You can lean on a Bing- 

 ham Smoker in the hour of 

 trial. One match per dav, 

 and wood of any kind, is all 

 that's needed. It needs no 

 fussing or cleaning' or dam- 

 pers, as it works just as well 

 pointing down as up, and 

 never goes out. Previous 

 to my invention and patent, 

 the draft to all bellows was * 

 through the bellows; now, { 

 all bellows smokers use an 

 open draft. The largest and 

 most scientific bee-keepers 

 use Bingham Smokers, some 

 using as many as fifteen in 

 their various apiaries. 



No Bingham Smoker has 

 ever been returned. No let- 

 ter has ever been received 

 complaining that our Smo- 

 kers did not give satisfac- 

 tion; but we have received 

 hundreds of letters express- 

 ins- the most unbounded satisfaction and apprecia- 

 tion of our invention. Hundreds of them have been 

 in constant use three seasons, and are now as good 

 as new. One dollar and a half is not much for the 

 use of such an instrument three seasons, is it? Pat- 

 ented January 9, 1878: re-issued July 9, 1878. 



The extra large Smoker and the Extra Standard 

 for 1880 will have our new extra-wide shields, which 

 entirely protect the hands and bellows from heat, 

 and remove the danger of burning the fingers. 

 Practical bee-keepers will find these wide shields an 

 important improvement. 



The Bingham & Hetherington Patent Uncapping 

 Knife is a large, strong, durable knife, polished and 

 tempered like a razor, and so formed and sharpened 

 as to cut both ways, over hills and through hollows 

 all the same, without dropping a cap on the honey. 

 The most world-renowned, practical, and scientific 

 bee-keepers in Europe and America pronounce it 

 "the best honey-knife e\ er made."

PRIZE BRED ESSEX PIGS. 



Essex are the best farmers' pig; have been known 

 to dress 90 per cent of live weight; are small bone 

 and light offal; quick to mature. Jos. Harris, au- 

 thor of "Harris on the Pi?," etc., says of my boar 

 "Porter," that he is the "finest Essex pig he ever 

 saw." A few Pedigree Pigs for disposal, (farrowed 

 Feb. 23, and March 1, 1880) at moderate prices, suita- 

 ble for breeding or exhibition. Personal inspection 

 of my stock is solicited. All correspondence will 

 have cheerful and prompt attention.
