ROOT'S POWER HONEY-EXTRACTORS 



Our new catalog is full of information about these labor-saving machines. With the difficulty of getting competent help, 

 the power extractors are being sold largely in this and foreign countries, and the present demand is far greater than ever 

 before. Read what a California producer says in a letter to a disinterested party, which we were permitted to publish: 



Gentlemen —1 should like to say a few words in favor of the ball-bearing Root Automatic Extractor, as I believe it is as near perfec- 

 tion as it can be. This machine runs so easily that a few turns to gret it UD to speed is all that is necessary: and the men. while usin? the 

 No. 17, which I formerly had. could average only looo lbs. per day. while with this machine they can average 2000 lbs. with but one additional 

 man. No apiary can afford to be without one of these machines. 



I feel like congratulating The A. I. Root Co. for making an invention that is such a satisfaction, financially to the honey-producers 

 interests. B. B HOGABOOM. Elk Grove. Calif. 



—HERE ARE A FEW MORE— 



A word about the power extractor I purchased from vou through H. L. Jones, of Goodna. I found it to work very satisfactorily, and it 

 will do all it is claimed to do and more. I use the gasoline engine for several purposes besides driving the eight-frame extractor, such as 

 driving the washing-machine for the lady of the house, and corn cracking and grinding. I consider it one of the best speculations I made 

 in connection with the apiary. F. C. GOLDER. Pittsworth. Queensland. 



Yours of the i6th, also the brakeband for power-extractor, came to hand. Thanks for sending it so promptly. This is my second 

 season with the power extractor. I would not like to be without it now, even if I had only fifty colonies, 



DAVID RUNNING, Grindstone City, Mich., July 1° ,1910. 



I received the extractor I ordered of you some time ago. It arrived in good shape. I set it up and extracted lu quarts of honey, 

 sold it at 35 cents a quart. The extractor is just fine— does the work completely. F. D. KING, .Athens, Ohio, Aug. 16, 1012. 



The engine I got of you this spring has done fine. We ran it all fall, and never had any trouble at all.

White Sweet Clover Seed 



Sweet Clover is rapidly becoming one of the most useful things that can be 

 grown on the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well known to bee-keepers, but 

 its worth as a forage-plant and also as an enricher of the soil is not so widely 

 known. However, Sweet Clover is coming to the front very fast these days. 

 Some years ago it was considered as a weed by those who knew no better. The 

 former attitude of the enlightened farmer today is changing to a great respect 

 for and appreciation of Sweet Clover, both as a food for stock tnd as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn-out soils. 



The seed should be sown either in the fall or early in the spring. 20 to 2,5 

 pounds per acre of unhulled seed is about the rifht quantity to sow. We can 

 ship promptly at the following prices for the white variety: 



Postpaid, one pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds for 50 cents. 

 By express, f. o. b. Hamilton — 5 pounds for 80c ; 10 pounds 

 for $1.50 ; 25 pounds for $3.75 ; 50 pounds for $7.00 ; or 

 100 pounds for $13.00. 

 Seed will be shipped on receipt of order
