LABOR-SAVING DEVICES. 



Cowan's Honey-extractor. 



During the last few months considerable time has been spent 

 on the improvement of the Reversible Extractor. The arms of 

 the reel are made of regular channel iron, with a hub formed 

 of sheet metal riveted together, making the reel stronger, and 

 lighter in weight. By the use of planed teeth on the bevel 

 gear it produces less noise, and makes the machine run easier. 

 We make them in the following sizes for L. frames: 



No. 20— Two-frame, 24-inch can $16.00 



No. 25— Four- frame, 28-inch can 23.00 



No. 30 — Six-frame, 31-inch can 30.00 



Many other sizes and styles. 



"We have used quite a number of extractors in our work, and 

 find that it pays to keep up with the times and use the latest 

 improved styles, and now use the COWAN. For general use 

 the four-frame extractor gives the best results. There is no 

 doubt but a two-frame extractor could be worked to advantage 

 in a large apiary. It is certainly a fact that, in a two-frame 

 extractor, the combs are so near the center, the labor of turn- 

 ing the machine is trifling."

The German Steam Wax 

 and Honey Press. 



We feel that we have filled a long-felt want by of- 

 fering this Wax and Honey Press. By putting in the 

 combs and applying pressure, all the honey can be 

 obtained from them. Then by applying steam and 

 more ^aressure the wax can be drawn off. thus obtain- 

 ing all that is possible from your combs. The same 

 machine can also be used for an uncapping-can. It 

 is something every bee-keeper should $li| OO 

 own. Made in only one size m^UU 



Foul-Brood Inspector McEvoy, of Canada, Says: 



Wood burn, Ontario, Apr. 25, 1904. 

 Friend Root : — Your wax-press received and tested. It is 

 certainly one of the best and most profitable articles ever got- 

 ten up for the benefit of bee-keepers, and will soon go into use 

 in every section where bees are kept. 



Yours very truly, Wm. McEvoy.
