hotbkd sash and glass for the same. 



We have made an improvement in our hotbed sash 

 by adding a round rod of hard wood through the cen- 

 ter from side to side midway between the ends. Some 

 bars are inclined to warp making it more difficult .to 

 fit in the glass ; also in lifting the sash by the side 

 rail it may sprng and loosen the glass By the addi- 

 tion of the rod, with a nail driven through at each 

 bar, after all are properly spaced, these objections are 

 overcome We are also making them standard width, 

 S ft 4 in. wide for four rows, 8-inch glass. We can 

 also furnish them 3 ft. wide for three rows of 10-inch 

 glass, or 3 ft. 6 in. for three rows of 12-inch glass on 

 special order. As regularly furnished ihey are groov- 

 ed f<ir glass to be butted togeiher, the joint to be 

 closed with liquid putty We also furnish thtm rab- 

 beted so the glass may be lapped if so ordered. 



Price of regular-size sash 90 cts. ea h; $4 25 for 5, 

 or $8.00 for 10, shipped in flat, not put together. If put • 

 together not painted, add 10 cts. each. If put together, 

 painted two coats, add 30 cts. each; glazed with 8x10 

 glass, add $1 00 for each sash at present price of glass. 

 We can offer 8x10 glass at present for $2.40 per box; 

 5 box s at $2.30; 10 boxes or more at $2.20 This is a 

 very low price, due to a recent cut in price of glass, 

 and is not guaranteed for any length of time. If in 

 need of sash or glass, send in your orders while the 

 present low price holds good.

The Wisconsin State Bee-keepers' convention will 

 be held at the Capitol, Madison, Wis., Feb. 5 and 6. 

 President N. E France promises several good papers 

 and an abundance of questions. The special features 

 of the Wisconsin convention have always been the 

 friendly and social intercourse among its members, 

 and the profitable and instructive questions and an- 

 swers of special interest to bee-keepers. Everybody 

 is cordially invited to be with us. 



Gus. Dittmeb, Secretary. 



The Indiara Bee-keepers' Association will meet at 

 room 12, in the State-house, Feb. 1. We wish a full 

 attendance of bee-keepers, whether they are members 

 or not. as business of the utmost importance will be 

 discussed. Foul brood is found no >v in a majority of 

 counties in the State, and it is to stop its ravages that 

 this movement is being made. We wish at least one 

 representative from each county in the State to be 

 present. There has been quiet aa enrollment of mem- 

 bers the last >ear, and we wish many more this win- 

 ter. Come if you can; and if you can not come send a 

 dollar, and this will enroll you a member of the State 

 organization and also the National. Do it now.
