THE BEE-KEErERvS' REVIEW 



33 





The lYogressive Bee-Keeper 



Is a 28-pa<^e monthly bee journal published at Higginsville, Mo.; price. 

 50c per year. With the j-ear of 189S, we begin the eighth volume; hence 

 it is past the expermental stage. R. B. L,eahy and G. M. Doolittle, 

 erlitors. vSome of the features of 1898 will be a continuation of Way^side 

 Fragments, by Somnamhulist, Experience and its l,essons, 

 by/?. C. Aikin. This series of articles will be reviewed by Mr. Doo- 

 little, which is practically giving /lis experience \\'ith its lessons. "Expe- 

 rience" and its lessons, as reviewed, will l)e a gold mine for beginners and 

 aclvantageous to tho.se more advanced in bee culture. The Somnambu- 

 list articles are written in a pleasing style, as none but vSommy could 

 write them. They are highly entertaining and instructive. Dr. C. C. 

 Miller, and other popular writers also contribute to its columns. The 

 I'KOCRKSSIVK is a popular journal at a popular price. Printed in the 

 highest art, on beautiful paper. Tearless in its character, newsy in its 

 contents, and artistic in its make-up. Remember the Progri<:ssive Bek- 

 Kkkpkr is but 50c peryear. The Procrkssivp: and that " one onlv " 

 book for beginners, the Amateur Bee-Keeper, by Prof . J. W. 

 Rouse, both for 65c. A sample copy of the Procvrhssivk for your 

 name, and a beautiful illustrated catah>gue of ajiiarian su])plies for the 

 asking. Address,
