GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



267 



NOT A PARROT. 



A parrot simply repeats. The Bee-keei>ertt' Review 

 does repeat some of the good things to be found in the 

 other journals, but it does more— it comments upon 

 them. Each article is appropriately introduced; the 

 reason given why it is considered worthy of produc- 

 tion; and, at its close, the salient points are enlarged 

 upon, praised or condemned, as the otcaslon demands, 

 and additional thouehts. views, and experiences given 

 at length. Sometimes a short extract does little more 

 than 



FURNISH A TEXT 



for a long editorial. In this way the extracted de- 

 partment is raised from a mere parrot-like repetition 

 of what appears in other journals to one that has life, 

 personality, and vim. 



All of the journals are carefully read, and every 

 thing of any importance is noticed in some way. Often 

 the 



KERNEL OF A LONG ARTICLE 



can be given in a short editorial. Sometimes an arti- 

 cle can be condensed, or a few paragraphs given, ac- 

 companied by editorial comment, and all be made 

 clear. Occasionally an article must be given entire in 

 order to do the subject justice, but some comment or 

 criticism may add greatly to its value. 



Years ago Mr. Heddon used to say that, if some one 

 in whom he had confidence could read all of the bee- 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



journals, select the articles that were of real value, 

 and gather them together into one journal, he would 

 gladly 



PAY TEN DOLLARS 



for such a journal. This is exactly what the Review 

 does, at least it gives, in some form, all that is most 

 valuable in all of the journals— hence its name. 



A man who is making a business of bee-keeping 

 ought to read all of the bee-journals; but if only one 

 journal is to be taken, then the Eeciew fills the bill 

 most completely. 



If you wish to see how completely the Review covers 

 the whole apicultural field, yet how far it is removed 

 from a mere parrot-like repetition, just try it for one 

 year. It will cost only $1 00, and all of the back num- 

 bers for 1907 will be sent/>«e, in the bargain. In other 

 words for $1 00 you can get the Review for 1907 and 

 19CH; and when you have sent your dollar, and received 

 the back numbers, look them over carefully; and if 

 you would then rather have 



YOUR DOLLAR BACK 



than to have the Review keep on coming for the rest 

 of the year, just drop me a postal and I'll return the 

 money, and you may keep the back numbers, and wel- 

 come.
