SQUARE HONEY-CANS 



The above illustrations show the 60-pound SQUARE HONEY- 

 CANS which are becoming quite pofjular for shipping extracted 

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

 contain either 1 or 2 Cans, as may be preferred. We can furnish 

 them at the following prices, with a l^^iuch Screw-Cap in the 

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

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

 Cap, for 5 cents extra on each Can.

The $>*.oo and $10.no sizes are made to accommo- 



rlate those who d6sire a cheap but practical machine. 



The Cans are smaller, the Bides of the baskets are 



stationary, and they have neither covers, strainers, 



nor metal standards. 



The Corah-Basket having vertical sides, insures the 

 extracting power alike for the top and bottom of tbe 

 frames. The sides of the ba.sket in the $l2.n(i, $14.ik) 

 and$i6.00ExtractorsbeingmovabIeaudintcrtrhaiit:e- 

 able, greatly facilitates theoperation of thurnn^ihly 

 cleaning. The basket can be taken from or r;M^I;i-<'ed 

 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 tlie basket, is 

 a cone nr metal standard in the $l2.0u. $i4.<)n and 

 |i6,00E.xtractors. in the top of which revolves tlie 

 bottom pivot of the basket, thereby giving room for 

 60 to 100 lbs. of honey without touching the basket 

 or pivot below, tana of the other sizes 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 for removing the top to refill it 

 with water. 



2. The wax melts more quickly, because it 

 isbroufiht 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 indica- 

 tor as to the amount of water in the boiler; 

 for when the steam escapes through the fil- 

 ler, more water will be required. 



Keep a kettle of hot water ready to fill it 

 when required.

BINGHAM SMOKERS. 



The MichlganBec-Keopera* Association, Imvinjr all 

 the Smokers before it, "pronounced Bingham's Pa- 

 tent Smoker the best." 



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

 ono miine time, said: " My Smoker trouhU.-s are al! 

 Ov-cr. and bee-keepers owe you a debt of gratitude." 



Professor Cook, of Michig.in AgricuituralColleKe. 

 Bays : " It is the best in the market." 



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

 any bee-keeper could desire." 



Paul Ij. Viallon, Bayou Goula, La., writes. April 0, 

 1S7S . "Your Smokers iiro far superior to anyevir 

 Invented, and we bee-keepers owe you a vit© • I 

 thanks for your ingeniouainventinn. Manymav tr , 

 to improve <in yours, but I am positive none will 

 make a better one." 



This is the first and only bellows Smoker evermadp 

 which would burn stove-wood. It burns anythin 

 comhustible, and needs no care except to be refllle i 

 once in one ortwo hours. Works easy and will throw 

 a stream of smoke ten feet. Itwill notgooutnor 

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

 perhaps a valuable horse.

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, 

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

 h ney, it does not wade and stick likfi other knives, but elides easily over curves, 

 p mes and hollows, leaving the uncapped honey free from caps, and the cells aa 

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

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