"VrO sweat steals down the heated cheeks and aching back of the bee-keeper :VJj|*- 



as the result of standing in the hot sun puffing, blowing, smoking and V-i'i 



and brushing bees ; no time is wasted in these disagreeable operations, and .'v-iV. 



no stings received in resentment of such treatment ; the honey is secured free :*«V^ 



from black or even the taint of smoke ; the cappings are not injured by the .V;i.v 



gnawing of bees ; and robbers stand no show whatever. If there are any bro- •?;•-'>.• 



ken burr-combs they are cleaned up by the bees inside the hive, before the ?.■?: 



honey is removed. Leading bee-keepers use the PORTER escape, and say that ji^i: 



without a trial it is impossible to realize the amount of vexatious, annoying, jiiy: 



disagreeable work that it saves. The cost is only '20 cts. each, or $2.25 per doz. ;]iijji 



As in the past, this escape is manufactured by the Porters, but The A. I. Root '^'J*

i-pfjj^ journal that is published only at long intervals cannot always finish 

 ' • 1^» up a discussion while it is yet fresh, and interesting to its readers- 

 In this respect a 



bee journal is decidedly superior to a monthly ; besides, 

 the former is able to report a valuable discovery at once. 

 so that it may be taken advantage of before the season 

 is over. In this respect 



bee-keepers are the most fortunate of their clas-s. ;:s they 

 have a weekly bee journal edited by an energetic young 

 man who calls to his aid the best specialists of tlie coun- 

 try ; in short, he leaves no stono unturned to niake his 



journal stand at the head. Having accomplished this, he of course 

 wishes that, bee ■ keepers should know and read his paper. With 

 that end in view, the price of The Weekly American Uee 



is placed at only $ .00 per year— no more than is asked 



for some of the monthlies - while a 160 page book, 



"Bees and Honey," is given free as a premium. For 



$1 75 Thk American Bee Journal, '• Bees and Honey," and tlio Keview 



will be sent. A "trial trip" ot three months ( 13 weeks ) for only 20 cts. 



to new subscribers. Sample copy free. Address
