Bin g ham Brass Smokers 



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

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

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

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

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

 steel fire-grate has 3S1 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 



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

 SI. 10; 3-inch, 81.00; 2% inch, 90c; 2-inch, 65c. Bingham smokers are 

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

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

 I READY! 



SEETHi.?0\HTS\ 



I have had fifteen years of experience in producing 

 honey and rearing queens ; and I am breeding queens 

 from a queen procured last spring from J. F. Mclu- 

 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 satisfac- 

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

 ed if queens are not satisfactory. Send for circular.
