BUY THE BEST. 



If you want the best low-down wagon you 

 should buy the Electric Handy Wagon. It is 

 the best because it is made of the best material; 

 the best broad-tired Electric Wheels; best sea- 

 soned white hickory axles; all other wood parts 

 of the best seasoned white oak. The front and 



rear'hounds are made from the best angle steel, 

 which is neater, stronger and in every way bet- 

 ter than wood. Well painted in red and var- 

 uisht. Extra length of reach and extra long 

 standards supplied without additional cost 

 when requested. This wagon is guaranteed to 

 carry 4,000 pounds anywhere. Write the Elec- 

 tric Wheel Co., Box 16, Quincy, 111., for their

took some sweet clover hay out in cow yard, 

 where there were three head, and threw 

 the hay down to the cattle. Two head ate 

 the hay jii.st the same as if it had been red 

 clover, while one cow I had bought in Octo- 

 ber would not even taste it or try to eat it. 



Sweet clover mown down and fed to cat- 

 tle when about two feet tall, grown on good 

 soil, was eaten readily last summer here at 

 our place. 



Now a pointer to anyone short of pasture : 

 Teach cattle to eat sweet clover, then go on 

 the highway or elsewhere and cut a lot of 

 it, load on the wagon, and drive into a 

 pasture field and scatter it rather thinly 

 over the ground, and let the cattle help 

 themselves. 



Two or three years ago we began putting 

 up our honey in raised-cover tin pails, and 

 let most of it candy, then put it on the 

 market to be mostly sold on commission, 

 and what was sold for cash was sold with 

 the understanding that if the grocerymen 

 could not dispose of it for a fair profit I 

 was to take it out of the store and return 

 the cash, which I did. 



But .since Dadant's sell all their honey 

 when granulated, I was determined our 

 ripe, rich honey should go the same way, 

 and the consequence is we now have a good 

 trade built up on honey in the granulated 

 form. Outside of what we put up in one- 

 pound bottles, it is not liquefied to satisfy 

 any one's whims. 



Last fall we put up (JOO pounds of honey 

 in common quart fruit-cans, with a large, 

 suitable label, which for cheapness are just 

 the thing, for they sell well. 



Fourteen years ago in the spring we be- 

 gan beekeeping in a small way (according 

 to the books), and to this date we have 

 taken off 115,303 pounds of honey, about -,; 

 being extracted, and find, by keeping a 

 careful record, we have taken off an aver- 

 age of 37 pounds per colony for the 14 

 years. We have a poor locality for bees, 

 haven't we? C. A. Bunch.

My 125 colonies of bees in the cellar are 

 keeping the best I ever had them. There is 

 not a gallon of dead bees on the floor.

Report for the Season of 1899. 



Last summer was a hard one for me. I 

 had a hard spell of sickness so the bees bad 

 things a good deal their own way. They 

 come out of winter quarters in good condi- 

 tion, losing 5 out of 111; I sold 26 and 

 doubled down to 73. There was great loss 

 of bees here, a number of bee-keepers losing 

 all. One man 3 miles from my place lost 

 all he had — 100 colonies. Mine did fairly 

 well last season, as I got 3,000 pounds of 

 comb honey and ."iOO pounds of extracted. 

 The fall flow of honey was the best we have 

 had for years. I increast from 73 to 135 col- 

 onies, sold some, and doubled down to 93, 

 all in good condition, with plenty of stores 

 for winter. John Turnbull.

Extractors, Large and Small. 



Editor York:— On page 114 is a picture 

 of D. H. Coggshall's apiary with that ex- 

 tractor looking very familiar, for I think I 

 had a hand in making that machine. On 

 the same page " Old Grimes " gives some 

 points on extractors as positive facts, which 

 do not accord with my philosophy or expe- 

 rience. Isn't it the centrifugal force that 

 throws out the honey ? And isn't that 

 force proportioned according to the square 

 of the diameter ? A comb 4 inches from 

 the center spindle will feel only one-fourth 

 as much centrifugal energy as a comb 8 

 inches from the center spindle. 



I admit it is easier to make one revolu- 

 tion with a two-frame toy machine, but 

 deny that it is easier to make 6 revolutions 

 with it to do the same work that Morton's 

 favorite 8-frame extractor would do in
