Advantages of Bee-Escapes. 



No sweat steals down the heated cheeks and ach- 

 ing back of the bee-keeper as the result of standing 

 in the hot sun puffing, blowing, smoking, and brush- 

 ing bees; no time is wasted in tliese disagreeable 

 operations; and no stings received in resentment of 

 such treatment; the honey is secured free from 

 black or even the taint of smoke; the cappings are 

 not injured by the gnawings of bees; and robbers 

 stand no show whatever. If there are any broken 

 burr-combs they are cleaned up by the bees inxide 

 the hive, before the honey is removed. Leading 

 Bee-keepers use the Porter Escape, and say that 

 without a trial it is iinpossililetn realize the amount 

 of ve.xatious, annoying, disa.ureoal)If work that it 

 saves. The cost is only 3u cts. each, or $3.35 per doz. 

 As in the past, this escape is manufactured by the 

 Porters, but The A. I. Root Co. has secured control 

 of the sale for this country. Order of your dealer
