BEE-KEEPING : THE OLD AND THE NEW. 31 



and the progressive minds of ou,r own. Mr. Quinby 

 much admired Mr. "Wagner, and was wont to speak of his 

 services in this direction with marked appreciation. This 

 " American Bee Journal " is now published by Thos. G. 

 Newman, Chicago, Ills., and is the only weekly devoted 

 to this pursuit in this country. It is sustained by an able 

 corps of contributors. 



" Gleanings in Bee-Culture," published by A. I. Root, 

 Medina, Ohio, is a semi-monthly periodical, well worthy 

 of the patronage of every enterprising bee-keeper. 



" The Bee-keeper's Magazine " is an outcome of " The 

 Bee-keeper's Journal and National Agriculturist," for- 

 merly published by H. A. King & Co., and sustains its 

 position creditably among the bee-keepers of the country. 

 It is published by King & Aspinwall, New York City. 



" The Bee-keeper's Guide " is published monthly at 

 Kendall ville, Ind., by A. G. Hill. It improves each year. 



"Kansas Bee-keeper," Scovell & Pond, Columbus, 

 Kansas. This has improved greatly since its first appear- 

 ance, and now having Mr. Pond as associate editor, it 

 will lose nothing in value or reputation. 



We have long felt the need of a bee journal edited by 

 a practical bee-keeper who would, in the broadest sense, 

 publish it in the interest of scientific and practical 

 apiculture ; one that was in no way connected with a 

 supply trade, and consequently free to speak of every- 

 thing used by bee-keepers as the merits demand. 



We have had no such journal until the appearance of 

 the "American Apiculturist " in May, 1883, edited and 

 published by S. M. Locke, Salem, Mass. This has more 

 than met the expectations of its friends, and is improving 

 with every number. In many of its features it suits me 

 better than any other journal published in the English 

 language. This continued growth will enable it to become 

 instrumental in elevating this branch of agriculture to a 

 much higher plane than it has ever before occupied.
