The BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW has 



added a new feature. It is called the 



Department 



of Criticism. 



It is conducted by Mr. K. L. Taj lor. of La- 

 peer, Mkh'Rin. who Is a fair minded man and 

 a broad thinker. To this may be added years 

 of experience in a large apiary. He also, for 

 several years, had charge of the Michlttan 

 State Experiment Apiary, and made some of 

 the most practical experiments ever made 

 with bees. 



Attempts at erltlclsm are often coucht In 

 language so apologetic and 'mealy-mouthed" 

 as to nearly rob them of all force; but Mr. 

 Taylor's criticisms are most vigorous in style. 

 and, thus far, his main shafts have been aimed 

 at the views and teachings of some of the 

 most prominent writers. It is my honest be- 

 lief that this department Is to result in un- 

 told good by warning bee keepers against the 

 fallacies that will creep into the Journals in 

 spite of the best of Intentions. 



The editor of the "American Bee-Keeper," 

 a man who has had years of practical expe- 

 rience with bees, writes me that "That new 

 Department of Criticism is a rare morsel." In 

 his journal he gives It the following public 

 notice : 



"In addition to its intensely critical con- 

 denst view of bee-writings, by E. E. Hasty, to- 

 gether with other markt improvements, the 

 Uee-Keepers' Heview has introduced a new 

 • Department of Criticism.' The initial C of 

 the department headlna: incloses a miniature 

 medallion half-tone of Hon. K. L. 'J ay lor, of 

 the Michigan State Agricultural College LHe 

 is not connected witu the College now.— Ed. 

 KeviewI. by whose very able pen the criti- 

 cisms are conducted. The Keview Is indeed 

 a unique publication— a credit to its editor 

 and an honor to Its supporters; and. la point 

 of interest to advanced apiarists, its new de- 

 partment is second to noneof tnose previously 

 establibht. We are prouJ of our sprightly, 

 artistic, and edifying exchange."
