Alc.I 



HARDY GOLDENS! 



Yes, 1 have them, and they are hardy — winter well, very gen- 

 tle, and extra good hustlers. 1 know many goldens are the re- 

 verse of all this. I also know why, so do the breeders who sell 

 them. My prices are high; but, every thing considered, they are 

 cheap (see June 15th issue). I sell 20 goldens to one of any 

 other race. Untested queen, $1.00-, select tested, ^uaranttid, 



$2; tested, 3-baud, $1. C. Oscar Fluharly, Sandusky, W Va

TO LAND SELLERS 



There is a continual demand for 

 farms or ranches suitable for bee- 

 keeping. If 3'ou have the right kind 

 of place, and can satisfy us on that 

 point, we are certain you can dispose 

 of it to one of the 35,000 readers of 



Gleanings in Bee Culture, 



by inserting a small advertisement in 

 its pages. 



There is no other medium by 

 which you may reach the great con- 

 stituency of bee-keepers. The cost 

 of such an advertisement is small 

 when compared with the results.

OrR ST. PALL BRANCH. 



Mrs. H. G. .Acklin, manager of our St. Paul branch, is expect- 

 ing to take an extended vacation, and has secured the coopera- 

 tion of Messrs. Palmer & Pilcher. who will be permanently 

 identified with this branch in the future. On my recent visit to 

 St. Paul, adjusting the loss by lire, 1 met both gentlemen and 

 can heartily commend them to our patrons of that office. While 

 the care of bees was new to them, they were apt and capiible, 

 and were fast mastering the mass of details connected with the 

 handling of supplies as well as the bees. 



A HONEY-PtJMP. 



Some months ago there was described in these columns an out- 

 fit for bottling honey; and one of the items described was a 

 small rotary pump that would raise honey from ihe receptacle 

 where it leaves the extractor up into an elevated tank so that it 

 would flow by gravity through the hlling-pipe to the glass bottles 

 and jars. We have been investigating pumps for handling liq- 

 uid honey, and are prepared to ofTer the No. 1 Blackmer pump to 

 run with a belt at $25.00. This can be belted up to the same 

 engine that runs the honey-extractor by putting a four-inch pul- 

 ley on the opposite side of the engine from that which drives the 

 extractor. For those who do not have an engine to drive it we 

 can supply the Little Giant pump, with handle to work by hand, 

 for $20.00.
