TWO YEARS FOR $1.00 



After a man succeeds in publishing a good 

 journal, the next step is that 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 saying 

 that, for every new subscriber I have re- 

 ceived, I have paid $2.00 in advertising; hence, 

 I have always said that a publisher of 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 more ef- 

 fective; 'but, for obvious reasons, this plan 



could not be put into practice; but I am 

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

 between 200 and 300 complete sets of hack 

 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 any 

 one who will send me $1.00 for the Review 

 for 1907. 



Back numbers of the Review are different 

 from those of newspapers and some journals. 

 The information that they contain is just as 

 valuable now as when first published. In an 

 advertisement like this it is imposisble to give 

 much description, but I will mention one or 

 two features of each issue of 



THE REVIEW FOR 1906 



JANUARY.— The keynote of the Review for 

 1906 is "The Control of Increase;" and Mr. 

 Gill, of Colorado, starts off by telling how he 

 completely and profitably controls the in- 

 crease of 1000 colonies run for comb honey. 



FEBRUARY. — R. C. Aikin shows how, with 

 a knowledge of principles, increase can be 

 controlled; but perhaps the most valuable 

 contribution to this issue is from R. F. Hol- 

 terman, of Canada, describing "Some Short 

 Cuts in the Production of Extracted Honey. 



MARCH.^In this issue is illustrated and des- 

 cribed the only really successful non-swarm- 

 ing hive that has yet been invented. Its 

 inventor, Mr. L. A. Aspinwall, secured an 

 average of 140 pounds of comb honey the 

 past season from fifty colonies, and had no 

 swarms. 



APRIL. — The most valuable article in this 

 issue is from C. A. Olmstead, of New York, 

 in which he illustrates and describes a meth- 

 od of foretelling swarming without opening 

 the hive. 



MAY.^ — In this issue is begun a series of the 

 most delightfully and beautifully illustrated 

 sketches that have ever appeared in the 

 Review — that of the editor's exo^jncnce in 

 locating and managing three out-apianes in 

 the wild, picturesque, raspberry region of 

 Northern Michigan. 



JUNE. — The article this month on "Control 

 of Increase," is by that veteran, J. E. Crane, 

 of Vermont, and shows how to do the work 

 when the harvest comes early. This issue 

 also gives the editor's experience in moving 

 his 400 colonies into Northern Michigan — 

 illustrated with four engravings. 



JULY. — This issue has a beautiful full-page 

 iUustration of the Review apiary here at 

 Flint (105 colonies), and the editor gives 

 a resume of his work in this apiary for the 

 first six months of the year — showing where 

 he failed and why he succeeded. 



AUGUST. — In this number the editor tells of 

 "Reaping the Harvest in Northern Michi- 

 gan," and gives pictures of the different 

 apiaries, some at old abandoned lumber- 

 camps, one with a tent for a honey-house, 

 while the reading-matter has an actual flavor 

 of the wild northern woods. 



SEPTEMBER.— Of all the articles in this 

 year's Review I doubt if any one is more 

 really helpful than the one in this issue by 

 the editor, entitled "Conveniences in the 

 production of Extracted Honey." It has 

 several illustrations, and shows how to use 

 bee-escapes without the back-aching work of 

 lifting the hives by hand; how to make a 

 honey-knife cut as "slick as a razor;" how 

 to make an uncapping-can for ten cents; how 

 to arrange a cheap automatic strainer, and 

 run the honey directly into the cans; and 

 how to arrange an electric bell, at a cost of 

 60 cts., that will ring when the can is full. 



Instead of mentioning some of the special 

 features for October, November, and December, 

 let me use the space to say that one of the 

 good things that will appear in the Review 

 for 1907 will be a series of articles from E. 

 D. Townsend, Michigan's foremost bee-keeper. 

 All of his writings in the past have been frag- 

 mentary, a glimpse here and there, and they 

 have been scattered here and there in dif- 

 ferent journ'als. Now he is going to write 

 in a consecutive manner, starting at the be- 

 ginning of the season and going through the 

 year — just as though he were writing a book. 

 It will give his system of management. 



ADVANCED BEE CULTURE 



This is a book of 230 pages, beautifully and profitable business out of bee-keep- 

 printed, bound, and illustrated, that dis- ing. Price $1.20; or, the Review for 

 cusses bee-keeping from a money point 1907 (and all the back numcers of this 

 of view — shows how to make a pleasant year free) for only $2.00. 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, Flint, Mich.
