If tliew is anyone thing more than anotlier that has made the Review what it is, 

 it is its discussion of "Special Topics;" the g-atheiing- tog-ether in one number of the 

 best tliat is known, of the hitest views of tlie best men upon some special topic. Like 

 a lens, the Review brings together the lines of thought, and so illumines the subject 

 tliatitcanbe clearly seen and understood. While many of the most important sub- 

 jects have been thus discussed, new ones are continually coming up, and some new 

 discovery often puts an old idea in a new light, hence the Review will always find a 

 fruitful field in the discussions of special topics. 



In the main, the contents of our bee-journals are made up of original matter. From 

 the very nature of the case, the value of this matter greatly varies. Many bee-keepers 

 can not afford to take more than one journal, neither have they the time to read all of 

 tlie journals, and to be able to find all of the most valuable matter of all the journals 

 brought together, condensed, reviewed and criticised, is a blessing to the busy man, 

 and to the one who "(;an afford only one journal." To thus furnish the cream of the 

 other journals is the province of the Review. 



The West is a great and growing country, and its bee-keeping industry is keeping 

 pace with its other magnificent industries; but its bee-keeping is different fi'om that 

 (if the East, and it is witli a view to makingothe Review ofumore interest to the bee- 

 keepers of this section that the services of Jno. H. Martin (better known as Rambler) 

 have been engaged to write a series of articles upon "Tlie Bee-keeping of the West, 

 its Needs and Necessities." He will not only describe Western bee-keeping, Itut will 

 endeavor to point out its mistakes, and make his articles peculiarly helpful to West- 

 ern bee-keepei's. 



R. L. Taylor, of Lapeer, Mich., is a specialist of large experience, who seems to have 

 the ability to secure large crops of honey with very little labor— this, too, in the face 

 of the faci that he has had foul bro(Kl to contend with. His decisions upon apicultural 

 matters have been almost phenomenally eorrectr During the leisure of this winter he 

 will prepare a series of articles for the Review, giviiig its readers the benefit of his 

 experience, each article being written with a view to giving advice that will be appli- 

 cable to the months in which it is to be printed. 



B. E. Hasty needs no introduction. No other apicultural writer approaches him in 

 bright, (juaint, original expressions. Coupled with this is a tlioi'ough knowledge of 

 practical bpe culture, and he is to use these two accomplishments the coming year in 

 helping to make tlie "Extracted Department" of the Review. He is to read all of the 

 journals, and then criticise their contents in that inimitable way of his. The Review 

 is also to come in for its share of criticism. Probably no feature of the Review for 

 1898 will be more interesting or profitable than " Hasty's Review." 



The Review strives most earnestly to stand in the front'rank; to publish advanced 

 ideas before they have become a matter of history; to be interesting, enterprising, 

 wide awake, up with the times, and brimful of ideas that are esiiecially helpful to the 

 honey-producer. 



The Review is fl.t'O a year; but if any one wishes, before sul)s<'ril)ing. to see with 

 his own eyes what kind of a journal it is, let him send 10 cents in staipps, and three 

 late but different issues will be sent, and with them will be sent a sheet showing the 

 portraits of neai'ly a dozen of its contributors (among them that of the editor), together 

 with a list of the special topics that have been discussed, the numbers in which they 

 may be found, and the prices at which they may be obtained; a pi'oposition will also be 

 made whereby these back numbers may be secured at half-pri<i\
