BEE-KEEPER'S 



GOLD-NIB 

 FOUNTAIN PEN 



A really good 

 pen. As far as 

 true usefulness 

 goes it is equal 

 to any of the high- 

 er-priced, much- 

 advertised pens. 

 If you pay more it's 

 the name you're 

 charged for. The Gold 

 Nib IS guaranteed 14 Karat gold. 

 Iridium pointed. The holder is 

 hard-rubber, handsomely finish- 

 ed. The cover fits snugly and 

 cant slip off because it slightly 

 wedges over the barrel at either 

 end. This pen is non-leakable. 

 It IS very easily cleaned, the pen- 

 point and feeder being quickly 

 removed. The simple feeder 

 gives a uniform supply of ink to 

 the pen-point without dropping, 

 blotting or spotting. Every bee- 

 keeper ought to carry one in his 

 vest-pocket. Comes in box with 

 directions and filler. Each pen 

 guaranteed. Here shown H ac- 

 tual size. 



Price alone, postpaid, $1.00. With 

 a year's subscription, $1.7o. 

 Given free for i new subscrip- 

 tions at $1.00 each.

IDEAL HIVE-TOOL

 by a Minnesota bee 

 keeper, adapted 

 for prying up su 

 pers and for gen- 

 eral work around 

 the apairy. Made 

 of malleable iron, 

 8V4 inches long. The 

 middle part is 1 1-16 

 inches wide and 7-32 

 thick. The smaller 

 end is 1 7-8 inches long, 

 1-2 inch wide, and 7-32 

 thick, ending like a 

 screw-driver. The 

 larger end is wedge- 

 shaped having a sharp, 

 semicircular edge, 

 making it almost per- 

 fect for prying up cov- 

 ers, supers, etc., as it 

 does not mar the wood. 

 Dr. Miller, who has 

 used it since 1903 says, 

 January 7, 1H07: "I 

 think as much of the 

 tool as ever."
