GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



33 



The extractor is just superb, and I think it can't 

 be beat. The revolving basket Is so nicely balanc- 

 ed that, when it is turned, the outside can is not 

 jarred or moved in the least, althoug-h not fastened 

 to the floor; and when I put in a couple of combs of 

 honey previously uncapped with the Quinby honey- 

 knife, it threw the honey out so clean that no one 

 would believe they ever contained honey, and not 

 a cell injured. You can imag-ine how delighted I 

 was, never having seen, much less run. an extract- 

 or before, to have succeeded so well for the first 

 time. 



And now allow me to beg pardon for being so 

 selfish, as it were, not to share my pleasures, 

 and thank you ere this, for you were really instru- 

 mental in bringing them about, by filling my order 

 so satisfactorily and promptly ; for to i-eceive my 

 goods, as I did in V.! days from date of order, and 

 8 days from time of shipment, considering distance, 

 by freight, is quick time, and jou deserve the pat- 

 ronage of all who like fair and honest dealing.
