MADE TO ORDER. 



Bin g ham Brass Smokers 



Made of sheet brass, which does not rust or burn out ; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 'iame size. The little open cut shows our brass hinge put on the 

 three larger sizes. No wonder Bingham's 4-inch smoke-engine 

 goes without puffing, and does not drop inky drops. The perforated 

 steel fire-grate has 381 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 



Heavy tin smoke engine, 4-inch stove per mail, $1.50 ; 3^-inch, 

 SI. 10; 3-inch, $1.00; 2^ inch, 90c; 2-inch, a5c. Bingham smokers are 

 the originals, and have all the improvements, and have been the 

 standard of excellence for 22 years. Only three larger ones brass.

SEETHE PO\UTS\ 



I have had fifteen years of experience in producing 

 honey and rearing queens ; and I am breeding queens 

 from a queen procvired last spring from J. F. Mcln- 

 tyre, of Sespe, California' He describes this stock on 

 page 12 of Gleanings for Jan. 1st, as filling the supers 

 when other colonies were actually .starving. The 

 drones in my yard are from excellent stock — such as 

 that of J. P. Moore, of Kentucky. I rear queens by 

 the Doolittle method, send them by return mail, and 

 guarantee safe arrival, purity of mating, and -atisfac- 

 tion, at 50 cts. each, in any quantity. Money refund- 

 ed if queens are not satisfactory. Send for circular.
