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 tliese 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— 

 Proaramme 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 

 boolc and the American Bee Journal for 

 one year for SI. 3.5. 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. 



Honey and Bees-wax Market. 



Watnre's Way.— This is the title of a 

 15-cent pamphlet entitled, " G. M. Doolit- 

 tle's Method of Rearing Queens "—which is 

 dialled " The nearest approach to Nature's 

 way yet devised." It describes his method, 

 and points out its advantages. For sale at 

 this ofBce. 



Can Ifoii l>o 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 Joubnal 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. 



Al>vays Mention your Post-Office, 

 County and State when writing to this 

 office. No matter where you may happen 

 to be for the hour when actually writing- 

 never mention anything but your perma- 

 nent address. To do otherwise leads to 

 confusion, unless you desire your address 

 changed. In that case state the old as well 

 as the new address.
