No sweat steals down the heated cheeks and ach- 

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

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

 ing bees; no time is wasted in these disagreeable 

 operations; and no stings received in resentment of 

 such treatment; the honej' 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 inside 

 the hive, before the honey is removed. Leading 

 Bee=keepers use the Porter Escape, and say tliat 

 without a trial it is impossible to realize the amount 

 of vexatious, annoying, disagreealile work that it 

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

 the height 

 of the 

 l)ump. 



It has an 

 im proved, 

 reversible fulcrum or handle- 

 bearer. This fulcrum differs 

 from all others in that it ex- 

 tends downward to the bottom 

 of the reservoir-head, forming a 

 • ui)le bearing or support, do- 

 i g away with tlie numerous 

 set-screws commonly used on 

 other pumps and which are so 

 unreliable. The handle may be 

 set opposite or at right angles 

 to the spout, or, in fact, in any 

 position. 



It lias steel bolts and plunger- 

 I'od, makine it very much 

 sironger and more durable than 

 the ordinary iron bolts and rod 

 generally used in the construc- 

 tion of tills class of pumps. 



It has an improved siphon 

 spout and reservoir, causing it 

 to throw a smooth, steady 

 stream. 



The pump is made with 1 !»- 

 inch tubing measuring 4 feet to 

 bottom of cylinder. We will in- 

 clude at the retail price 4 feet 

 of tubing additional. Extra 

 tubing. 1^4 inch, at 10 cents per 

 foot. Cylinder is iron, not brass 

 lined. A brass-lined cylinder 

 can be furnished for Toe. extra. 

 It may be used in wells to the 

 depth of 20 to 30 feet, as well as 

 in cisterns.
