THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



Feb. 



YOU OUGHT TO KNOW 



whether it is profitable to use founda- 

 tion in the brood-nest when hiving 

 swarms, and which is the most profitable, 

 large or small swarms. Extensive and elaborate experiments have been made upon these points the 

 past season at the Michigan Experiment Apiary, and a report appears in the Oct. Review. The reading 

 of this report may be a surprise to some. The publishing of these reports is one of the best things the 

 Review has ever done. I am sincere when I say that no bee-keeper can afford not to read them. They 

 began in July, and the Review will be sent from that time to the end of the year for 75 cts.. and with it 

 will he sent the ">0-cent book. "Advanced Bee Culture."

Anna Robeson Brown ; several short sketch- 

 es, numerous illustrations and poems. 

 There is also a new department for " Our 

 Boys," which ought to attract universal at- 

 tention.
