Supplement to Gleanings for January 1, 1910 



Index to Gleanings in Bee Culture 



Volume XXXVII 



In usiner this index the reader should not fail to note that it is divided into five departments, namely, Gen- 

 eral Correspondence, Editorials, A. I. Root's Writings, Contributors, and Illustrations. The whole index has 

 been prepared with great care. Sometimes two and even three catch-headings will be found, referring to the 

 same general subject. The purpose of this 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 Editorials or Illustrations. Subjects are never indexed under the 

 words A, An, Tlie. How, etc. 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 important arti- 

 cles have cuts. By looking for the cut under this index one will be able to locate the subject he seeks. 



Owing to the fact that our index 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 for lack of room.
