FIG. 2.— LOSSING'S HONEY EXHIBIT AT THE TERRITORIAL FAIR. 



PRACTICAL DISPLAY AT THE ARIZONA 

 TERRITORIAL FAIR. 



BY WM. LOSSING. 



The three views shown herewith give an 

 idea of our exhibit at the Territorial fair held 

 last November. Fig-, l shows the Gilson en- 

 gine belted to an automatic extractor and a 

 Lossing automatic cover attached to a Daisy 

 wheelbarrow. These three machines attract- 

 ed considerable attention. James Tracy 

 stands at the left; next Wm. Lossing at the 

 center, and back of the engine is the Hon. J. 

 P. Ivy. These three represent over 2000 col- 

 onies. 



In December following the fair I wished to 

 extract a few cases more, so I hauled a load 

 home from an outyard to try the automatic 

 extractor as well as the engine. The honey 

 had granulated somewhat, and was very thick. 

 At 10 o'clock the knives were hot, and the 

 engine started. We made a short stop at 

 noon, and at 4 p.m. were through. This 

 demonstrated to me that the engine and ex- 

 tractor (as the Englishman says) were a 

 blooming success. With plenty of help I ex- 

 pect to extract between 4000 and 5000 lbs. in 

 a day.
