GOOD THINGS FROM OTHER 

 JOURNALS. 



OOD things appear in other 

 journals besides tlie Bee- 

 keepers' Review; yet the 

 Review uses its utmost en- 

 \.WJM lleavor to gather them all 

 HE up and lay them before its 

 ■ ggjPy^ readers. "To be sure, the 

 ~~ editor himself might do 



all this work of selecting 

 these good things, also that of criticising, 

 and the pointing out of errors, and so he 

 does, to a certain extent, in the Editorial 

 and Extracted departments, but, by bring- 

 ing in the assistance of other minds, the 

 Review is thereby broadened. 



As Mr. R. E- Taylor is employed to help 

 in pointing out errors and fallacious ideas, 

 and to comment upon them, so Dr. A. B. 

 Mason, of Toledo, Ohio, assists in finding 

 the good things, holding them up to view, 

 and pointing out their goodness — thus is 

 the Review rounded out and made a well- 

 balanced journal. 



Dr. Mason has had many years of varied 

 experience with bees: he reads all the bee- 

 journals, is secretary of the United States 

 Bee-keepers' Association, and the possessor 

 of a free and chatty style that makes his 

 writings very readable. 



Just think of it a moment : Not only does 

 the Review leave no stone unturned in se- 

 curing the best possible original matter, 

 but there are four men — the editor and 

 Messrs. Taylor, Mason, and Thompson — 

 constantly scanning the pages of the lead- 

 ing bee-journals ot both the new and the 

 old world — on the lookout for something 

 worthy of repetition or comment. In this 

 way, as well as in others, does the Review 5» 

 really and truly demonstrate the appro- g~ 

 priateness of its name. 5> 



Send 10 cts. for three late but different is- ^ 

 sues, and the 10 cts. may apply on any sub- 5* 

 scriptlon sent in during the year. 3»
