5t^ = The most interesting tiling at fairs 

 would be hive of Italian bees at work. A 

 good observatory hive would, attract more 

 attention than anything else.

 this date reduced. From 1 to 25 lbs. is now 

 42c ; 50 lbs, 41c ; 100 lbs. 40c. We keep in

 ham, J. Oatman & Sons, or J. Van Deusen 

 & Son. The " wired" and " extra thin" flat- 

 bottomed still remain at 62c. per lb.

 ciated, as the enormous sales of the past 

 year fully proves.— Adv.

Bingham's Smoker Corner. 



Brecksville, O., May 10, 1880. 

 The smokers were promptly received, and 

 have been thoroughly tested. They are all 

 you claim, and leave little or nothing to be 

 desired in this line. Neighbor Oakes is en- 

 thusiastic over his, and says it is worth $100! 

 It is correct in principle, and always relia- 

 ble. We do not want any "cold blast" in 

 ours, and fancy when bees mean "business," 

 our "cold blast" friends will find it warm.

Decided ! 



A patent on this " Boss" One-Piece Section, here- 

 tofore called the LEWIS SECTION, THE FINEST 

 SECTION IN THE WORLD, has been allowed to 

 James Forncrook. Therefore, James Forncrook & 

 Co. are the sole manufacturers of the "Boss" One- 

 Piece Section in the United States. 



We clip the following from Lewis & Parks' adver- 

 tisement in May number of A. B. J., to show how 

 they have tried to mislead the public in this matter : 



' Notice.— There is no patent on the above Section, 

 and the Examiner of Interferences of the Patent 

 Office has adjudged the same unpatentable ; so, any 

 one has an undisputed right to manufacture, sell or 

 use the same. Do not be misled by parties claiming 

 a patent on the same." 



We leave this matter to the public to judge who has 

 tried to mislead. This, however will<nake no differ- 

 ence with the price of these Sections, as we shall sell 

 them at the old price : 4Mx4'4 at$ti.00. We will make 

 the One-Piece Section any size desired. Liberal 

 discounts on orders of 5,0U0 and 10,001) lots. Send 

 for new price list, issued May 1st. Full Colony of 

 Italian Bees, $H.O0.
