Sirong, well made in every respect, light, and of conven-

 Wis., a bee-keeper who produces tons and tons of extracted 

 honey, says of it: 



After curefully examining and trying the Cowan extractor, I 

 have failed to find a weak part, and I do not hesitate to say that 

 it is the best extractor made, both in regard to convenience and 

 durability, and I shall replace all of my five machines with the 

 Cowan as soon as possible.

Give 



and Take 



Ts the motto of the Coiled Sprhig Fence. It gives to 

 contraction what it takes from e.xpansion. It gives 

 unruly stock as good as it gets. It gives barb wire 

 notice to quit, and takes the lead of the opposition. 

 It gives odds to all competitors and takes sweep- 

 stakes every time. 7-6db

I Challenge 



Any one to produce bet- 

 '{v \ ter queens than my Five= 

 J.. \\„A banded Golden Italians. 

 k>^ ^ \ A good many offer lower= 

 priced queens; but, as 

 there is a class of intelli- 

 gent bee - keepers who 

 want tlie best, I prefer to 

 supply them than to rear

 \t^ tt'i |M please" plan, that could 



lilt IV \Ji ^'^ ®°'*^ cheaper. Mj' aim 



"a /T wi is to rear the very best, 



regardless of cost. 



Just imagine handling 

 bees at any time, regardless of weather or robbers, 

 and using no smoke, and never getting stung. 

 That is the way 1 handle the colony of nij- best 

 breeding queen ; but you ought to see them roll in 

 the honey!
