GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

The Bee=keepers' 



REVIEW 



For January shows, as its frontispiece, a picture of the 

 only section-factory in Michigan, and describes every 

 process of section-making, from the tree to the crated 

 product. It tel s how to get every last speck of wax 

 out of the slum-gum in a very simple way. The editor 

 tells what he learned about Foul-brood germs while in 

 the laboratory of a chemist in Guelph, Ontario. 



The REVIEW for February illustrates and describes 

 a section case in which the sections are supported by 

 the separators. C. Davenport tells when and how to 

 remove bees from the cellar, and where to put them 

 when they are out. J. E. Crane discusses the advisa- 

 bility of selling sections by count. The Extracted De- 

 partment is really a symposium on the size of hives, 

 with a two page editorial summing-up at the end. 



The frontispiece of the March REVIEW shows the 

 apiary and residence of Mr. T. F. Bingham — he of 

 smoker fame. Mr. Bingham has an article telling 

 how to keep bees good-natured. Messrs. Getaz and 

 Stachelhausen and the editor discuss hives, locality, 

 and management, and show that all three must be 

 consideied if success is to crown our efforts. Dr. 

 Mason begins in this issue his department of "Good 

 Things from Other Journals." 



The frontispiece for April shows 1(> sections of hon- 

 ey illustrative of the Colorado System of g ading; and 

 Mr. F. L,. Thompson follows with a four-page article 

 oti grading and marketing. Mr. Beckwilh tells how 

 to get drawn comb for starters, and enumerates their 

 advantages. Mr. McEvoy describes and illustrates the 

 Alpaugh solar wax-extractor, which is peculiarly 

 adapted for the melting of cappings and the purify- 

 ing of wax. Mr, Dave iport describes an impioved 

 process of rendering wax by boiling, and points out 

 the great importance th-t attaches to the kind of ma- 

 terial from which the sack is made in which the 

 combs are boiled. Mr. R. I.,. Taylor considers the use 

 of queen-traps and the control of increase.

OTICE. 



I herewith cancel all offers to furnish the Modern 

 Farmer and Busy Bee. It has passed beyond my con- 

 trol. Forced out because I objected to a certain class 

 of advertisements It will no longer represent bee- 

 keepers. Better take and patronize a paper which will 

 not carry ads. that are objectionable.

Two Wagons at One Price. 



It is a matter of great convenience and a saving of 

 labor for a farmer to have a low, handy wagon. They 

 save more than half the labor of loading in hauling 

 manure, hay, grain, corn fodder, wood, stones, etc. 

 The man who already has a wagon 

 may have one of the low handy wag- 

 ons at the small additional cost for a 

 set of wheels. These Electric Steel 

 Wheels, with either direct or stagger 

 spokes, with broad-faced tire, are 

 made to fit any axle. You can con- 

 vert your old wagon to a low, handy 

 wagon in a few moments' time. You 

 thus virtually have two wagons at 

 one price. Write to the Electric 

 Wheel Co., Box 05, Quincy, Illinois, 

 for their catalog, which fully ex- 

 plains about these and their Electric Handy Wagons, 

 Electric Feed-cookers, etc.
