THE BEE-KEEPERS' 



REVIEW! 



for Feb. is now out. (It has been delayed by the 

 serious illness of its editor.) The special topic of 

 this number is " Temperature," as applied to bee- 

 repositories. So much information upon this topic 

 has probably never before been g-athered into so 

 small a space. The treatment is exhaustive, and it 

 would seem that nothing- more need be said upon 

 this subject. 



Among the contributors to this number are such 

 men as R. L. Taylor, James Heddon, H. R. Board- 

 man, F. Boomhower, T. F. Bingham, J. H. Martin, 

 J. A. Buchanan, and C. C. Miller. Several pages 

 are devoted to editorials upon a variety of live 

 topics. There are also choice extracts from the 

 writings of Prof. Cook, C. W. Dayton, C. C. Miller, 

 and others. 



A detailed list of contents will not be published, 

 as a copy will be cheerfully sent to all who ask for 

 it. Price of the Review, .50c a year.

 there wen- inan.v who wmild " ant tn pay that prici' for a hook 

 iif that I'haiai-tfi-. When we take into eonsulei-ation. hmvever, 

 that it is nut only about as handsome a book as can be found 

 in oni- bookstores, externally and internally, but that is also a 

 liook in which g-odiiness and purity shine forth from every 

 paj^e, it is perhaps not so very snrprisinf?. The book is not, in 

 one sense, a i-elifrious book, t'or the- piinciples arc la\if;ht in- 

 directly, in the form of a little story, or fable, and soinetiiiics 

 the i-eader does not see at once the ai}i)lication; but when it 

 bui-sts upon him he feels a spirit of thankfulness for ha\'in^ 

 been tau(?ht perhaps the ver>' lesson he needs, by wa\' of a sort 

 of parable. The t>ook contains .'il'i pa^cs anil li'iO eiiy-raying-s. 

 Man.v of the latter are some of the finest ciiK-r.avinKs that are 

 to be found in modern print. The author <jf this work. Mr. 

 Charles Fo.ster. went to his heavenl.y rest during' the ]iast 

 year; but it seems to me that his Ijook will stand, much as 

 the Pilprim's Progress does, to hel|) huiuanitv throuKh ages to 

 come. Our new stock is even nicer tlian the last for they are in 

 gilt bindinpr; but the price will leniain the same; viz.. $2.00 eaoh; 

 twofor$:i.50, three for $1.6.1 each; five or more. $1.1)0 each. If 

 wanted by mail, you will have to send 32 cts. extia. as the 

 book is so very largre and hea\y. We can send it for live new 

 names for Gleani.vgs, you paying postage.

Bright Italian Queens. 



I have 50 select tested queens of 'H7 raising- that I 

 will sell in April, at $3.00; May, $3..50; June, $3.00; 

 July 1st to Nov., $1.50. 



Queens warranted purely mated, $1.00; 6 for $5.00; 

 they are bred from the best of mothers, and are su- 

 perior to the common run of cheap queens sold at 

 lower prices without any guarantee of purity; 

 their progeny are good workers, and will work on 

 red clover as well as anj' bees you can get. I take 

 the same pains to rear queens for you as I do for 

 m.y own use; in fact, they are all raised alike. 



I have made queen-rearing a specialty for the 

 last ten years, and I think I understand the busi- 

 ness; at least, my customers say 1 send them the 

 best queens they get. 



Have your orders booked now, and send for 

 queens when you want them. I will commenc ship- 

 ping warranted queens as early in May as possible. 

 Safe arrival guaranteed.

We mentioned them at the time in Gleanings, 



agreeing to send samples as soon as we received 



them. Well, they have just come to hand, although 



, we ordered .50,000 over a year ago. They are about 



I the nicest labels we ever saw for glass tumblers, 



1 pails, and small packages of honey. We will mail 



' a sample inclosed in our label catalogue, free on 



' application, and will furnish them postpaid at the 



following prices: 5 cts. for 10; fOcts. for 100: $1.35
