GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Nov. 15. 



EHGIHES. 



Yes, we build a few. We have, ia connection with our 

 large bee-plant, a first-class, well-equipped machine-shop, 

 in which we build all kinds of bee-hive macliinery, saw-man- 

 drels, saw-tables, dovetailing-machines, foundation-mills, 

 extractor-gearings, etc., and, when our men have nothing 

 else to do, engines. These are upright in style, and econo- 

 mize floor space. They are built under the special supervi- 

 sion of an expert machinist of many years' experience. The 

 rods are all of finished steel. The cross heads and slides are 

 of the substantial locomotive style. The cylinders are 

 lagged with Russia iron, and are brass-bound. The boxes 

 are babbitted, and can be easily taken up for wear. The 

 piston - head is provided with two expansion - rings. The 

 bright parts shine like a dollar. The governor is a Waters, 

 substantial and reliable. We have three of these engines 

 running in our works. One has been running two years, 

 with excellent results. Making them, as we do, during our 

 dull season, thej' are immeasurably superior to the oi'dinary 

 engines of their kind, and the price is low, considering the 

 very fine quality of the work. Price of the 2X-horse-power 

 engine, governor and govener-belt, all ready to attach to a 

 boiler, $75; 5 h. p., $100; IK h. p., $12.5; 10 h. p., $150. These 

 prices are net, although we will make the usual discount for 

 cash. If you want a thoroughly well-made engine, you can 

 'lot do better than to select one of these, providing the 

 range of power is within what you need. While we com- 

 pete in quality of workmanship we can not compete in price 

 with some of the cheap engines oh the market.
