Sutliff's Smoker Corner. 



Arcadia. Wis,, Nov. 20. 1878, 

 I like the Smoker exceedingly well. In fact, it is 

 perfection itself. I can control the most vicious hy- 

 brids at will. The long steady stroke gives a volume 

 of smoke which I think cannot be excelled. 



E. A. Morgan. 



Lake Maitland, Fla., Nov. 27, 1878. 

 I have received the Smoker. I have shown it to 

 many, and all with myself pronounceit decidedly the 

 best we have seen. E. T. Stukdivant. 



Mr. Bailey used one of Novice's smokers, and 

 burned his fingers with it several times. He has now 

 bought one of mine, and is well pleased. 



Mr. Scofield, Nashua, Iowa, having worn out one of 

 Quinby's, has bought mine, and says he would not 

 take $5 for it. L. Sutliff.

SHIRT'S 



High-Pressure Bee-Hive. 



It has been said that the Langstroth Improved was 

 the coming hive. I wish to say to those interested, 

 that the Improved Langstroth has come and been 

 here, patented in 18t>8, and again improved and pat- 

 ented in 1872. 1 will not say as some have said in ad- 

 vertising, that it is the best hive ever ottered to the 

 public, for I have never seen all the hives offered, but 

 am vain enough to think, in ofleriug my hive to the 

 public, that it possesses more advantages at less cost 

 than any other hive made public, leaving it to be de- 

 cided by good judges, and if I should come out sec- 

 ond best, shall be willing to be called late to dinner — 

 quite a sacrifice. Will state some of the points : 1st. 

 It is double and triple walled, side opening, fast or 

 loose bottom ; adjustable portico and honey boards 

 can be used in single or two story ; long brood cham- 

 ber or compounded, and can be adjusted so as to con- 

 form to the size of a swarm, from a nucleus up to a 

 mammoth swarm of 12,000 cubic inches ; can be used 

 exclusively for surplus comb honey, or extracted ; 

 for building up colonics or a non-swarmer, etc. 



Any person wishing to know more of the advanta- 

 ges of the hive, send 25 cents in stamps, and receive 

 pamphlet of fifty pages, giving full description of 

 hive and workings, with much more useful matter for 

 beginners. I will simply say that 1 will dispose of 

 territory at very low figures, or if honey gets much 

 cheaper, I think I will give it away. In the meantime 

 would like to correspond with those manufacturing 

 hives in any part of the United States, to make and 

 sell on a royalty or otherwise. A. H. HART.
