 

 etc., on hand when needed. To prevent 

 disappointment, order early what you will 

 need in that line. Then the hives can be 

 nailed and painted in odd times, and the 

 sections put together, so as to be ready at a 

 minute's notice. It is a sad disappointment 

 to need these things and then not have 

 them on hand. They should be ordered 

 very soon. We are promised an early 

 spring, and a good honey crop. 



Give a Copy of " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " to every one who buys a package 

 of honey. It will sell lots of it. 



Look Over last year's numbers of the 

 Bee Journal, and if any are missing, 

 send for them at once, as we have but few 

 left now, and they are daily becoming less. 



A Pocket Dictionary will be pre- 

 sented for two subscribers with $3.00. It is 

 always useful to have a dictionary at hand 

 to decide as to the spelling of words, and to 

 determine their meaning. 



ITticca Bruslies, for removing bees 

 from the combs, are a soft, vegetable fiber, 

 and do not irritate tlie bees. We supply 

 them at 5 cents each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if 

 sent by mail, add 1 cent each for postage.

 ounce, 40 cents ; 4 ounces, $1 ; >^ pound, 

 $1.75 ; 1 pound, $3. One pound of seed is 

 sufficient for half an acre, If properly 

 thinned out and re-set.
