GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mar 1 



Our Advertisers. 



SWEET-POTATO SEED. 



See what I,. H. Mahan, Box 143, Terre Haute, Ind. 

 says on page 202. 



BELGIAN HARES. 



We do not keep them, but you can get them of J. F. 

 Moore, Tiffin, Ohio. See page 209. 



SPLIT HICKORY. 



What about it? See what the Ohio Carriage Mfg. 

 Co., 27 W. Broad St., Columbus, C, say on page 203. 



By some mistake our regular bee-supply catalog, in 

 referrring to our other catalogs, mentions a plant 

 catalog. We do not issue such a catalog now, and 

 our friends will do well to write to some of our adver- 

 tisers. Flansburgh & Peirson, whose advertisement is 

 found on page 205, can probably supply about all we 

 have listed heretofore. 



HUNGRY HOGS. 



The John A. Salser Seed Company, of La Crosse, 

 Wis., the great farm-seed growers, have some splen- 

 did seed sorts to cure the hunger of the hogs, and 

 make them happy, fat, healthy, and contented In 

 their Peaoat, a perfect food, in' the green state, or in 

 their Giant Incarnat Clover, or Sand Vetch, or Cow 

 Peas, or Rape, they have heavy cropping, quick pro- 

 ducing foods, that tempt the appetite of the swine, or 

 cow, or sheep, or poultry, or horse. Every mouthful 

 of this food seems to give contentment and adds flesh 

 and fat. Their great catalog tells all about it. Have 

 you seen a copy ? If not, send for one to-day, inclos- 

 ing 5 cents poi^tage. 



Get the Best Queens. 



Evansville, Ind., Sept. 27th, 1900. 

 The Jennie Atchley Co., Beeville, Bee Co., Texas: 



Dear Friends:— It gives me great plea.sure to forward 

 you this unsolicited testimonial regarding the merits 

 of Atchley queens. The three (3) dozen queens pur- 

 chased of you have made an excellent record for 

 themselves. Not an Atchley queen among the twenty 

 colonies lost during the severe drouth in July. I have 

 bought queens from many breeders; and although the 

 present crop is exceedingly short, the tiers of supers 

 show where the Atchley queens are, and speak vol- 

 umes for your method of queen-rearing. I find the 

 progeny to be very gentle, strong winged, uniformly 

 marked, long-lived, of large size, and last, but not 

 least, the best honey-gatherers I ever had. I shall 

 want 100 more next season. 



Yours fraternally, J. C. Wallenmeyer.

BINGHAM SMOKER. 



Dear Sir:— Inclosed find 81.75. Please 

 send one brass Smoke-engine. I have 

 one already. It is the best smoker I 

 ever used. Truly yours, 



Henry Schmidt, Hutto, Tex 



Bin g ham Brass Smokers 



Made of sheet brass, which does not rust or burn out ; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 same size. The little open cut shows our brass hinge put on the 

 three larger sizes. No wonder Bingham's 4-inch smoke-engine 

 goes without puffing, and does not drop inky drops. The perforated 

 steel fire-grate has 381 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 



Heavy tin smoke-engine, 4-inch stove, per mail, $1.50 ; 3^-inch, 

 81.10; 3-inch, 81.00; 2^-inch, 90c; 2-inch, 65c. Bingham smokers are 

 the originals, and have all the improvements, and have been the 

 standard of excellence for 22 years. Only three larger ones brass.
