LABOR SAVING 

 WAGONS 



THE FARMERS' HANDY WAGONS 



are useful and time and labor siivinn' e\ery day in 

 the year. Low down, lliey load easily; low draft, 

 they are easy on the liorses; wide tired, they do 

 not cut ruts across the fields. The wide platform will carry a big 

 load without building it high. For hauling tools to and from the 

 field, hauling manure, hauling hay, grain, logs, lumber, or anything 

 else where a big, wide load is to be moved the Farmers' Handy 

 Wagon is better than any other vehicle. Stronger and more durable 

 than any other wagon. Wooden wheels guaranteed to hold tires five 

 years. Iron wheels have spokes hot-forged in, not cast in. Dealers sell 

 them. Send today for latest catalogue containing full details of 



the many ways in wliich 

 our wagons are superior to 

 others. 



If your dealer cannot or 

 will not get this wagon, 

 do not buy any other with- 

 out first informing \ourself 

 concerning the larniers' 

 Handy ■\\agon. Kemembei-

We look forward for a good year the coming 

 season, but can not just tell yet which way 

 the wind will blow. 



If the bees confined in the cellar are un- 

 easy, and a day comes in midwinter that will 

 give them a chance to tly freely, f believe it 

 will pay to give them a chance. It snow is 

 on the ground scatter straw freely over it for 

 a few rods around— a little will go a long 

 way. This last advice is for beginners; the 

 veterans know how. 



I have been a constant reader of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal for eight years. " The proof 

 of the pudding is in chewing the string." was 

 an old saying, but I prefer to eat the pudding; 

 this I get in what I learn from the " Old Re- 

 liable." L. G. Bi.AiR.

A Disagreeable Winter. 



It is a bad winter here — cold, windy, and 

 very disagreeable all the time. I saw bees 

 Hying a few days ago. They were in fine con- 

 dition. My 53 colonies are all doing nicely.

Robber-Bees Stinging— Forced 

 Swarming— Smoker-Fuel. 



I notice on page .543, about " Robber-Bees 

 Stinging," and I agree with W. W. MeXeal, 

 of Cook Co., 111. I had a colony of lilack 

 Ijees (weak), placed away from the rest of my 

 apiary, the rest of my bees being Italians. 

 The Italians started to rob my tracks, and as
