by a thumb-screw. The cap screws securely 

 on. It is easy to regulate— either a spoonful 

 or a quart — and that amount can be given 

 in an hour or a day, as desired. By it the 

 food can be given where it is most needed- 

 just over the cluster. Not a drop need be 

 lost, and no robber bees can get at it. A 

 single one can be had for 40 cents, or a 

 dozen for $3.50, and it can be obtained at 

 this office. Postage 10 cents extra. 



Cork for 'Winter Packing.— Its 



advantages are that it never becomes musty, 

 and it is odorless. Cushions can be made 

 of cloth and filled with the cork, for winter 

 packing. We can supply all orders now at 

 10 cents per pound. Or a seamless sack of 

 it, containing 15 pounds, for $1.00.

 Bee Journal. It is now so cheap that 

 no one can afford to do without it. 



Can You i>o Anytliing that will do 

 more to advance and defend the pursuit of 

 bee-keeping, than to aid its Weekly Ex- 

 ponent and Defender ? The A.merican 

 Bee Journal is the pioneer bee-paper of 

 America, and is fully entitled to the active 

 support of every progressive apiarist, lor it 

 works constantly and faithfully for the best 

 interests of the pursuit. We therefore 

 specially reque.st all our readers to use their 

 influence to double our subscription list 

 during the coniiug 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.
