READERS OF THE REVIEW: 



We do not propose to come at 

 you with hammer and tongs, nor 

 to talk you to d^^ath ; but, as the 

 Root Co. has bought this page — 

 paid cash for it — we want to 



BLOW OUR OWN HORN, 



not ill our O'wn journal, but in 

 that of the other fellow. We are 

 going to try to make this page 

 interesting, and, incidentally, tell 

 you about our wares. 



GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



We know there are certain dis- 

 tinctive advantages in taking a 

 bee journal entirely separate 

 from the manufacture of apiari- 

 an implements, for the Review is 

 a good example of it; but there 

 are certain other advantages in 

 taking one that is connected with 

 the supply busine.ss. I have not 

 the space to give them all; but 

 here is one: Just as soon as the 

 editor gets hold of a good idea, 

 h'.' can, with the factory back of 

 him, bring it before the public — 

 yc.i, popularize it; and if it is a 

 good thing his patrons are bene- 

 fitted accordingly. 

 But what about Gleanings in particular? Its editor is a bee-keeper, an enthusiast, an amateur 

 photographer, and travels thous^pnds of miles every sea.son to leani new kinks alwut bee-keeping. 

 He never goes off on one of these trips without taking along his caiile'a, and with this he enables his 

 sub-scribers to .see what he sees, and at a very small fraction of tlie expense it costs his company. 



Gleanings is published semi-monthly, 36 pages, and in a year it aggregates abo>it 1000 pages in 

 all. I,ast year the paper was illustrated with no less than 160 beamlTul engravings, and during the 

 coming year there will be as many more. But why need we tell morf,jll)out the journal? A better 

 way is to let us send you a .sample copy, an'd let it speak for itself; or,-%etter still, subscribe for it. 

 Just see here : V 



Two Papers for the Price of One. 



For $1.00 we will not only .send you Gleanings erne year, btitalso your choice of any of the 

 following papers for one year; The American Agriculturist, weekly; The Orange Judd 

 Farmer, weekly: The New England Homestead, weekly; The Farm Journal, monthly;

 of the following papers also one j-ear : The Ohio Farmer, weekh-; The Michigan Farmer,
