Some Correspondents 



That will contribute to the Review 



for 1900 are pictured on this page. 



For some time there has been com- 

 plaint that the Review devoted too 



much space to the subject of comb 



honey production, to the neglect of 



extracted honey. This defect is to 



be remedied in 1900. "Ladies first," 



is a good motto, and the January Re- 

 view will probably contain an article 



from Miss Ada L.Pickard of Rich- 

 land Center, Wisconsin. Ever since 



she Vv'as a little girl she has worked in 

 the apiary with her mother; and, in 1S9S, she managed an out-apiary of 100 colonies; 

 securing 16,000 pounds of extracted honey as the result of her labor. In my Wiscon- 

 sin trip last summer I found her in an out-apiary fifteen miles from home. In the 

 January Review she will describe her hives, implements, methods, etc., and I will give 

 a frontispiece showing her out-apiary with its background of wooded hills, and a lit- 

 tle brook in the foreground. 



Next on the list is Mr. Herbert Clute of Greenwood, Wisconsin, who was brought 

 up in the bee business by that old veteran, Frank McXay; and who, during the five 

 years that he has been in business for himself, has produced about 75,000 pounds of 

 extracted honey; building up a nice apiary, honey-house and wintering-cellar; all of 

 which he will describe, and I will illustrate, in an early issue of the Review. 



Harry Lathrop of Browntown, Wisconsin, is far from being a stranger to the api- 

 cultural world, having been in the business about eighteen years. During this time 

 he has built up and managed, by means of some help, two apiaries, while being sta- 

 tion-agent lor a railroad, and written some most excellent and practical articles for the 

 journals. In the Review he will tell how he produces extracted honey with eight- 

 frame, Langstroth hives; and I will give a picture of his apiary — the neatest that I saw 

 in Wisconsin. 



Few men have had more experience in the production of extracted honey than 

 hasN. E. France of Platteville, Wisconsin. I have been figuring it up, and, as nearly as 

 I can make it out, he has, in the past twentj' years, produced at least 300,000 pounds of 



extracted honey. When I was at his 



place I was particularly struck by his 



practical, systematic, business-like 



methods; and he has promised to tell 



tlie readers of the Review about these 

 ^^^^ methods before the opening of another ^BA i"!3 I 



^^^^^ '^^^1 season; and I have about half a dozen 

 V^Hr ^^^H "lost excellent photographs with which 

 .^¥^^^^^^M, to illustrate his articles.
