My Self-Hiving Apparatus, 



Or, SWARM-CATCHER, 



Is something that bee-keepers the world over have 

 long felt the want of. It will hive your bees without 

 your attention ; no watcbingisneeessary. It is sim- 

 ple, cheap and effective ; any workman will make 

 them for 25 cents each. No one can see it without 

 being firm in the belief that it will succeed every 

 time. During the first summer, a gentleman after 

 seeing it and hearing its operation explained, offered 

 $500 for the State right of Mississippi, and take it 

 without further guarantee ; and Mr. .James Heddon, 

 a very intelligent and successful bee-keeper of Mich- 

 igan, writes me that he will pay $100 for an individual 

 right to its use. when he is satisfied it will do all I 

 claim for it. When your bees show signs of swarm- 

 ing, or any time before, all you have to do is to ar- 

 range the hive you desire your swarm to occupy, 

 apply my apparatus, and the work is done. You can 

 then goon about your business, and when you return, 

 if your bees have swarmed, you will find them in the 

 hive you have prepared for them, and working out 

 the entrance to the same, while the bees that remain 

 with the parent hive will be working out at their 

 usual entrance, all as contented as though nothing 

 had happened, when the hiving apparatus may be 

 removed to your next strongest colony. It will not 

 fail one time in one hundred to do all I claim for it. 

 It has been thoroughly tested for the past two sum- 

 mers, and will give perfect satisfaction in every 

 instance. For the present I will sell on] v farm rights. 

 If you have 20 colonies or less, send me $6.00, and I 

 will send you a farm right apd one apparatus, with 

 full instructions. Special rates with larger bee-keep- 

 ers. Send money-order payable at Morristown,East 

 Tennessee, and order early.
