Seasonable 



Suggestions. 



Use THe Porter Spring Escape. 



When taking off surplus this is the greatest sav- 

 ing device. It does away with the shaking of the 

 heavy supers, the cruelty of excessive snioking 

 which causes the bees to uncap their honey and 

 start robbing. Just tip the super to the angle of 

 4.5° 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 ; postpaid. With 

 board, 35c each; $3.20 per 10; by express or freight. 



Use Porter Honey-Kotise Escape 



over the doors and windows in the extracting- 

 house, or any place you wish to clear of bees. The 

 most persistent robber can not return. Some bee- 

 keepers make a practice of taking off the filled 

 supers and stacking seven or eight in a pile. The 

 Porter Honey-hou.se mounted on a board makes 

 the best kind of escape. Don't wait till tomorrow 

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

 without them longer. 



PRICE : 25c each ; $2.75 per dozen ; postpaid. 

 Board without e.scape, 15c each ; fl.OO per 10.
