What Kind of Barrels Are the Best in Which to Ship Honey and 

 Where Can They Be Secured? 



One of my subscribers in Cuba wishes to know the experience 

 cf those using- liarrels for shipping" honey, and whether a soft wood 

 barrel is better than a hardwood one. 



Also wdiether these barrels can be obtained in the flat to be set 

 up bv the purchaser? Fifty-gallon barrels are desired, and they are 

 needed for shipping to (Germany. 



Who can pive us th.e information asked for? 



Patronize the Man Who Patronizes You. 

 There is no reason why you can not purchase your supplies from 

 those who advertise in the Re\iew, and by doing that you will show 

 your appreciation of their ];)atronage, for remem1)er this is your 

 paper, and the advertiser wdio does not use it to tell you what he 

 has is not entitled to your patronage. In fact you are not loyal to 

 your association and your own interests if you do patronize him, 

 when you can get just as good service from the man or firm who 

 helps make your paper a success by their patronage. Remember 

 this when you place your orders this spring. 



Why Don't People Eat More Honey? 



Why is it that so many people do not eat honey? It is not 

 because they do not like it! We have visitors at extracting and 

 other times when honey is being handled, and of course all are in- 

 vited to partake freely. It is at this time the writer hears many 

 exclamations of approval for honey, and one would naturally think 

 that people who like honey so well would make good customers. It 

 many times does not prove to be the case, for after pronouncing it 

 the finest delicacy ever tasted, they as like as not will go home and 

 not think about honey until extracting time again. 



The Review is in need of a few short articles on "'Jlow to Edu- 

 cate People to Eat Alore Honey." They need not be more than three 

 or four hundred words long, and for any of these articles we think 

 well enough of to publish, the writer will be given credit for a year's 

 subscription to the Ren'ifw as a part payment for his trouble. —
