Photographs Wanted. 



For the last three months I have been offering prizes 

 for the best articles. The result is I have a large num- 

 ber of most excellent articles. Until I can make room 

 for these there is no use in offering prizes for more. 

 When I have u.sed the best of tho.se that X have on 

 hand I shall again offer prizes. In the meantime. I 

 should like .some good photographs to use as frontis- 

 pieces in Review. The frontispiece for June is already 

 printed, but later months are not provided for, and to 

 the one who will send me a photograph that I think 

 well enough of to use as a frontispiece in the July 

 Review I will send So. 00 cash. To the .sender of anj' 

 other photograph that I think well enough of to use 

 in some other part of the Review I will send the Re- 

 view for one year and one of the Superior Stock queens. 

 If you have a neat, picturesque apiary, send me a pho- 

 tograph of it. Send me a photograph of anything 

 pertaining to bee culture that will make a neat pic- 

 ture, or convey some useful information. I received a 

 picture a day or two ago taken in the depths of a 

 maple forest, at a time when there were no leaves on 

 the trees, and aw.iy up in the top of a tall maple could 

 be seen a decoy bee-hive. The writer told all, how he 

 arranged the decoy hives, and put them in place, and 

 got them down wheti occupied, and what a lot of 

 swarms he had caught in this way. The picture and 

 description will be given in the June Review. I men- 

 tion this simply to show what kind of pictures would 

 be desirable. Some little nook, some peculiar ar- 

 rangement of your hives, some new style of hive, 

 some swarm-catcher — well, anything that is interest- 

 ing, picturesque, or imparts useful information ; all, 

 of course, relating to bee culture. Get an 8x10 pic- 

 ture if you can ; if not, then as large as possible ; for 

 the larger the picture the better the cut that can be 

 made frum it. Have your photographer use a small 

 diaphram in order that there may be good definition, 

 as much of this is lost in the reproduction.

Italian Queens 



whose bees are record-breakers as honey-gatherers. 



That queen 1 got of you two years ago was a fine one, the 

 best I ever liad. From a daughter of hers I got 120 lbs. box 

 honey last season. The I'est any other colony did was 72 lbs. 

 Geohgk B. Howe, Black River, N. Y. 



Fifteen years a honey-producer on a large scale has 

 taught me the value of good queens as well as how to 

 rear them. I breed for honey-gatherers; all cells 

 built by Doolittle plan. Untested, warranted purely 

 mated, 60c; % doz , $3.50: dozen, ff6.."J0. Queens sent

 anteed in every case, or money refunded. Circular

How are You Going to Dig Your Potatoes ? 



It will be time very soon to dig your potatoes ; and, 

 in fact, in some places it is time already. If you want 

 .something that will put the potatoes a// on top of the 

 ground, and do it, too, with one good strong team, 

 yon probably can not do any better than to use the 

 Dowden potato digger, made by the Dowden Mfg. 

 Co , Prairie City, Iowa. Drop them a postal card, and 

 they will cheerfully give you all the particulars, an- 

 swering every question anybody will probably ask in 

 regard to the machine.
