Two Years for $1.00 



After a man succeeds in publishing a good 

 journal the next step is tnat of getting it 

 into the hands of the people, of getting them 

 to reading it, and becoming acquainted 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 say- 

 ing that for every new subscriber I have re- 

 ceived, I have paid out $2.00 in advertising; 

 hence I have often said that a publisher ot 

 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 very ef- 

 fective, but, for obvious reasons, this plan 

 could not be put into practice, but I am go- 

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

 ebtween 200 and 300 complete sets of back 

 numbers for the present year, and as long as 

 the supnly holds out I will send a complete 

 set, and the rest of this year free, to any 

 one who will send me $1.00 lor 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 

 •bout the back numbers for this year, but I 

 will mention one prominent feature of each 

 issue. 



JANUARY is a Colorado number; six pages 

 being devoted to a beautifully illustrated 

 "write-up," by the editor, of that para- 

 dise for bee-keepers. This issue also shows 

 how to make a cheap hive-cover that will 

 neither split, warp, nor leak, in any cli- 

 mate. 



FEBRUARY 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 arc written from the full- 

 ness of his experience. 



MARCH has an article by S. D. Chapman, 

 on "What Makes Bees Swarm, that I 

 consider the best I have seen on the sub- 

 ject. It gets right down to the founda- 

 tion of the matter. In lact, so thoroughly 

 does Mr. Chapman understand the matter 

 that he has so made up a colony that one 

 half would swarm, leavmg the combs de- 

 serted, while the other half would not 

 budge. 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



APRIL 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 printed in colors instead 

 of somber black. The cover is of Court 

 Gray printed in two colors — Umber and 

 Milori blue. 



MAY contains a five-page review of a book 

 by E. A. Morgan, entitled "Bee-keeping 

 for Profit." It was rightly named, the 

 author getting right down to basic princi- 

 ples, and giving the chit of profitable honey 

 production, particularly in the Northern 

 States. 



JUNE shows how a man may practically defy 

 foul brood; how he may keep bees in a 

 foul-broody district, all surrounded by dis- 

 eased colonies, yet keep his apiary so free 

 from it and its effects as to secure a good 

 crop of honey each year. 



JULY 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 generalized, yet system- 

 atic, and done just a litttle ahead of time. 



AUGUST illustrates and describes the handi- 

 est 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 practically 

 take swarming into our own hands. 



SEPTEMBER illustrates and describes a 

 cheap but substantial bee-cellar, built 

 something like a cistern with a roof over 

 it. This issue also gives some of the best 

 papers read at the Denver convention, to- 

 gether with a lot of interesting items picked 

 up at that convention. 



OCTOBER gives a three-page illustrated 

 write-up of Dr. Gandv and his artificial 

 pasturage. While on his way home from 

 the Denver conventon the editor of the Re- 

 view 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 

 truth of the matter, read this issue. 



Remember that each issue contains dozens 

 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.
