Dear Sir: — Have used the Conqueror 15 years. I was always pleased with 

 its workings, but thinking I would need a new one this summer I write for 

 a circular. I do not think the 4-inch Smoke Engine too large.

The Bee=keepers' 



REVIEW 



for December shows in its frontispiece " The Neatest 

 Apiary in Michigan," and the owner of this apiary, or. 

 to be more exact, his son. contributes an article upon 

 " Beauty and Neatness " in which he shows that they 

 are of more importance in the apiary than they are 

 generallv given credit for. 



Mr. Harry S. Howe, Mr. W. L. Coggshall's " light- 

 ning operator." tells how he reads the bee-journals — 

 what is wanted in them, and how to get the most out 

 of them. 



There is an editorial of nearly three pages upon 

 " Success." It is not a lot of dry platitudes and gener- 

 alities; it is full of freshness and vigor, and of illustra- 

 tions drawn from the editor's own experience. The 

 reading of it may change your life from the dull com- 

 mon place to one of un l ounded success. 



Then there are the " Criticisms " of Mr. Taylor: the 

 "Views" of the inimitable Hasty, the "Extracted 

 Dept.," etc. 



The Review is $1.00 a year: but if you are not a sub- 

 scriber, you can, for only $1.80, have your subscription 

 co Gleanings renewed for one year, get 12 back num- 

 bers of the Review, and then the Review for all of 

 1899.
