Two Years for One Dollar 



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 received I have paid out $2.00 In advertising; hence. I have often 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 very effective, but, for obvious reasons, this plan could not be put in 

 practice but I am going to come as near to it as I can. I have between 200 and 300 

 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 any one who will send 

 me $1.00 for the Review for 190S. 



THE REVIEW FOR 1907 



It is impossible, in this space, to touch 

 more than briefly upon a few points. Per- 

 haps the leading feature of the year is a 

 series of articles by E. D. Townsend. Mr. 

 Townsend has been a specialist for many 

 years, probably 



MAKING 3IORE CLEAR MONEY 



out of bees than has any one else in Michi- 

 gan. You may have read occasional articles 

 of his scattered through the different jour- 

 nals, but in the Review for the present year 

 he began at the beginning and wrote in a 

 consecutive manner — just as though writing 

 a book. One article, showing the compar- 

 ative cost of producing comb and extracted 

 honey, is especially valuable just now when 

 some are thinking of abandoning the pro- 

 duction of comb honey. 



Another naan, whose experience and suc- 

 cess have probably equaled Mr. Townsend's, 

 Mr. E. F. Atwater. of Idaho, has furnished 

 the Review with several articles the present 

 year. If asked to give the key-note of these 

 articles, I should say that it was the con- 

 trol of increase, or 



PREVENTION OF SWARIVUNG 

 Perhaps the most satisfactory plan was the 

 use of the Dudley tube; a very simple de- 

 vice that not only prevents swarming, but 

 there is no dividing, no shaking, no abscond- 

 ing, no sulking, and no scattering to other 

 hives, but BIG RESULTS. 



Another successful specialist, who has 

 been a frequent contributor, is Mr. M. V. 

 Facey, of Minnesota; and I think the most 

 helpful feature of his writings is that of 

 trying to tell his readers how to 



DIAGNOSE INSIDE CONDITIONS 

 of a colony by outside symptoms. Many bee- 

 keepers think they must open every hive 

 and take out all of the combs before they 

 can know the conditions of the apiary. It 

 is wonderful, as you will admit after reading 

 these articles, that an apiary may be man- 

 aged with so little work — so little opening 

 of hives. 



A strong feature of the Review is its edi- 

 torials. By actual count, 276 have appeared 

 this year. They are helpful, inspiring and 

 encouraging — often the result of 



ACTUAL PERSONAL WORK 

 in the apiary. The Northern Michigan 

 Apiaries and their management are delight- 

 fully pictured with both pen and camera, 

 and have brought forth more enthusiastic 

 praise than any feature of the Review for 

 several years. It is a record of ACTUAL 

 WORK, with hundreds of colonies— the fail- 

 ures and success. Two editorials deal at 

 length with "Simplicity in Hive Construc- 

 tion," showing how the editor made hives 

 and frames, and wired the latter and filled 

 them with sheets of foundation, all the work 

 being done at home and at low cost. 



What the Review has been in the past, i t will be in the future — a real help to 

 practical bee-keepers who are in the business to make money. Send me $1.00 and 

 you will get the Review for 1907 and 19 08; and after you have read it these two 

 years I feel sure that you will become a life -long subscriber. For $2.00 I will send you 

 the Review for 1907 and 1908 and also a copy of the book "Advanced Bee Culture."
