NATIONAL BEE JOURNAL — MRS. ELLEN S. TUPPER, 

 Editor and Proprietor. Devoted exclusively to Bee culture. Two Dollars 

 a Year. The National Bee Journal is issued on the loth of each month, 

 eon tains sixty-four pages, printed on fine paper, in neat, clean type, and 

 for the year 1874 has been greatly improved. Mrs. Tupper, having pur- 

 chased the Journal, has removed it to Des Moines, Iowa, where it will 

 hereafter be published under her own supervision. She will write for 

 no other publication but her own, and in that she will give the result of 

 that long practical experience which has placed her among the best, if 

 not the best, authorities in this country on the honey bee. 



Arrangements have been made with prominent bee keepers in this and 

 foreign count ries, for timely articles eaeli month, upon important topics. 



A special department has been assigned to " Notes and Queries," in 

 which the various questions which arise in the practical experience of 

 bee keepers each month, will be given, with pertinent answers by the 

 editor. These will be condensed into the smallest possible space, and will 

 be one of the most interesting features of the Journal. 



The Journal will keep entirely clear of all entangling alliances with 

 patent rights of whatever nature, and will be independent in the expres- 

 sion of its opinions. It will aim to be reliable, give only such information 

 as will be of practical utility to its patrons, discarding theories and mis- 

 leading propositions. 



A limited spade is devoted to advertising, which will be given to un- 

 objectionable notices, at fair rates; and the large and rapidly increasing 

 circulation of the Journal makes it a valuable advertising medium. 



For circulars, containing club rates, premiums, advertising rates, etc., 

 address MRS. E. S. TUPPER, Des Moines, Iowa.

 I was appointed by the American Poultry Association to get the latest 

 revised Standard printed and bound, I have the best opportunity to get 

 them at the earliest moment from the binder, and shall act as their agent.
