GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Oct. 15 



Two Years for $1.00. 



After a man succeeds in publishing- a 

 good journal, the next step is that of getting 

 it into the hands of the people, of getting 

 them to reading it, and becoming acquaint- 

 ed with its merits. This can be done by 

 advertising, sending out sample copies, 

 circulars, etc. All this costs money. I 

 think I am safe in saying that for every 

 new subscriber I have received, I have paid 

 out $2.00 in advertising; hence I have often 

 said that a publisher of a good journal 

 could afford to send his paper one year free, 

 for the sake of getting it into new hands. 

 It would cost no more than other forms of 

 advertising and would be verj^ effective, 

 but, for obvious reasons, this plan could 

 not be put into practice, but I am going to 

 come as near to it as I can. I have between 

 200 and 300 complete sets of back nvimbers 

 for the present year, and as long as the 

 supplj' holds out I will send a complete set, 

 and the rest of this year free, to any one 

 who will send me Si. 00 for the Review for 

 1903. For a few particulars regarding the 

 numbers already published this year, read 

 the following: — 



There is not room here to say very much 

 about the back numbers for this year, but 

 I will mention one prominent feature of 

 each issue. 



fjanuary is a Colorado number; six pages being de- 

 voted to a beautifully illustrated ' write-up, " by 

 the editor, of that paradise for bee- keepers This 

 issue also shows how to make a cheap hive-cover 

 that will neither split, warp, nor leak, in any 

 climate. 



Fehruary contains the beginning of a series of 

 articles by M. A. Gill, who last year managed 700 

 colonies of bees, and produced nearly two carloads 

 of honey. These articles are written from the 

 fullness of his experience. 



miarcli has an article by S. D. Chapman, on "What 

 ISIakes Bees Swarm," that I consider the best I 

 have seen on the subject. It gets rtght down to 

 the foundation of the matter. In fact, so thor- 

 oughly does Mr. Chapman understand the matter 



that he has so made up a colony that one half 

 would swarm, leaving the combs deserted, while 

 the other half would not budge. 



Ajjril ushers in some typographical changes. The 

 smooth, shiny, glazed paper was laid aside for a 

 soft white paper that gives to printing a clean, 

 tasty, tempting look. The frontispieces are print- 

 ed in colors instead of somber black. The cover 

 is of Court Gray printed in two colors — Umber and 

 Milori blue. 



Alay contains a five-page review of a book by IJ. A. 

 Morgan, entitled ''Bee-keeping for Profit." It 

 was rightly named, the author getting right down 

 to basic principles, and giving the chit of profit- 

 able honey production, particularly in the North- 

 ern States 



tJune shows how a man may practically defy foul 

 brood; how he may keep bees in a foul-broody 

 district, all surrounded by diseased colonies, yet 

 keep his apiary so free from it and its effects as to 

 secure a good crop of honey each year. 



<Jiil\' has an excellent article by Mr. Gill on the 

 management of out-apiaries for the production of 

 comb honey, showing how the work must be gen- 

 eralized, yet systematic, and done just a Utile ah^ad 

 of time. 



vlujj-u.st illustrates and describes the handiest and 

 best bee-tent for circumventing robbers that I ever 

 saw. It also has an article by Mr. Boardman on 

 " shook " swarms, showing how we may practical- 

 ly take swarming into our own hands. 



September illustrates and describes a cheap but 

 substantial bee-cellar, built som thing like a cis- 

 tern with a roof over it This issue also gives 

 some of the best papers read at the Denver con- 

 vention, together with a lot of interesting items 

 f icked up at that convention. 



Octoher gives a three-page illustrated write-up of 

 Dr. Gandy and his artificial pasturage. While on 

 his way home from the Denver convention the 

 editor of the Review spent three days with Dr. 

 Gandy, using his eyes, ears, and camera, and this 

 write-up is the result. If you want to know the 

 it uih of the matter, read this issue. 



Remember that each issue contains doz- 

 ens of interesting and instructive items 

 aside from the ones mentioned. 



Send $1.00, and the back numbers for this 

 year will be sent at once, your name put 

 upon the subscription list, and the Review 

 sent to the end of next year.
