 page of this paper. 



It is Extravag-ant Economy not 



to have hives, sections, comb foundation, 

 etc., on h'and when needed. To prevent 

 disappointment, order early what you will 

 need in that line. Then the hives can be 

 nailed and painted in odd times, and the 

 sections put together, so as to be ready at a 

 minute's notice. It is a sad disappointment 

 to need these things and then not have 

 tliem on hand. They should be ordered 

 very soon. We are promised an early 

 spring, and a good honey crop. 



Oive a Copy of " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " to every one who buys a package 

 of honey. It will sell lots of it.

 editor). The special topic of this issue is 

 "TEMPERATUKE" as applied to bee-reposi- 

 tories. So much information on this topic has 

 probably never before been gathered into so 

 small a space. The treatment is e.\haustive,

 said on the suhjeet.

 such men as R. L Taylor James Hcddon, H. 

 R. Doardinan, F. Bnomhowpr, T. F. Bingham. 

 J. A. Buchanan and C. C. Mil er. 



Several pages are devoted to editorials upon 

 a variety of live topics. There are also choice 

 extracts from the writings of Prof. Cook, C. 

 W, Davton, C. C. Miller, and others. 



A list of contents will not be published, as
