Old Standbys.— The A. I. Root Co., to whom w€ 

 have sold queens for many years, wrote us last May, 

 inus : "Are you running low on queens? We hope 

 not, as you seem to be our standbys. Send us 24 pet 

 week instead of 12, till further orders."

 you sent me la.st year beat any thing I ever saw rear- 

 ing brood and filling their hives with honey.— J. Niel- 

 sen, Huntington, Utah, Sept. 4, 1901. 



Is Great.— The nucleus you sent me last fall is great 

 — the finest queen that ever crossed the plains. 

 Please duplicate her this time. Mr. Jordan says the 

 nucleus vou sent him cast two fine swarms. — G. R.

MADE TO ORDER 



Bin gham Brass Smokers, 



Made of sheet brass, which does not m.st or burn out; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but tliey 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 four-inch smoke-engine 

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

 ed steel fire-grate has 3,S1 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 

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

 $1.10; 3-inch. $1.00; 2>4-inch, 90c; 2-inch, (»c. Bingham smokers are 

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

 standard of excellence for 23 years. Only three larger ones brass.
