THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



Fmii 



LA 



^ 



The distinctive features of the Bke - Keepers' Review are those of reviewing current 

 apicultural literature (pointing out errors and fallacies and allowing notliing of value to pass unno- 

 ticed), and the making of each issue a "special number"— one in wliich some special topic is dis- 

 cussed by the best bee-keepers of the country. If you wish for the cream of the other journals, 

 already skimmed and dished up, and to learn the views of the most exi)erienced bee-keepers upr»n the 

 unsolved, apicultural problems of the day, read the Heview. Price of the IIeview, $1.00.

 pamphlet giving tlie views of the best bee-keepers upon the topic mentioned. 



^VIIA^T OTHERS SAY. 



The Review is not very much given to the pub- 

 lication of " testimonials," but, as this issue will 

 fall into the hands of many who have never seen 

 a copy, it may he. well to allow them to see in 

 what estimation it is held by some of its older 

 readers. 



PROF. COOK says " You are giving us a 

 SPLKinDID paper." 



E R N E S T R O O T writes :" The last Review 

 was a gooa one, as usual. As an editor yon are 

 a success." 



WM. F. CLARKE writes: "The Review 



fills a niche all iis own, and has fairly earned the 

 right to live. It more nearly comes up to my 

 ideal of what an apicultural journal should be 

 than any otlier, and 1 think it well represents the 

 best thought of our most advanced bee-keepers." 



G. M. DOOLITTLE says : "I wish to say 

 that i consider the Nov. Review a wonderful pro- 

 duction. There is something inspiring and ele- 



vating in every paragraph. Don't know that I 

 could add to it, and there is nothing 1 would 

 liave left out. V' . have certainly placed the Re- 

 view where no 'ive, practical bee-keeper can do 

 without it. Ench number is worth tlie price of a 

 year's subscription." 



EUGENE SECOR writes as follows : "1 

 liave just laid down the REVIEW for Sep. What 

 a deliphtful. chatty spirit pervades your editori- 

 als. I want to encourage yoii in your wcrk. 1 

 prf sume you get enough criticism, even if you do 

 not deserve it. It is no easy task, I believe, for 

 an editor to publish a journal like yours— so 

 nearly always right, and in such a kind sp rit to- 

 ward!< all. I coDgiatahty you. I believe that ed- 

 itors, like orators, are born, not made. Many a 

 man, educated to the printer's trade from boy- 

 hood up, fails to present !^o clean a sheet as yours. 

 Few proof readers, devoting till their time to that 

 one branoh of business, leave so few eirors unde- 

 tected. Rarely do editors, who dream they are 

 horn to write, ex<!el your style in clearness and 

 force "
