The Review's Correspondents 



r 



i HE success and useful- 

 ness of a periodical are 

 largely dependent up- 

 on the men chosen by 

 the editor as correspond- 

 ents ; hence it is worth 

 while to notice that the 

 correspondents of the Bee- 

 keepers' Review are suc- 

 cessful, practical men, the 

 most of whom have num- 

 bered their colonies by the 

 hundreds, and sent honey 

 to market by the ton, and 

 who can write, from expe- 

 rience, articles containing 

 information of real benefit 

 to honey - producers. Men 

 who secure their bread and 

 butter by producing honty 

 to spread upon the bread 

 and butter of others are the 

 ones who know what to write to help those situated 

 like themselves. The man whose apiary is in the 

 back of his head, who sits in his office and reads 

 books and papers, and then proceeds to reel off col- 

 umn after column of advice, gets littlp encouragement 

 from the Review, as it prefers articles that are the re- 

 sult of bright brains and brown hands — written, per- 

 haps, in the apiary, with fingers to which the pencil 

 sticks — those that come with the odor of the apiary 

 upon them. It is not so much how many pages there 

 are in a paper, nor how often it conies, but what 

 does it contain when it does come? It is by this stand- 

 ard that the Review wishes to be judged.

WANTED —EXTRACTED HONEY. 



I am now in shape to buy extracted honey, ei- 

 ther in large or small lots. Parties in the South, 

 or in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, or West Virginia 

 having any to offer will do well to sell to me, as 

 Cincinnati is the greatest market for extracted 

 honey in the States. Submit a small sample, 

 stating quantity, style of package, and price ex- 

 pected.
