GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Nov. 15. 



^^ •i < 1—^ • 1 1^ • was evidently not tlie intention 



To Damn with raint Praise ofheKevwmF cake when 



* ^^ be wrote the following-, which 



is clipped from an essay on "Apicultural Literature; Its Influence and Effects," written by Mr. Clarke, 

 and read at the last meeting of the Missouri State Bee-keepers' Association: 



"The Bee-kfepefs' Rkview comes nearer to my ideal of what a bee-journal should be than any other 

 as yet extant on this continent. It is not without its faults, but they are mainly tliose which time and 

 experience will correct. Mr. Hutchinson does not gret offended when they are pointed out, but courts 

 criticism and hails correction, deeming- it a friendly act to point out an error in opinion, expression, or 

 grammar He is both courageous and courteous. He is willing to give all a fair hearing. An accom- 

 plished bee-keeper: a natural born editor, who takes to literary work as a duck takes to water; a man 

 with the enthusiasm of both his callings— bee-kceidng and literature— I see in Mr. H. the rising star of 

 bee-iournalism. I am glad he is already so highly appiei-iatcd, and hope, as I believe, that his shadow 

 ■will never grow less. In the Bee-keepers' Review we have the ablest, broadest, most intelligent, manli- 

 est and freest exponent of apicultural ideas that has yet appeared in the western world. These expres- 

 sions of opinion are spontaneous, unbought, disinterested, and made from no other motive than the pro- 

 motion of the greatest good to the greatest number of bee-keepers." 



Reader, if the foregoing is true, you ought to be a subscriber to the Review. If you think the praise 

 extravagant, then send ten cents for three late taut different issues of the Review, and judge for your- 

 self. The Review is $1.00 a year; remainder of the year free to new subscribers for 1893. Review and 

 "Advanced Bee Culture " for ^1.25. Stamps taken, either U. S. or Canadian.
