I'ttE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



The reason there are so many bad 

 hives made at planing mills, is that 

 the planing mill man is but little in- 

 terested in this kind of work, and 

 loses but little or nothing if it is not 

 properly done, while he is almost 

 always short of time to do the work 

 justice. 



WIND-POWER, FOOT-POWER, OR HOR.SK- 



POWER LACKING IN STRENGTH 



AND STEADINESS. 



As to the foot-power, hand-power, 

 wind- and liorse-power hive machines. 



I would just as soon try to look fiappy 

 (for Hutchinson to talie a picture) sit- 

 ting on a hive of Cyprian bees, with a 

 mule just read\' to get in his work 

 (with his head the other way) as to 

 have a job of hive-making on any of 

 these machines, and try to enjoy it. 

 It takes a strong, steady power, with 

 the saw running at the proper, un- 

 varj'ing speed, to do good, even, smooth 

 work. Then the stuff must be fed to 

 the saw just right.

Toronto is the place where the 

 Canadians will hold their next annual 

 convention. 



Protect your home market by not 

 retailing honey for less than your 

 dealer sells it. 



Mr. France writes me that the prices 

 that he gave on tin honey packages, in 

 the annual report of the Nationjil As- 

 sociation, have been withdrawn. 



The Northern Michigan Bee- 

 Keepers' Association will hold its 

 annual convention March 30th iind 

 31st., at the Montague Hall, 127 Front 

 St., Traverse City, Mich. A. I. Root 

 and the editor of the Review are expect- 

 ed to be present. 



Mr. W. F. Marks, of Chapinville, 

 N. Y., has been re-elected, for the 

 seventh time, as President of the New 

 York, State Association of Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Societies. He has also been re- 

 elected as chairman of the Board of 

 Directors of the National Bee-Keepers' 

 Association. Every Director, with 

 one exception, sent in his vote, and 



the only vote not for Mr. Marks, was 

 tiiat of his own. 



Sele-Reliance. thinking for one's 

 self, are things tliat the Review has 

 repeatedly urged upon its readers, 

 but Printer's Ink, in a recent issue, 

 puts the matter so neatly' that I feel 

 that I must cop3'' it. It sa3's: 



"The advice of friends is a good 

 thing to listen to in matters of busi- 

 ness, but it is a ver}^ sorry prop for 

 one's support. 'Each man builds his 

 own house and lives in it. ' Success 

 comes of self-reliance. No two friends 

 will advise precisely alike as touch- 

 ing any one tiling. He succeeds best 

 who with ax in hand cuts his own 

 way." 



R. F. Holtermann, of Brantford, 

 Canada, lias written quite a little for 

 the press, but, of all the things he has 

 ever written, I never felt like sjiying 

 amen so heartily as I do to the follow- 

 ing that he wrote in an article for the 

 Canadian Bee Journal. Among other 

 things, he says: 



"A good deal of nonsense passes as 

 sound reasoning, and I often think 

 how rare a thing it is to find a man or 

 a woman who will stick to sound, 

 solid reasoning, and who will, in a 

 reasonable way, stick to the point at
