TWO YEARS FOR 

 ONE DOLLAR 



After a man succeeds in publishing- a g-ood journal, the next 

 step is that of g^etting- 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 saying that foi 

 ■every new subscriber I have received, I have paid out. $2.00 ir 

 advertising; hence I have often said that a publisher of a good 

 journal could afford to send his paper one year free, for the sak( 

 of getting it into new hands. It would cost no more than other 

 forms of advertising and would be very effective, but. for obvious 

 reasons this plan could not be put into practice, but I am going tc 

 come as near to it as I can. I have between 200 and ^oo complete 

 sets of back numbers for the present year, and as long as the supply 

 holds out I will send a complete set, and the rest of this year free, 

 to anyone who will send me $1.00 for the Review for 1904. Foi 

 a few particulars regarding the numbers alreadv published this 

 year, read the following : 



REVIEW FOR 1903. 



January illustrates and describes a Queen Incubator and Brooder, 

 which allows the bees access to the cells and queens at all 

 times. It also contains several excellent articles on the sub- 

 ject of Commercial Organization among bee-keepers. 



February contains a five-page article, perhaps the best ever pub- 

 lished, on foul brood. It tells how to detect the disease with 

 unerring certainty, to prevent its spread in the apiary, to 

 keep it under control, build up the diseased colonies, secure 

 a good crop of honey, and at the same time surely rid the 

 apiary of the pest, all in one season, with almost no loss. 



March gives the portrait of a veteran bee-keeper of Michigan who 

 manages out-apiaries 50 miles from home with only four 

 visits a year, averaging a profit of $150 each visit. He 

 describes his methods in this issue of the Review. 



April has a frontispiece of bronze blue showing Mr. T. F. Bing- 

 ham's apiarv and wintering cellar, and Mr. Bingham de- 

 scribes the cellar and its very successful management. L. 

 Stachelhausen tells how to prevent both natural swarming 

 and increase in an out-apiaf v, and secure a fine crop of honey. 



May illustrates and describes a. tank and method for fumigating
