A Fortune in a Name —Under the keen and 

 exacting conditions of modern business much 

 more depends than formerly upon the name 

 adopted for the business or the article offered 

 lor sale. We feel like congratulating the Clay 

 Phelps Incubator Co , of Cincinnati, Ohio, who 

 are advertising with us on the name "'All 

 Right," under which they are making and sell- 

 ing their incubators. 



One or two points we wish to call attention to. 

 One is the plan on which they sell th-ir ma- 

 chines, namely. 10 days* trial. This is done to 

 create the fullest possible confidence on the 

 pari of the public. If the manufacturer shows 

 his own confidence in his goods, it^s bound to 

 find its answer in greater confidence on the part 

 of the buyer. We do not remember to have seen 

 in any catalog a clearer statement of the con- 

 struction and advantages of an incubator than 

 in the "All Right" catalog. A careful reading 

 of these pages impresses one most favorably. 

 In fact, it is hard to i*nagine how it would be 

 possible to build a machine more conscien- 

 tiously than the *' All Right." The catalog is 

 hiindsomely illustrated and is sure to interest 

 and aid any one who is about to buy an incuba- 

 tor. Write the manufacturers today and get 

 one of these books free. Address, Clay Phelps 

 Incubator Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, and mention 

 this paper.

Revised by Dadant — 1900 Edition. 



This is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and ought to be in the 

 library of every bee-keeper. It is bound 

 substantially in cloth, and contains 

 over 500 pages, being revised by those 

 large, practical bee-keepers, so well- 

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 

 Each subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1.25, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year — both for $1.75 ; or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us 

 THREE NEW subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year, with $3.00. 



This is a splendid chance to get ■. 

 grand bee-book for a very little money 

 or work.

condemned in Chicago, because it was white, 

 and contained from bO to fiO percent of glucose. 

 Without doubt extracted honey has been adul- 

 terated by unprincipled dealers, but I think 

 there is some mistake about this item from 

 Chicago and it will work an injury to bee- 

 keepers, who, as far as I know, are all in 

 favor of the pure-food laws. — E. Tark, in the

" Tlie Jouncer " for Freeing Extract- 

 ing Supers of Bees. 



One of the chief up-to-date appliances in 

 my apiary is known as a jouncer. Some four 

 or five years ago I described, with pen and 

 pencil, my first jouncer, and it was a very 

 crude affair compared with the one in use at 

 present. The photos show the device and 

 how to use it. It will be observed that it is 

 made very strong, made mostly of tough fir, 

 and put together with bolts, and a cloth tray 

 is adjusted under the hive to be jounced. 



When it is desired to jounce the bees from a 

 super it is adjusted as in photo No. 1, and 

 the whole jounced against the ground. The 

 sudden jar, or a few of them, send the bees all 

 into the tray. The latter can be removed as 

 shown in Fig. No. 2, and the bees dumped on 

 the top of the frames of the colony. 



In order to cushion the lower ends of the 

 corner posts of the jouncer they are cham- 

 bered off to a point. As there are no stones in 

 the apiary, when the jouncer strikes the 

 ground the jounce is broken just enough to 

 prevent the combs from breaking. 



The benefits derived from this method of 

 getting bees off the combs are all in the line 

 of rapid manipulation. In the American Bee 

 Journal not many months ago, Mr. Davenport 

 caught on to this idea and applied it to the 

 common Langstroth hive. The best success, 

 however, is attained with a shallow brood- 

 chamber; and the only objection I have to it 

 is, when there is much thin honey it slops out
