Of the brood-nest can be made 

 very profiiahle if practiced in 

 the rij^dit manner, with the right 

 kind of hives and apphances, 

 in the ii;^ht locality and in the 

 right lime of the season. The 

 reverse will prove trne if mis- 

 takes are made. Vonr locality 

 may be one in which contrac- 

 tion, if rightly m.inaged, would 

 pat many dollars into your 

 pocket. All of these points are 

 fully explained in one of the 

 chapters of Advanced Bee 

 CULTl'RE. Besides this, the 

 book contains 31 other chapters 

 n e qually important subjects. 

 Price of the book, 50 cts. ; the 

 Review one year ( and twelve 

 b.ick numbers ) and the book 

 for only 5i-25.

I have a nearly new, Van 

 Allen & Williams Honey P'x- 

 tractor for sale. It has four 

 baskets of the right size for ex- 

 tracting Langstroth combs, and 

 they can l^e reversed automati- 

 cally — without stopping the ma- 

 chine. The regular price of this 

 machine is $20.00, but, as this 

 has been used some, I will sell 

 it for |;i5,oo. I would exchange 

 it for bees, or anything else I 

 could use.

Is apparent in comb honej' when 

 the Van Deusen, flat - bottom 

 foundation is used. This style 

 of foundation allows the making 

 of a more uniform article, hav- 

 ing a very thin base, with the 

 surplus wax in the side - walls, 

 where it can be utilized by the 

 bees. Then the bees, in chang- 

 ing the base of the cells to the 

 natural shape, work over the 

 wax to a certain extent; and the 

 result is a comb that can scarcely 

 be distinguished from that built 

 wholly by the bees. Being so 

 thin, (->ne pound will fill a large 

 number of sectif)ns. 



All the Tiouble of wiring 

 brood frames can be avoided by 

 using the Van Deusen ivired. 



Send for circular; price list, 

 and samples of foundation.
