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 puflfing, blowing, smoking, and brush- 

 ing bees; no time is wasted in those disagreeable 

 operations; and no stings received in resentment of 

 such treatment; tlie 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. Tf there are any broken 

 burr-combs tlip- are cleaned up by the bees innide 

 the hive, be ,.e tlie honey is removed. Leading 

 Bee-keepers use the Porter Escape, and say that 

 without a trial it is impossible to realize the amount 

 <jf vexatious, annoying, disagreeable work that it 

 saves. The cost is only ~'0 cts. each, or $3.25 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 tills country. Order of your dealer 

 or of 



THE A. I. ROOT CO., Medina, Ohio.

 complete for comb honey; bees and hives in good

Our Leader Pump, 



For Wells and Cisterns. 



We have frequently 

 had calls for a good 

 well-pump but have 

 not heretofore tried to 

 supply the demand. 

 Having a very favor- 

 able opportunity we 

 contracted to have 

 made for us 50 pumps 

 as shown in the adjoin- 

 ing cut. We are using 

 one of them in a cis- 

 tern, and can testify 

 that it is a good pump, 

 and a spe- 

 cial bargain 

 at the price 

 we ask. 



Equal to 

 pumps gen- 

 erally sold 

 for 17 to $10. 

 Our price is 

 *4..")0t'ach;2 

 foi- $8.00. 

 (,Hiantities 

 :it very low 

 n rices quot- 

 ed on appli- 

 cation. 

 This pump 

 has an ad- 

 j u s t a b 1 e 

 base and 

 brace, mak- 

 ing it very 

 easy to in- 

 crease or 

 decrease 

 the height 

 of the 

 pump. 



It liHS an 

 im proved, 

 reversible fulcrum or handle- 

 iieai-er. This fulcrum differs 

 from all others in that it ex- 

 tends downward to the bottom 

 of the reservoir-head, forming a 

 double bearing or support, do- 

 ing away with the 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 has steel bolts and plunger- 

 rod, making it very much 

 stronger and more durable than 

 the ordinary iron bolts and rod 

 generally used in the construc- 

 tion of this 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 H- 

 inch tubing measuring 4 feet to 

 bottom of cylinder. We will in- 

 clude at the retail price 4 feet 

 of tubing additioUHl. Extra 

 tubing, IH inch, at 10 cents per 

 foot. Cylinder is iron, not brass 

 lined. A briiss-lined cylinder 

 can be furnished for 75c. e.\tra. 

 It may he used in wells to the 

 depth of 20 to 30 feet, as well as 

 in cisterns.
