Seasonable 



Suggestions. 



Use TKe Porter Spring' Escape. 



When taking off surplus this is the greatestsav- 

 ing device. It does awav w th the shaking of the 

 heavy supers, the cruelty of excessive smoking 

 which causes the bees to uncap their honey and 

 start robbing. Just tip the super to the angle of 

 -15° and insert the board. In a few hours it is free 

 of bees: then take off your super. No need smok- 

 ing. You can as well afford to be without a smok- 

 er as without the Porter Bee-escape. Order to-day. 



PRICE : 20c each : dozen. $2.25; po.stpaid. With 

 board, 35c each; «;S.20 per 10; bv express or freight. 



Use Porter Honey-Ho«se E^scape 



over the doors and windows in the extractin?- 

 house, or any place vou wi^h to clear of bees. The 

 most persistent robber can Pot return. Some bee- 

 keepers make a practice of taking off the filled 

 supers and stacking seven or eight in a pile. The 

 Porter Honev-house mo\inted on a board makes 

 the best kind" of escape. Dont wait till to morrow 

 before you get a supply. You can't afford to be 

 without them longer. 



PRICE : 2oc each ; $'2.75 per dozen ; postpaid. 

 Board without escape, 15c each ; 81.00 per 10.
