"DECIDED! 



A Patent on this "Boss" One-Piece Seel ion, here- 

 tofore called the LEWIS SECTION, THE FIN- 

 EST SECTION IN THE WOULD, has been al- 

 lowed to James Forncrook. 



We clip the following from Lewis & Parks' adver- 

 tisement of May number of A. B. J. to show how 

 they have tried to mislead the public in this matter. 



NOTICE.— There is no patent on the above Sec- 

 tion, and the Examiner of Interferences of the Pat- 

 ent Office has adjudged the same unpatentable; so 

 any one has an undisputed right to manufacture, 

 sell, or use the same. Do not be misled by parties 

 claiming a patent on the same. 



We leave this matter to the public to judge who 

 has tried to mislead. This, however, will make no 

 diffierence with the price of these Sections, as we 

 shall sell them at the old price. 4Mx4)i at $6. We 

 will make the One-Piece Section any size desired. 

 Liberal discounts on orders of 5 and 10 thousand 

 lots. Send for new price list, issued May 1st. Full 

 Colony of Italian Bees. $6.

You can lean on a Bing- 

 ham Smoker in the hour of 

 trial. One match per day, 

 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 i 

 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- 

 ing the most unbounded'satisfactinn 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 ever 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 Pig," etc., says of my boar 

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

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

 Feb. 2:1, 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.
