THE BEE-KEEPERS' 



REVIEW! 



About Jan. 10, 188S, we expect to begin the publi- 

 cation of a Iti-pagf! monthly under the above title. 

 As indicated by its name, one of its distinctive 

 features will be the revicicingof ciirrentapicultural 

 literature. Errors and fallncious ideas will be 

 faithfully but courteously pointed out, while noth- 

 ing valuable will be passed unnoticed. But few 

 articles will be copied entire; hut the ideas will be 

 extracted, given in the fewest words possible, and 

 commented upon when thought advisable. Another 

 feature will be that of making each number, to a 

 certain extent, what might bo termed a special 

 number. For instance, a large share of the corres- 

 pondence, extracts, and editorials of the first num- 

 ber will be devoted to the subject of "Disturbing 

 Bees in Winter." Our own apiary will, hereafter, be 

 largely experimental, and of this our readers will 

 have the benefit. 



The price of the Review will bo 50 cts. per year; 

 and, while we have not the slightest objection to 

 receiving the subscription in advance, our only re- 

 quest is that each one interested will send his ad- 

 dress, and allow Uncle Sam to hand him a cojjy of 

 the first issue as soon as it is printed. 



THE PRODUCTION OF COMB HONEY. 



A neat little book of 45 pages; price 25 cts. The 

 Review and this book for 65 cts. Stamps taken, 

 either U. S. or Canadian. Address

KIND WORDS FROM OUK CUSTOMERS. 



I must say a few woi-ds of appreciation of the 

 Home department In Gleanings. That part is al- 

 ways read first when Gleanings comes, and I think 

 it (iocs us more good than to listen to a sermon. 

 May God bless you, friend Root, in your noble work 

 of thus bringing sinners to repentance, and Chris- 

 tians to a closer walk with God. I would not do 

 without Gleanings for three times its price. 



Tantha, Mo., Nov. 28, 1887. Mrs. E. C. Harper. 



I receive Gleanings regularly, and read it with 

 much profit. I consider it almost indispensable 

 to modern apicultui-e. I am. also, one of your 

 ABC pupils, having purchased a couple of swarms 

 in June, that were obtained by dividing, and have 

 depended upon your ABC book for information. 

 They are in perfect condition for wintering, not- 

 withstanding the unfavorable circumstances at- 

 tending them — the lateness of the swarms, the 

 excessive drought, and early frosts. G. Smith. 



Alpha, O., Oct. 24, 1887. 



the home talks. 



When I read your article on carp culture in 

 Gleanings, Oct. 15, it gave me the carp-fever as 

 bad as I ever had the bee-fever. I went to work 

 almost immediately to see where and how I could 

 make one. I sujipose if you could see it you would 

 call it a hole in the ground, instead of a pond. It is 

 not done yet. I have been working at it to day. I 

 find they "are not made in a day. 



Before I close I must say something about 

 Gleanings. T can say, 1 think it is the best book 

 or paper 1 ever saw published. When I go to get 

 my mail, and 1 think Gleanings should be there, 

 aiid it is not, 1 always feel disappointed, for I love 

 to read it, especially Our Homes, and those who 

 send in their testimony for Christ. It does me 

 much good. It is only lately that I gave my whole 

 heart to God, and 1 owe much of it to reading 

 Gleanings. Somehow your talk seemed to have 

 more effect on me than even a sermon from our 

 preacher— it all is so simple, and yet so true. I pray 

 that God may bless you in your good work, and 

 give you many years yet to work in his vineyard. 

 How i wish I could see you, and talk with you! I 

 feel that it would do me much good. I ask you to 

 remember me in your prayers, so if we do not 

 meet in this world we may meet in heaven.
