Conventions. — The time for holding 

 Bee-Keepers' Conventions has now arrived, 

 and we cannot give any better advice 

 than this : Let each one attend who can 

 do so, and take part in making these meet- 

 ings interesting and instructive. If you 

 have not already obtained the "Bee-Keep- 

 er's Convention Hand-Book," do so at once 

 to post yourself up on how to conduct such 

 meetings correctly. It contains a simple 

 Manual of Parliamentary Law and Rules of 

 Order for the guidance of officers and mem- 

 bers of Local Conventions— Model Consti- 

 tution and By-Laws for a Local Society — 

 Programme for a Convention, with Subjects 

 for Discussion— List of Premiums for Fairs, 

 etc. Bound in cloth, and suitable for the 

 pocket. Price, 50 cents. We will club this 

 book and the American Bee Journal for 

 one year for Sl.2.5. It also contains a lot of 

 blank leaves on which you can note impor- 

 tant matters as they come up. Do not fail 

 to send for a copy of it. 



Simniins' ]>'on-S^varniing Sys- 

 tem.- We have a few of these books left, 

 and we will club them with the American 

 Bee Journal for one year, both postpaid, 

 for $1.25. The subscription to the Bee 

 Journal can be for next year, this year, or 

 may begin anew at any time.
