Send us your name and address and we will 

 send you, free of charge, a copy of a pam- 

 phlet edited by Ralph Allen, of Herts, Eng- 

 land, the conductor of the original English 

 experiments with mustard. The book con- 

 tains a full account of these experiments, to- 

 gether with testimonials from some of the 

 most prominent American users of French's 

 Poultry Mustard. 



The time to begin the use of French's 

 Poultry Mustard is at the very begin- 

 ning of the moulting season. At this 

 time its results are most valuable.

 livered at Medina. Shipments fi-om 

 the Pacific coast should be in barrels

 portant as it gives us something to

POWER HONEY - EXTRACTORS 



Our new catalog is full of information about these labor-saving 

 machines. With the difficulty of getting competent help, the 

 power extractors are being sold largely in this and foreign 

 countries, and the present demand is far greater than ever be- 

 fore. Read what a California producer says in a letter to a 

 disinterested party, which we are permitted to see and publish : 



Gentlemen: — I should like to say a few words in favor of the ball-bearing Root 

 Automatic extractor, as I believe it is as near perfection as can be. This machine runs 

 so easj' that a few turns to get it up to speed is all that is necessary; and the men, 

 while using the No. 17, which I formerly had, could average only 1000 lbs. per day, 

 while with this machine they can average 2000 lbs. with but one additional man. No 

 apiarj' can afford to be without one of these machines. 



I feel like congratulating The A. I. Root Co. for making an invention that is such 

 a satisfaction, and financiallj' to the honej -producers' interests.
