Having made many im- 

 provements in the EX- 

 CELSIOR EXTRACTOR 

 for 1879, it is now offered 

 to the Bee-Keepers of 

 America as the MOS T 

 PERFECT MACHINE in 

 the MARKET. The uni- 

 versal favor with which 

 the EXCELSIOR EX- 

 TRACTOR was received 

 in 1878, has induced other 

 manufacturers to adopt 

 several of its improve- 

 ments. My experience 

 and experiments of last 

 season, with the assistance 

 and suggestions of skillful 

 workmen, have enabled 

 me to perfect an Extrac- 

 tor that cannot be ex- 

 celled, and can only 

 be equaled by being 

 closely imitated. 



Some of its advantages 

 are as follows : It is made 

 entirely of metal, It is % 

 light, but has attachments 

 for fastening down to a m 

 platform. It can be in- SP*\ 

 stantly taken to pieces for p&Jf 



cleaning, having no rusty 

 screws to take out or nuts ' 

 to remove. 



The top or cross-band, to whi 

 gearing, is wrought iron, three incl 

 ends turned down in such manner as to thoroughly 

 brace and strengthen the can and hold the basket 

 flrnilv in an upright position. 



The strong over-motion gearing, so necessary to 

 ease in running and speedy operating, was designed 

 and is manufactured expressly for the Kxcelsior. A 

 child ten years of age can operate the machine as 

 rapidly as it can be supplied with combs. 



The Comb Basket having vertical sides, insures the 

 extracting power alike for top and bottom of frames. 

 The sides of the basket being movable and inter- 

 changeable, greatly facilitate the operation of dust- 

 ing before and thoroughly cleaning after use. 



It has a small comb-holder for extracting pieces of 

 comb or partly-filled sections. 



At the bottom of the can, and below the basket, is 

 a cone or metal standard, in the top of which revolves 

 the bottom pivot of the basket, thereby givmgroom 

 for sixty or seventy pounds of,honey without touch- 

 ing the basket or pivot below. 



Nos 3,4 and 5, have neatlv-fltting covers, movable 

 sliding sides to the baskets, and movable strainers 

 covering the canal to the faucet, whereby all honey 

 can be drawn off without a particle of sediment. 



The baskets of Nos. 4 and 5 have no center rod 

 running from top to bottom, which will be found 

 very convenient bv those who uncap both sides of 

 the comb before putting in the basket, as they can be 

 turned without removal. . 



The wire baskets are very neat specimens of skill- 

 ful workmanship, thoroughly braced at every point 

 where experience has proven it to be most requisite, 

 and nothing has been omitted that could add to its 

 efficiency. 



The No. 4, for three frames, has a triangular bas- 

 ket, movable sides, no center rod, runs smoothly re- 

 gardless of number of frames, and is fast supersed- 

 ing the demand for four-sided baskets. 



A LOWER PK1CED MACHINE 

 being called for by those having but few colonies, 

 and not making a specialty of bee-keeping, I have 

 made a special size to take the Langstroth frame, 

 and one for the American, to sell at *S.OO each. 

 These have no covers or strainer, and are smaller 

 than the $12.00 and $14.00 sizes, but for the frames 

 named are equal to the others for effective work, and 

 are the best cheap Extractors made.
