Two Years for One Dollar 



After a man succeeds in publishing a good journal, the next step is that of get- 

 ting it into the hanils 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 iournal 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 anyone who will send me $1.00 for the REVIEW for 1908. 



THE REVIEW FOR 1907 



frequent contributor, is Mr. M. V. Facev, of Min- ; 

 nesota;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 oi'l'iny hy outside symptoms, Manv bee- 

 keepers think they must open every hive and take 

 out all "t the combs before tbey can know the 

 condition of the apiary. It is wonderful, as you 

 will admit after reading these articles, that an 

 apiary may be mananaged with so little work— so 

 little opening of hives. 



A strong feature of the Review is its editorials. 

 By actual count. 276 have appearetl this vear. ■ 

 They arc helpful, inspiring, and encouraging— of- ' 

 ten the resuft of 



Actual Personal Work 



in the apiary. The Northern Michigan apiaries 

 and their management are delightfully pictured 

 with both pen and camera, and have brought forth - 

 more enthusiastiu praise than anv feature of the 

 Review fur several years. It is a record of actual 

 work with hundreds of colonies— the laiiures and 

 successe.'*. Two editorials deal at length with 

 "Simplieity in Hive Cnnstructiou,'* showing how 

 the Edit(.ir made hives and frames, and wired the 

 latter and tilled them with sheets of foundation, 

 all the work being done at home, and at a low 

 cost. 



What the REVIEW has been in the past, it will be in tlie 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 P.EVIEW for 1907 and 1908; and after you have read it these two 



years 1 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 liook "Advanced Bee 



Culture W. Z. HUTCHINSON, // FLINT, MICH. 



It is impossible, in this space, to touch more 

 than briefly upon a few points. Perhaps the lead- 

 ing feature of the year is a series of articles by 

 E. D. Townsend. Mr. Townsend has been a spe- 

 cialist for many years, probably 



Making More Clear Money 



out of bees than has any one else in Michigan. 

 You may have read occasional articles of his 

 scattered through the different journals, but in 

 the Review for the present year he l>egan at the 

 beginning and wrote in a consecutive manner— just 

 as though writing a lutAk. One article, showing 

 the comparative cost of producing comb and ex- 

 tracted noney, is es|ieciaily valuable just now 

 when some are thinking of abandoning the pro- 

 duction of comb honey. 



Another man, whose experience and success 

 have 1 rubably 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 keynote of these articles. I should say that it 

 was the control of increase, or 



Prevention of Swarming 



Perhaps tlie must sati:-factory plan was the use of 

 the Dudley tube; a vt ry simple device that not 

 only prevents swarmiug, but tnere is no dividing, 

 no shaking, no absconding, no sulking, and no 

 scattering to other hi\es, but hifi n'sult)^.
