GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

'5.00 for an Article. 



For the best article received before March 31, for 

 publication in the April Review, I vs^ill pay So. 00 cash. 

 For each article, aside from the prize-article, that is 

 accepted, I will send the Review for 1900, and one of 

 those Superior Stock Queens. 



Please use black ink, on good white paper, and 

 write on only one side of the paper. At the top of the 

 first page write " For the Prize-competition," and 

 write your name and address at the bottom of the last 

 page. . 



The style in which the article is written, and its 



I length, will have little influence in the making of the 

 award. What is wanted is such information as will 

 aid a bee-keeper in making his business more safe, 

 pleasant, and profitable : in other words, preference 

 will be given to practical articles, that is, those that 

 tell " how to do things " 



The Review is SI. 00 a year, but to each subscriber 

 for 1900 I will send 12 back numbers free. For S2 00 I 

 will send the 12 back numbers, the Review for 1!K)0, 

 and a queen of the Superior Stock.
