Dear Friends:— It gives me great pleasure to forward 

 yon this unsolicited testimonial regarding the merits 

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

 chased of you have made an excellent record for them- 

 selves. Not an Atchley queen among the twenty colo- 

 nies lost during the severe drouth in July. I've 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 volumes for 

 your method of queen-rearing. I find the progeny to 

 be ver\- 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.

 one already. It is the best smoker I 

 ever used. Truly yours,

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost Sy cts. more than tin of llie 

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

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

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

 ed steel fire-grate has3Sl holes to air the fuel and support the fire.
