THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Jan. 7, 



there will be a good many bees lost here 

 this winter, but the prospect seems good 

 for a crop next year, if we have the bees to 

 gather it, as clover was looking fine before 

 it was covered with the snow we now have. 

 C. A. Huff. 

 Lenawee Co., Mich., Dec. 23. 



[We think that all estimates as to how 

 much honey an acre of blossoms of any 

 plant will yield must be wholly guess-work. 

 No one really knows. Still, if any one has 

 anything to offer on the subject, we are 

 ready to listen to it.— Editok.] 



JUST THE MACHINE 



Every Bee-Keeper Ought to Have. 



Tlie best machine on 

 earth for Fastening in 

 Starters and PresfinK 

 the Sections together, 



is the 



McCartney 

 FountatioiiFast'ner 

 and Section Press 



Combined. 



It presses the Section 

 tog-ether, moves the 

 Foundation In. cuts It 

 olt the desired length 

 and presses it on— all 

 at one operation. With 

 one of these machines 

 one man can do more work In a flrstclass 

 manner than tour men with any other ma- 

 chine now made. If jou want one next season, 

 order at once. 



A Testimonial. 



ROCKFORD, Ills. 



I have used the " McCartney Combined 

 Foundation Fastener and Section Frees" to 

 some extent, and consider it one of greatest 

 accessions to bee-keeping of anything since 

 the invention of the movable frame. No bee- 

 keeper who runs for comb honey can afford 

 to be without it. S. H. Herbick. 



O. brother bee-men, liave you seen 



The latest in the starter machine ? 



It slides it in, then cuts it off 



And sticks it on— then makes you laugh 



To think that you were not the one 



T<J get it up and stop the Pother 



Of I ultin^ It I'ff Hoil ii^iiiii unother. 



Idon't claim tol,<-8in;irl; tliere lots that are smarter 



But. .'^till, I know liow to cutoff a starter: 



And If you dont believe me. Just buy a machine. 



That will fasten your starters both neat and clean. 



And If you prefer to stand on your feet. 



And ru^h thro" ytiur work in an instant, complete— 



Just buy what tlicy call "The McCartney Mucbine." 



It will tinish your sections both rapid ana clean. 



Then all you will lack is the bees antl the honey. 



To fill up the Bcctions and roll in the money.
