be about 30 pounds of stores to carry 

 them safely through to the next honey 

 season. 



To make doubly sure, we store in a 

 dry, warm place combs of sealed 

 honey, about one for each hive, to be 

 put in the brood-chambers as soon as 

 convenient after they are removed 

 from winter quarters. It is particu- 

 larly important to have these extra 

 combs in a warm place, to avoid gran- 

 ulation. 



Extracting: and Migratory Bee- 

 Keeping 



Our extracting was practically all 

 finished Friday night, Sept. 14. Buck- 

 wheat honey averaged up about as 

 well as last year, and so removed the 

 danger we feared of an almost total 

 failure of the 1906 honey crop. 

 I Migratory bee-keeping involves all 

 sorts of experiences, some pleasant, and 

 some quite the opposite. Last season 

 we extracted a part of the surplus of 

 one yard in a tent. There were no 

 trees for shade, and when the sun 

 shone, that tent would have made a 

 splendid solar wax-extractor — almost. 

 The robber-bees found the ins and outs 

 so well that after a few days the ma- 

 chinery was moved to a bee-tight 

 workshop, half a mile away, and the 

 balance of the supers hauled there to 

 extract. It is a splendid idea to start 

 the final extracting before the bees 

 have finished gathering honey. Then 

 robbers do not bother, and what sur- 

 plus is gathered after the supers are 

 off will help out nicely on winter stores. 

 This year, one yard had to be ex- 

 tracted in the basement of a bank 

 barn. The stone wall kept it cool, to a 

 certain extent, so that even in ex- 

 tremely hot weather it was possible to 

 keep all windows and doors closed so 

 the smell of the honey would not es- 

 cape and attract the bees. When we 

 got near the end, and the robbers be- 

 came pretty lively in the yard and be- 

 gan hunting places to crawl through 

 the stone wall, the extracted supers 

 were all piled out where the bees could 

 go at them freely, and clean up the 

 honey left by the extractor. This gave 

 an artificial honey-flow, and kept 

 things fairly quiet until we could 

 finish up.

Lion Engine 



is sold direct from 

 FACTORY to USER 



Acting- on the theory that "testing" ia 

 proving-' we will send any responsible 

 person, on certain very easy condi- 

 tions, one of ourthree h. p. gas orpas* 

 oline engines on 10 days test trial. 



This engine ia no experiment, but 

 haa been proved by actual use to do 

 any work (where the rated amount of 

 power is required) in the moat practi- 

 cal, reliable, safe and economical way. 



This engine is of thefourcvcle 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 comes 

 together unless a spark is required. 



The fly ball type of governor isused, 

 which automatically controls the ex- 

 haust, igniter and the gaaotine; it also 

 allows the speed to be changed from 

 100 to fiOO revolutions per minute while 

 the engine is in motion— a very 

 superior feature.
