 address that we have on our list. 



Crive a Copy of " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " to every one who buys a package 

 of honey. It will sell lots of it. 



If yoH t.ose Money by carelessly en- 

 closing it in a letter, it is without excuse, 

 when a Money Order, which is perfectly 

 safe, costs but 5 cents. 



JPiire Phenol Ibr Foul Brood.— 



Calvert's No. 1 phenol, mentioned in Che- 

 shire's pamphlet on pages 16 and 17, can be 

 procured at this office at 25 cents per ounce. 

 Not being mailable, it must go by express.

reference. If you have no mi^OER we 

 will mail you one for 60 cents ; or you can 

 have one FREE, if you will send us 3 new 

 yearly subscriptions tor the Bee Joubnai,. 



Yucca Brushes, for removing bees 

 from the combs, are a soft, vegetable fiber, 

 and do not irritate the bees. We supply 

 them at 5 cents each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if 

 sent by mail, add 1 cent each for postage. 



Please -wTite American Bee Jmvmal 

 on the envelope when writing to this office. 

 Several of our letters have already gone to 

 another firm (a commission house), causing 

 vexatious delay and trouble. 



A Home Market for honey can be 

 made by judiciously distributing the 

 pamphlets, " Honey as Food and Medicine.'' 

 Such will create a demand in any locality at 

 remunerative prices. See list on the second 

 page of this paper.

Hasting^s* Perfection Feeder. — 



This excellent Feeder will hold 2 quarts, 

 and the letting down of the feed is regulated 

 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.

 useful to have a dictionary at hand to decide

advantages are that it never becomes musty, 

 and it is odorless. Cushions can be made 

 of cloth and filled with the cork, for winter

 it, containing 15 pounds, for $1.00.

 of the advertising columns of the Ameri-

We got more orders from our advertise- 

 ment in the American Bee Journal than 

 from all the other bee-papers put together. 

 We shall advertise in it again next year.
