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 S3.50, and it can be obtained at 

 this office. Postage 10 cents extra.

 packing. We can supply all orders now at 

 10 cents per pound. Or a seamless sack of 

 it, containing 15 pounds, for $1.00.

Can You Do Anytliing 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 u.se their 

 influence to double our subscription list 

 during the coming autumn. Reader, will 

 j'ou 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.
