THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



March 



[LD¥[E[^^[^^ RQCDiri 



Outing, the apostle of fresh air and 

 sunshine, ot' healthful exercise and ex- 

 hilarating sports, defies in its March issue, 

 the conventional aspects of winter and 

 dispels its influence. Whilst other pub- 

 lications are rending the feelings with 

 human slaughter in South Africa, it pre- 

 sents the peaceful landscape and the ways 

 of " Big Game in Matabeleland," its for- 

 ests, its flora and its fauna, with illustra- 

 tions that are a revelation. It follows the 

 ' leaping Tuna " in our Pacific Waters; 

 describes the "Irish Wolf Hound," des- 

 tined to play a notable part in ridding the 

 Northwest of a scourge. Takes its Golfing 

 readers around "The Links of the Far 

 West," its aquatic devotees rowing over 

 "' The Pleasant Courses of vSan Francisco 

 Bay," and its Cyclists on an ' Foster Trip 

 through France." Tells of the doughty 

 deeds on the track and field in " Wonder- 

 :u! Athletic Performances," gives a birds- 

 eye view, of "Match Day on the St. 

 Andrew's Links of Old vScotia," and takes 

 its heroine in fiction through a Skiing 

 adventure worthy of the title, ''A Modern 

 Cinderella." 



Its monthly Review of our sports rings 

 with the vSkaters' flying feet, the Curlers' 

 broom, the clang of Ice Hockey and the 

 swift whirl of Ice Yachtsmen, whilst 

 keeping track of the trotter, the Sports 

 man at the Sliows and the Fisherman 

 ])reparing for his spring excursions. 



Its arti.sts. imbued with the true spirit 

 of the publication, are liajjpy and skillful 

 exponents of ji. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark, That is, there will be 'fancy white,"
