tensive and elaborate experiments have been made upon these points the past season at the Michigan 

 Experiment Apiary, and a report appears in the Oct. Review. Tlie reading t)f tliis report may be a sur- 

 prise to some. The publishing of these reports Is one of the best tilings the Review has ever d(me. lam 

 sincere when I sav that no bee-keeper can afford not to read them. They began in July, and tlie Review 

 will be sent from that time to the end of the year for 75 cts., and with it will be sent the .50-cent book.
