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 pulling, blowing, smoking, and brush- 

 ing bees; no time is wasted in these 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 inside 

 the lii\o. before the honey is removed. Leading 

 Bee»keepers use the Porter Escape, and say that 

 without a trial it is impossibleto realize the amount 

 of ve.xatious, annoying, disagi'eeable work that it 

 saves. The cost is only 20 cts. each, or $3.35 per doz. 

 As in the past, this escape is manufactured by the 

 Porters, but The A. I. Hoot Co. are now the ex- 

 clusive selling agents for this country. Order of 

 your dealer or of
