American Ttee Journal 



Swarming Done Away With 



The illustration shows one of the A. K. Ferris hives under process of 

 manipulation. Every bee-keeper will be interested in reading about these 

 hives arranged according to the Ferris' system for the Prevention of 

 Swarming for Comb Honey Production. 



The Non-Swarming articles by Mr. Ferris and Mr. G. M. Doolittle are proving ex- 

 ceedingly interesting. This great series is fully illustrated and will be continued 

 throughout the remaining issues of 1906. 



Among our other regular contributors are Mr. J. A. Green, Dr. C. C. Miller, E. W. 

 Alexander, and many other bee-keepers of note. 



No bee-keeper who will take time to look through one number of Gleanings in 

 Bee Culture can satisfy himself that he does not need this " Journal of Profit." 



We make it easy for you to give Gleanings a thorough trial ; here's the 

 offer : 



A six month's trial trip, 25c. 



If you will send in your remittance before the back numbers from April 1st. in 

 which the introductory articles on the Non-Swarming series have appeared, are all 

 gone, we will include these free of charge.

SECTIONS 



Sections are in great demand at this season of the year. We are 

 full capacity, but can hardly supply the call for No. 1 Sections of all sizes. 



Place orders at once, or you are apt to be disappointed. We have a very 

 large supply of No. 2 grade of Sections. These Sections are as good as some offer 

 for No. 1. Not being snow-white — but having a tinge of cream grades them No. 2. 

 Give this grade a trial this season. It will cost you 25c a thousand less. 



ALEXANDER FEEDER 



We are prepared to furnish the Alexander Feeder. We make them 

 19 inches long so tbey may be used with either an 8 or lu frame hive. 

 With a 10-frame hive they will project 3 inches beyond the hive for 

 feeding, and the block may be laid crosswise of the feeder or be cut 

 off as preferred. With the 8-frame hive the feeder projects 5 inches 

 and the block lies lengthwise. We soak the feeders in oil to prevent 

 the feed from soaking in. Piice, finished, including block, 25c each; 

 10 for $2 : 50 for $9. 



GERMAN BEE-BRUSH 



Some months ago Mr. K. F. Holtermann called our attention to a 

 bee-brush which he received from Germany, made of genuine bristle 

 or horsehair. He had used one a whole season, washing it out often, 

 and it appeared to be as good at the end of the season a6 at the begin- 

 ning. He considered it so far ahead of anything he had ever seen or 

 used that he wanted no other. We concluded if it was so good for 

 him it must be equally good for others. We are now provided with a 

 stock which we offer at 25 cent6 each ; by mail, 30 cents. The bristles 

 are black, and about 2 inches long, extending 8 inches on the handle. 

 Made of while hair it would cost 5 cent6 more.
