GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

New Brodbeck CorneiM 



DoiibleBIast 



We have now made arrangements 

 by which we can furnish the Brod- 

 beck patented features in our regu- 

 lar Jumbo 4 inch-barrel smoker. It 

 has an inner birrel, or b!;-l^t-ch amber, in which the fuel is placed so that the fire 

 d es not come in contact with the smoker-cup proper. In use the blast in forced 

 against a deflector from which it is then driven between the inner and outer bar- 

 rel, and also through the grate and fuel. The direct effect of this is to create a 

 double blast — a cold and a hot— to incre -se the force of the blast, and to prolong 

 the life of the smoker because the outer barrel will be nearly cold. The smoke 

 will not be quite so dense and pungent as in the hot-blast smokers of standard 

 pattern ; but there are some who may prefer a stronger blast, even if the smoke is 

 less pungent. Price of the Brodbeck Cornell, d*_ O^-^

WAX PROFITS.

 Wax-press. Price $11.00. Shipping 

 weight, 70 lbs. 



Many bee -keepers allow old combs and 

 scraps of beeswax to collect, which, for lack 

 of time and the proper utensils, are scattered 

 or eaten up by moth -worms. A 

 big item would be added to the 

 year's profits by the timely ren- 

 deriEg" of said wax by an econom- 

 ical process. We believe the press illus- 

 trated herewith fills a long-felt want in 

 rendering wax. 



B. Walker, Clyde, 111., says: 



Was inclined to believe at first that the German 

 wax-press was a failure; but after a thorough trial 

 I was well pleased. I secured 30 lbs. more wax 

 from one day's use of the machine than I would 

 have secured by the ordinary method of rendering. 



N. E. France, Platteville, Wis., State In- 

 spector of Apiaries, and General Manager 

 National Bee-keepers' Association, says: 



The German wax- press is by far the best ma- 

 chine or process to save wax from old black brood- 

 combs.
