GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 15. 



A Grand Success. 



Mew Cowan Reversible 



Honey-Extractor. 



May be Reversed without Stopping the Machine. 



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

 ient size. The can is but little larger than that of the 

 Novice. The gear is beveled, and covered by an iron shield, 

 and the crank outside the can. Frank McNay, of Mauston, 

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

 honey, says of it: 



After carefully exiimiriing- and trying the Cowan extractor, I 

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

 it is tJie best extractor made, both in reg-ard to convenience and 

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

 Cowan as soon as possible. 



It is indorsed also by J. F. Mclntyre, an extensive ex- 

 tracted-honey producer in California; by W. Z. Hutchinson, 

 Dr. C. C. Miller, Dr. A. B. Mason, and others. 



Price all Complete, Japanned and Lettered, for L. Frame, $10.

NEW CRANE SMOKERJVOW_READY. 



Smoking Capacity and Strength of 

 Blast Simply Amazing. 



The New Non-Smoke-Sucking Check-Valve, by 



wliich a grreat blast is secured and the bellows kept clean, and 

 the double lining of Asbestos and Sheet-steel, by 



which the fire-cup and nozzle are kept from becoming- uncom- 

 fortably hot during usage, are DISTINCTIVE and VALUA- 

 BLE features alone possessed by the new implement. It would 

 be impossible to tell of all its unique features, and so we say, 

 try it and fall in love with it. 



Price, with 3i-inch fire-cup and curved nozzle, by mail, S2.00; 

 by express, $1.75. 



If your nearest dealer in supplies does not keep it, write to

Good News. 



For years I have not been able to dress myself; 

 and for many weeks have had to be lifted out in my 

 bed and chair. Under the pressure of necessity! 

 have invented a device by which a child can put me 

 to bed or take me up. The device can be used in 

 any room or part of a room. A practical, simple, 

 cheap device. Invalids will do well to correspond. 

 I can help you. You can help me. Address
