GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Aph. 15. 



Strength of Blast 



is not the only- 

 good feature of the Smokers we manufacture. 

 They are strong, and well made. Of the Clark Cold=Blast we have 

 sold over 150,000 ; and the Crane Hot=Blast — well, although it is a 

 new smoker it is taking like '• hot cakes." 



JCORRUGATED 



The now '94 model Crane 

 is a beauty; and among some 

 of its distinguishing' fea- 

 tures are an improved 



Check=Valve, 



a device that forces the air 

 tlirough tlie cup, even wlien 

 crammed with fuel, and at 

 the same time prevents 

 smoke from going into the 

 bellows; a 



Hinged Top 



secured by a mallealile-iron 

 hinge accurately milled nt 

 the joiQt so thiit the toii will 

 fly squarely in pl.ice. No 

 need of burning lingers in 

 replenishing, nor losing the 

 top off. 



The Lining 



this year consists of asbestos 

 sheeting around the outside 

 of tlie fire-cup; and over this 

 still is a neat corrugated 

 shield This combination is 

 tlie most effective of any 

 thing we have ever tried. 

 And last, but not least, the 

 cup is secured bv four small 

 IKJLTS, not screws. 



Price of Crane Smoker, 

 each in a neat telescope 

 pasteboard box, $1.60; or 

 prepaid, $1.95. Dealers,

Fencing. 



Those in need of a neat and substan- 

 tial farm fence at a low price will be in- 

 tere.sted in the full-page aniumncement 

 given in the last issue. This is also ex- 

 cellent as a yard or front-lawn fence; 

 and where you do not need a full roll 

 you can probably find in the list of short 

 pieces just what you require at full-roll 

 price. The adjoining out shows the style 

 of this fencing, and manner of erecting. 

 Wire-stretchers for this purpose, $1.00 

 each.
