SQUARE HONEY-CANS 



The above illustrations show the 60-pound SQUARE HONEY- 

 CANS which are becoming quite popular for shipping extracted 

 honey. They are enclosed in a solid case of wood, and the boxes 

 contain either 1 or 3 Cans, as may be preferred. We can furnish 

 them at the following prices, with a l^s'-inch Screw-Cap in the 

 corner of each fan. For the convenience of digging out candied 

 honey, we can furnish these Cans with an additional ■4-iuch Screw 

 Cap, for 5 cents extra ou each Can.

We respectfully refer all who are looking for the 

 best Honey-Extractor, to any one using an Excelsior. 

 The Excelsior honey-extractor can only be equaled 

 by close imitation, and never excelled. It is made 

 entirely of metal, and is conseouenily very light, 

 Btronganddurablcwith lugsatthe bottom for flrmly 

 attaching it to the floor, if desired.

For t *' " 13x20 '* 16 00 



The $A.on and $10.00 sizes are made to accommo- 

 date those who desire a cheap but practical machi ne. 

 The Cans are smaller, the sides of the baskets are 

 stationary, and they have neither covers, strainers, 

 Dor metal standards. 



The Comb-Basket having vertical sides, insures the 

 extracting power alike for the top and bottom of the 

 frames. Tlie sides of the basket in the $I2.(H). *I4.00 

 and $16.00 Extractors beingmovable amiinterchange- 

 able, greatly facilitates the operation of thoroughly 

 cleaning. The basket can be taken from or replaced 

 In the Can in a moment, there being no rusty nuts to 

 remove, or screws to take out. 



At the bottom of the Can, and below the basket is 

 aconeor metal standard in the $12.0(_). |;]4.(XJ and 

 eie.iiO Extractors, in the top of which revolves the 

 bottom pivot of the basket, thereby giving room for 

 60 to 100 lbs. of honey without touching the basket 

 or pivot below. Cans of the other sizea are shallow. 



The $12.00 size. 



Excelsior Wax-Extractor. 



We make two sizes, the smaller one having 

 about the capacity of the usual wax-extrac- 

 tors now in use. 



The advantages of this extractor are : 



1. It is more easily operated, there being 

 no necessity tor removing the top toreflll it 

 with water. 



2. The wax melts more quick'.y. because it 

 is brought into a more DIRECT contact with 

 the steam. 



3. It is more economical, because the steam 

 has access to the center, thereby extracting 

 all the wax from the refuse matter. 



The filler for water acts also as an inrtica* 

 tor as to the amount of water in the boiler ; 

 for when the steam escapes through the til- 

 ler, more water will be required. 



Keep a kettle of hot water ready to fill it 

 when required.

BINGHAM SMOKERS. 



The Michigan Bee-Keepers' Association, having all 

 the Hiuokers before it, "pronounced Bingtiam's l*a- 

 tent Smoker the best." 



J. P. Moore, Binghamton. New York, after uslnsr 

 one some time, said: " My Smoker troubles are all 

 over, and bee-keepers owe you a debt of gratitude." 



Professor Cook, of Michigan Agricultural College, 

 says : " It Is the best in the market." 



R. M. Argo, Lowell, Kentucky, says : "Ills all that 

 any bee-keeper could desire." 



Paul L. Viallon, Bayou Goula. I^a., writes, April fi, 

 1878. "Your Smokers are far superior to any ever 

 Invented, and we bee-keepers fiwe you a vote of 

 thanks f(jr your ingeniouslnvention. Manymav try 

 to improve on yimrs, but I am positive none will 

 make a better one." 



This is theflrst and only bellows Smoker ever made 

 which would burn stove-wood. It burns anything 

 combustible, and needs no care except to bo refilled 

 once in one or two he lurs. Works easy and will throw 

 astreamof smoke ten feet. It will notgooutnor 

 wear out. It will save time, stings, and money, and 

 perhaps a valuable horse.

HONEY KNIVES. 



PulentPd May •2i\ i 



The most extensive Bee-keepers use thsm exclusively. 



The Knife is so constructed that only the thin beveled edge rests on the combs, 

 and the caps, after being cut off, slide up in large sheets and roll over on the knife, 

 like shavings from a sharp plane. As only the edge of the knife touches the 

 h iney, it does not wade and stick like other knives, but elides easily over curves, 

 planes and hollows, leaving the uncapped honey free from caps, and the cells as 

 clian, perfect and smooth as if they had never been capped. They are two inches 

 WiJe, tempered and finished like a razor, and will last for a life-time.

The engraving shows Alley's Combined Drone and Queen Trap, 

 with tlie perforated-metal entrance, the tin slide, the perforated 

 metal at tlie top, through whicli the workers, that enter the trap,

 hive ; the tin slide which forms the top need not be opened except 

 when a queen is to be released, or drones are to be removed. — 

 Arrange the entrance so that all the bees must pass through the 

 zinc. Full directions accompany each trap.
