GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Why the Price is High. 



The Bee-keepers' Beview enjoys the distinction of be- 

 ing sold at the highest proportionate price of any 

 bee-journal published in this country, and 



There is a "Reason." 



It has no connection whatever with any supply 

 trade, or any other business, and must depend, for its 

 existence, solely upon the profits that accrue from its 

 publication. Of course its editor might take up the 

 supply trade, but his tastes are not in that direction, 

 and he prefers to keep his mind wholly unbiased by 

 the influence of trade. 



Then, again, the Review has become what might be 

 called 



The Specialist's Journal; 



that is, it appeals most strongly to the man who is 

 keeping bees to make money; hence it can never hope 

 for more than a moderate subscription list. 

 For this reason it 



Can't be Published at Less 



than its present price; but the man who really needs 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



it, the one who is keeping bees as a business, as a 

 specialty, or even as a money-making side-issue, is 

 only too glad to get the paper even at $1.00; as the 

 knowledge thereby gained brings to him many dol- 

 lars in the course of a year. 



Once a bee-keeper of this class reads the Review a 

 year or two, he is almost certain to keep on reading 

 it; and it is to induce a man to give it this trial that 

 I sometimes make 



Special Offers. 



Just now I have about 200 complete sets left of the 

 back numbers for 1907 that I will send free, as long as 

 they last, to new subscribers for 1908. The informa- 

 tion in these issues is just as valuable now as when 

 first published. Send $1.00 and you will get the Re- 

 view for 1907 and 1908. This will be only 50 cents a 

 year, and, when your time is out, if you don't care to 

 renew, we can part as friends, and do barm done. 

 For $2.00 you can get the Review for 1907 and 1908 and 

 the book Advanced Bee Culture. Book alone, $1.20.

SQUABS 



FOR PROFIT 



By William E. Rice and William E. Cox 



This is the most complete and e.^ihaustive work 

 of the kind ever published on squab raising. It 

 is not a book of second-hand references, but con- 

 tains the hard-earned experiences of the authors. 

 Every detail of their methods of selecting, breed- 

 ing, feeding, killing, and marketing squabs is 

 given in plain, simple language, with numerous 

 illustrations, all taken from the home plant of 

 Mr. Rice in New Jersey. The chapter on build- 

 ings, their location, and how to construct them 

 is concise, specific, and complete. 



The squab industry is increasing rapidly. This 

 book is a guide for those who want to know, 

 and a standard reference work for the old-time 

 breeder. It is not based on mere theory, but 

 contains the true story of the most successful 

 squab plant in this country. The story of how 

 $50, the original investment, has grown to $.3,000, 

 is fully given by Mr. Kice. He took the money 

 made by the squabs, enlarged and developed his 

 plant, until it is now complete. 



The illustrations are simply superb. They were 

 taken especially for this work. The plants and 

 specifications for buildings, etc., are as complete 

 as an expert architect could make them. The 

 book contains about 150 pages, each 5x7 laches, 

 printed on fine paper. Bound in cloth and sent 

 postpaid for 50 cents.
