 food can be given where it is most needed-

 it, containing 15 pounds, for (1.00.

Can ITou Uo Anything that will do 

 more to advance and defend the pursuit of 

 bee-keeping, than to aid its Weekly Ex- 

 ponent and Defender ? The American 

 Bee Journal is the pioneer bee-paper of 

 America, and is fully entitled to the active 

 support of every progressive apiarist, for it 

 works constantly and faithfully for the best 

 interests of the pursuit. We therefore 

 specially request all our readers to use their 

 influence to double our subscription list, 

 during the coming autumn. Reader, will 

 you please send us a new subscription with 

 your renewal or before that time ? A good 

 weekly at one dollar a year is surely cheap 

 enough to command patronage.
