then the next day, or within 15 days, another 

 operation of less time. 



We will take for example a colony which is 

 ready to swarm soon, with some of the cells 

 sealed, the hive being either 1 or 2 stories, 

 which we want to treat. What can we do 

 with this colony to prevent swarming ? After 

 considering the operations we are not allowed 

 in Davenport's method of treatment, the 

 work we can do on said colony is very limited. 

 I suppose we can take off the cover, maybe 

 al60 the bottom-board, and we might give 

 the bees a good smoking, aDd a few like 

 operations; but I don't know if any of these 

 will prevent swarming — not so with me. 

 We'd better hand this question to some of 

 our expert and specialist bee-keepers to an- 

 swer. 



Mr. Davenport ought to have his plan 

 patented, and offer his secret for sale. He 

 probably could make a fortune out of it, as 

 it seems that is what he is after. If he 

 wants it for his own use, be ought not to have 

 made public that he has such a secret. He 

 also says if it is given to the world by others, 

 the responsibility will not be his; and neither 

 would the benefit be his, I am sure.

Moore's Strain of Italians 



As Red-Clover Workers 



h. C. Medkiff, Salem, N. J., says: " I bought 

 an unlesi ed queen of you last year, and her bees 

 have filled 3 comb-honey supers, and did not 

 swarm, while 13 out of the IS other colonies did 

 not get more than half that amount. 



" I have queens from 6 different breeders, and 

 I class yours 100 percent above them all. Your 

 bees worked very strong on the first crop of red 

 clover. I know they were yours, because I 

 floured them with a dredge-box and watched 

 Ihe hive. They also worked strong on the 

 second crop of red-clover and lima-bean blos- 

 soms." 



Untested Queens, 75c each; six, $i; dozen, 

 $7.50. Select Untested, SI each; six, ¥5; 

 dozen, $9. Safe arrival and satisfaction guar- 

 anteed. Descriptive circular free. 



I am now filling orders By Return Mail, 

 and shall probably be able to do so until the 

 close of the season.

Lion Engine 



is sold direct from 

 FACTORY to USER 



Acting on the theory that "testing: is 

 proving-' we will send any responsible 

 person, on certain very easy condi- 

 tions, one of our three h. p. gas or gas- 

 oline engines on 10 days test trial. 



This engine is no experiment, but 

 has been proved by actual use to do 

 any work (where the rated amount of 

 power is required) in the most practi- 

 cal, reliable, sale and economical way. 



This engine is of the fourcycle type. 

 While the engine is up to normal speed 

 the exhaust valve is held open, allow- 

 ing free circulation of fresh air in the 

 cylinder. Theigniterand intake valve 

 are at rest, therefore are not using 

 gasoline or the batteries. 



Our igniter and mixer are of the 

 most simple and reliable character. 

 The gasoline is always properly vapor- 

 ized and the igniter point never cornea 

 together unless a spark is required. 



The fly ball type or governor isused, 

 which automatically controls the ex- 

 haust, igniter and the gasoline ; it also 

 allows the speed to be changed from 

 100 to 60o revolutions per minute while 

 the engine is in motion— a very 

 superior feature. 



LION GAS OR GASOLINE ENGINES 



are simple in construction and 

 EASY TO OPERATE 



They areused fnrall purposes where 

 power is required for operating pri- 

 vate electric-lighting plants, small 

 lactones, printing offices; farm ma- 

 chinery, such as cream separators, 

 feed-grinders, corn shellers, wood- 

 sawing machines, etc., and for a thou- 

 sand and one other purposes.
