a success of the Review, and I hope 

 j'ou and I will enjo_v the relation of 

 editor and subscriber another 15 years, 

 or long"er. 



Camillus, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1903. 



[The roads in Northern Michig-an 

 are excellent. The soil is a sandy 

 loam, and the country rollings, even 

 hilly in some parts. I have been 

 there in the spring, in the middle of 

 the summer and late in the fall, and 

 the roads were always good. As to 

 malaria, I can't sajs except that I 

 never heard of any when there. I 

 presume that trapping would be good 

 in some parts of Northern Michigan, 

 but exactl}' where, I cannot say. 

 Perhaps some of my subscribers can 

 answer this question, and some of the 

 others, better than I can. 



No, I don't feel the same toward 

 Bro. Kinyon since he opposes my 

 opinion of the magazine, "Success" — I 

 think all the'»iore of him. If there is 

 one thing more than another that I 

 have tried to do since starting the Re- 

 view, it is that of encouraging my read- 

 ers to express themselves freely, re- 

 gardless of whether or not their views 



agree with mine. I wish for the utmost 

 freedom of speech, combined with 

 kindness and toleration, even though 

 there may be a diiference of views. In 

 regard to "Success" I would say that 

 I have read most of the numbers since 

 it has been published, and I must say 

 that I have never been able to discover 

 any disposition to encourage success 

 by the crushing of others. The world 

 is wide, and the need for men of abil- 

 ity is so great that there is room for 

 all. What many men need is to have 

 their abilities pointed out to them, and 

 to be encouraged to develop them, and 

 it is this "Success" tries to do, as I 

 understand its teachings. The suc- 

 cesses that are encouraged by "Suc- 

 cess," as it appears to me, are such 

 successes as the one tnade by the Re- 

 view. I doubt if any other bee journal 

 has been injured, much less crushed, 

 by the success of the Review. I may 

 go further and say that I fear I have 

 sometimes helped and encouraged 

 some brother in the starting of a bee 

 journal, when it would have been a 

 kindness if I had persuaded him not 

 to have made the venture. — Ed. Re-

BY H. G. MOREHOUSE. 



T MUST say a word or two more in 

 ^ regard to overstocking. I believe Mr. 

 Alexander's article on that subject is 

 one of the most valuable }-ou have ever 

 published in the Review. It has caus- 

 ed iiie to think, and it will cause others 

 to think, along ?ieii> lines, and much 

 good, in the aggregate, will result. 

 Such articles (unorthodox) cause a 

 health}' shaking up of the "dry bones," 



and the very skepticism that they in- 

 duce will often cause some adventurous 

 spirit to make some new and valuable 

 discovery.

 WHEN NEAR EACH OTHER. 



I note what Mr. Lathrop saj's in the 

 last Review, yet he does not prove that 

 his home-field is overstocked. He 

 quotes no figures showing that his av-
