THE BEE-KEEPERS* REVIEW 



THIS AND THAT 



A Swarm of Bees. 

 Once a little boy and I went out for 

 a walk. He saw a swarm of bees in a 

 tree and said, "What are those things?" 

 I said, "They are honey bees; throw a 

 stick at them and see them fly." So he 

 did, and one stung him in the eye and 

 he cried, "Pull it out !"

 Editor Review: Kindly discontinue 

 my name in the "Honey for Sale" col- 

 umn, as am all sold out. Fully 90% 

 of my extracted honey I sold as result 

 of that little notice. I averaged a shade 

 under 9c per pound for clover. I thank 

 you and wish the National Association 

 and Review the success which they mer- 

 it. I am, fraternally, G. M. Brewer. 



Elkader, Iowa, Feb. 5, 1914. 



Editor Review : Please take my name 

 off the list of parties that have honey 

 to .=ell, for my honey is all sold, and 

 most of the sales were made through 

 the assistance of the National Bee- 

 Keepers' Association. I believe the Na- 

 tional is all right and getting better 

 every day. Thanking you for past fav- 

 ors, I remain, yours very truly, 



John G. Wagner. 



Editor Review : 



Dear Sir — I enclose one dollar to ap- 

 ply on Review debt. I believe there 

 are National meml)ers enough who by 

 giving $1.00 each (and never miss the 

 money) could wipe out the debt. The 

 question is, will they or will they wait 

 for the other fellow? 



Yours truly, 



Floyd Markham. 



[We do not think they will wait much 

 longer, friend Markham, as we have 

 received several letters from those who 

 expect to contribute soon to the Re- 

 view debt. You will notice that the 

 list is much larger this month than 

 heretofore, which is very encouraging. 

 We thank you, friend Markham, for 

 the donation, as well as the other 

 friends who have so liberally contrib- 

 uted. — Ed.] 



Fort Edward, N. Y., Dec. 6th, 1913. 

 Editor Review : My honey is all sold. 

 Please discontinue my name in the free 

 adv. column in the Review of members 

 having honey for sale. Thanking you 

 for 3'our help in disposing of my crop, I 

 remain, yours truly, 



Orville L. Safford. 



Blackfoot, Idaho, Jan. 13, '14. 

 Editor Bee-Keepers' Review : 



Dear Sir — ^Do not stop the Review. 

 I believe our Association is going to 

 send in its members' renewals. I have 

 ordered it through Idaho Honey Pro- 

 ducer.s' Association. 



I will attend the National Conven- 

 tion at St. Louis as delegate from this 

 Association. 



Yours truly, 



T. H. Stoneman. 



Brecksville, Ohio. Jan. 3rd. 1914. 



Editor Review : Enclosed please find 

 two dollars for my renewal to the Re- 

 view, and that of my friend, Geo. Haas. 

 Mr. Haas is just a beginner with bees. 

 It was stated in the Review that each 

 subscriber should get at least one new 

 subscriber, so here is mine. Am trying 

 hard to get some more subscribers. They 

 do a tremendous lot of hesitating but I 

 think some will come to it later. Yours 

 truly, 



Gust Renxert. 



[Friend Rennert : We thank you for 



the subscriber sent us. and appreciate 



your effort to get more. We presume 



it does take a "tremendous" amount of 

 persuasion to get some to subscribe for 

 the Reviev/. Mr. Hutchinson used to 

 tell the writer that it cost him two dol- 

 lars for each new subscriber to the Re- 

 view, in which case you have earned 

 your Review for two years by sending 

 us this one subscriber. Wish we were 

 able to make our subscribers such offer 

 (to those who will send in one sub- 

 scriber a two years' subscription to the 

 Review). We cannot do it now, but 

 may be able some day to do this very 

 thing.- — Ed.]
