THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



BEE ESCAPES 



No sweat steals down the cheeks and aching 

 Dack of the ti red bee-keeper, as the result of standing 

 in the hot sun, puffing, blowing, smoking and 

 brushing bees; no time is wasted in these disagree- 

 able operations, and no stings received in resent- 

 ment of such treatment; the honey is secured free 

 from black or even the tainl of smoke; the cappings 

 are not injured by the gnawing ol the bees; and rob- 

 bers stand no show whatever. If there are any 

 burr-combs, ttiey are cleaned up by the bees inside 

 the hive, before the honey is removed. Leading 

 bee-keepers use the PORTER escape, and say that 

 without a trial it is impossible to realize the amount 

 of vexatious, annoying, disagreeable work that it 

 Saves. The cost is only 20 cts. each, or $2.25 per 

 dozen.

Letter Copylsng 



)S tow sale 



Keeping a copy of every letter sent out is a 

 necessity with any extensive business-it saves 

 endless disputes and many dollars. The most 

 common method is that of using a copying book, 

 dampening the leaves, laying in the letters to be 

 copied, and apply. ng pressure w th a screw-press. 



In a trade recently made, I have come into pos- 

 session of a letter copying press, size 9x11 inches. 

 As 1 already had such a press 1 don t need this one. 

 I inquired at our stationer's, and find that the price 

 of such a press is S8.40 This press of mine is 

 exactly as good as new, but 1 would be glad to sell 

 it for S5 00.

Cyprians 

 Golden Jubilee Queens 



It is just 50 years since 1 began bee keeping in 

 Southern Michigan, and 30 years since I advertised 

 queens for sale from my apiary in Central Michi- 

 gan; 30 years ago 1 sent the first Cyprians direct 

 from the Island of Cyprus to America- They are 

 great honey gatherers. Queens bred and mated in 

 Cyprus in 1910, S5 and S6 each; home-bred, $1 

 each, 5 for S4.
