Closes its Tenth Year with Substantial Improvements. 



Increase in Size. — Beginning with the 

 December number, eight more pages 

 are added, making thirtj-six in all. 



Better Paper. — Heavy, white, sized, 

 and super-calendered paper is used in 

 printing the December number, and 

 its use will be continued. 



New Type. — The December number is 

 printed with large, clear, tiCci.' type of 

 that beautiful style called the Ronald- 

 son. 



A Beautiful Cover. — The cover is of 

 extra-heavy, smooth, cream-colored 

 Paradox, printed in that warmest and 

 richest of all colors — claret. 



A Fine Frontispiece. — As a frontis- 

 piece, printed on 80 -pound Ivory 

 enameled paper, is a half-tone, made 

 from a photograph, of a comb badly 

 infected with foul brood. A more 

 perfect picture of such a comb has 

 never been made. In short, the 

 Review will now compare favorably 

 with the high-class magazines, as re- 

 gards typographical neatness and 

 beauty. As to the value of the in- 

 formation it contains, here is a partial 

 list of 



CONTENTS FOR DECEMBER. 



Foul Brood. — Many descriptions of 

 foul brood have been published, but 

 none the equal for detail, exactness, 

 and clearness, of that given by Mr. R. 

 L. Taylor in the December Review. 

 With this description, aided by the 

 accompanying engraving above men- 

 tioned, no one need fail in posi - 

 tively identifying foul brood. Not 

 only this, but Mr. Taylor also gives 

 plain, simple, and exact methods for 

 getting rid of the disease. 



Mr. M. M. Baldridge also describes 

 a novel method for getting the bees 

 of a foul-broody colony into a new 

 hive, and free from the disease, by 

 means of the bee-escape. He also 



tells how to disinfect foul -broody 

 hives by burning them out with kero- 

 sene oil. 



The Plain Section. — Mr. L. A. Aspin- 

 wall has used this style of section for 

 several seasons, and in the December 

 Review he enumerates its many ad- 

 vantages, and illustrates and describes 

 the style of super and separator vrith 

 which he uses it. He also illustrates 

 a simple machine for cleaning pro- 

 polis from sections of this style, near- 

 ly as rapidly as they can be handled. 



First = Premium Wax — The finest 

 wax, that of a clear, pearly "dande- 

 lion yellow ' ' — wax that for two years 

 in succession took first premium at 

 the Wisconsin State Fair, was made 

 by E. Ochsner, and in the December 

 Review he tells exactly how it was 

 rendered. 



Shipping Comb Honey. — The bee- 

 keepers who never have cause to 

 mourn the loss of honey broken in 

 shipment would be more plentiful if 

 all could read in the December Re- 

 v.ew of the simple yet novel method 

 employed by J. E. Crane to prevent 

 the trucking and "dumping" of 

 heavy crates of honey.
