What you can get for ■^'■iXO. A 3-frame nucleus 

 on L. frames, containing two frames of brood, 

 Italian (jueen, frames covered with bees; 75 Italian 

 queens will be sent to fill first orders. Such nuclei 

 as I send will not only grow into strong- colonies, 

 but will doubly pay all expenses with surplus hon- 

 ey. A great many customers have reported over 

 $8.00 from each nucleus. If you want full colonies, 

 or bees in any form except by the pound, write me 

 before ordering elsewhere. Orders will be filled 

 from the 35th of May to June 15. Stfdb

FOR SALE. 



One second-hand fdn. mill that will roll sheets 14 

 inches wide. The mill is at present In New Ham- 

 burg, Ont., Can. The original price on it was $40.00, 

 but we will now sell it at half price, or $30.01). 



Also one exactly like it, owned by W. W. Bliss, of 

 Duarte, Los Angeles Co., Cal. There is nothing- 

 wrong with these mills, except that the rolls ai-e of 

 smaller diameter than those we now make, in con- 

 sequence of which they do not make quite so thin 

 fdn. right in the middle of the rolls as those made 

 now with rolls of a larger diameter. They will, how- 

 ever, roll narrow sheets equal to any, and will roll 

 sheets a foot wide; but when of so great a width, 

 the center is a trifle thicker, as explained above. 



Also one 9-inch Dunham mill, second hand. The 

 mill has, however, been completely fitted up, paint- 

 ed, and varnished, and is, to all appearances, both 

 in looks and quality of work, equal to a new one. 

 Price SSSO.OO. The list price of a new mill of this 

 kind is $40.00. 



Also two 10-inch mills of our own make, that were 

 taken from parties who were wanting mills of long- 

 er rolls. These have been finished, and we pro- 

 nounce them in every respect almost as good as 

 new. Price $15.00 each. 



Also one 10-inch mill, Olm make, fixed over so as 

 to do about as good work as it ever did. Price 

 $12.00. A. I. ROOT, JM;edina, O.
