Supplement to Gleanings for Jan. 1, 1909r^ 



Index for Vol. XXXVI of Gleanings in 



Bee Culture. 



9 



In using this index the reader should not fail to note that it is divided into five departments, 

 namely, General Correspondence, Editorials, A. I. Root's writings, Contributors, and Illustrations. 

 The whole index has been prepared with great care. Sonjetimes two and even three catch-headings will 

 be found, referring to the same general subject. The purpose of tnis cross-indexing is to facilitate 

 reference. If the reader does not find the subject he desires under one head, let him think, of some 

 other catch-heading and try that, and so on. If not found in the General Correspondence try Edi- 

 torials or Illustrations. Subjects are never indexed under the words A, An, The, Hozv, etc. Always 

 look for some important catch-word that comprehends the thought or discussion. 



Editorials are indexed separately, as they relate to prices, current items, announcements, and 

 the general scope of current discussion. 



The index of Illustrations will be found especially valuable from the fact that most of the im- 

 portant articles have cuts. By looking for the cut under this index one will be able to locale the sub- 

 ject he seeks. 



Owing to the fact that our index for this year is very complete we have been compelled to run 

 the headings in. While this is not quite as handy as the line-for-line scheme, we are compelled to 

 adopt it on account of a lack of room.
