ENGLISH YOU KNOW." 



How the genuine Bingham bee-smoker is looked 

 upon in England, where we have no patents, and 

 any one can make or use or sell just such smokers 

 as he pleases or thinks best. The editor of the 

 weekly British Bre .Imirual, Thos. W. Cowan, after 

 using five full columns and nine good cuts in il- 

 lustrating the Bingham bee smoker (space and cuts 

 that would have cost us more than one hundred 

 dollars), says, " A real Bingham will send a greater 

 volume of smoke, and that to a greater distance, 

 than any other smoker we know. We have had 

 such a smoker in use since 1878; and although we 

 have been obliged to renew the bari-el, which be- 

 came worn through from constant use, nothuig has 

 been done to the bellows, which is just as good as it 

 was on the first day we had it. A smoker like this 

 will burn almost any sort of fuel that will produce 

 smoke when smouldering. We use old rags, brown 

 paper, or sacking; but peat, decaj'ed wood, or even 

 ordinary firewood, will do when it is well kindled."

 sold in the United States, and the genuine Bingham 

 & Hethcrington uncapping-knives, send card for
