THE COMING BEE. 



I believe tlmt, with most all well-cxpciiciui-il bee- 

 keepers, it is aibiiittcd tliiit. to take :iii\ one raee of 

 bees in its purity, the Italians are pfeteiahle to nil 

 Others; and yet it is also adiiiitteil, that the Cypri- 

 ans, Holy-Lands, and Carniolans all have j^ood 

 traits not loiind in the Italians. My etlorts have 

 been to combine the ^aad traits of all other new 

 races with the Italians, and yet retain all the sood 

 traits of the Italians, and I am happy to say that I 

 have succeeded, even beyond my most sanuiiine 

 expectation. 



HOW I DID IT. 



In the first place, the Italians, bein": the best, I 

 took them as the basis. From a tine imported Ital- 

 ian queen I raised a number of young' (pn-ens; and 

 liefore these were ready to become mated I con- 

 tracted the entrance of all hives except the Holy- 

 l.and bees, so as to not permit the drones to tlv. 

 Well, as there was <iuite a mimher of Holy-I.and 

 drones I siieeceded in haviiifi' some of these yonn^- 

 queens mated with them. Next 1 selected two of 

 the queens thus mated (which were veri' laij;e), 

 and from these two another lot of queens was rais- 

 ed; and by the same method I obtained some very 

 tlnequeetis mated with Cyprian drones, and these 

 are the queens I use to raise from. ]S!()U\ take no- 

 tice; as I allow no drones to tly except Italian, and 

 as all bees near me are Italians, all queens raised 

 from these crosses will be mated with Italian 

 (h'ones. Such queens i)i-oduce flue, large, prolific, 

 and energ-ctic workers. 



If you would like to see some live samples of 

 workers, send two letter-stamps and I will mail you 

 a dozen or so. 



Will send queens raised from imported stock, if 

 preferred. The Carniolan cjueens I raise will be 

 pure Carniolans, and mated with Italian drones. 

 All races will be sold at the same price.

FOR SALE, 



A SeCOND«H.\ND T WO-HORSE-POWEK 

 EUKKK.^ ENOINE AND BOILEIR. 



The above engine has been in use about five 

 years; but Mr. A. F. Stautter, of Sterling-, 111., of 

 whom we purchased it, writes in regard to it as 

 follows: 



I g-uai-antee the engine to be in good working- 

 shape, as good as it ever was. I had boiler examin- 

 ed last spring by a steam-fltter, and he pronounced 

 it as g-ood as new. I always used soft water. I am 

 furnishing my shop with new machinery and am 

 anxious to sell or exchange it. I have to get more 

 machinery, and my two-horse power is too light. 



Sterling-, 111. " A. F. St.^uffer. 



We will sell the above engine, to be taken at 

 Sterling, 111., for an even ,<S100, and we will put our 

 guarantee on top of that of friend S. We obtained 

 it of him in exchange for some new machinery, he, 

 of course, putting in a larger engine and boiler. 



Also one second-hand Pony Planer for sale. 

 Thisplaner is one that we used in our faetorv for 

 planing all our basswood plank, heavy liiinbei-, etc., 

 and was set aside only because of the increase ol 

 our business. The plane is 24 inches in width, and 

 such a machine would cost new 1(140 net cash. It is 

 all in good trim, and ready for work, with an extra 

 pair of new knives, and it will be sold for just half 

 price, or $70.00.
