ROOT S POWER EXTRACTORS 



for the LARBE PRODUCER for 1914 



The late W. Z. Hutchinson, when 

 asked as to what would combine 

 best with beekeeping, said, " The 

 best thing to go with bees is — 

 more bees." If more bees is the 

 slogan, then the best equipment 

 should be installed. This would 

 be an outfit that will handle ad- 

 vantageously the product of 200 

 or more colonies with a minimum 

 of time and labor. 



POWER EXTRACTING OUTFIT.— The value of this cannot be gauged 

 entirely by the number of days it is used during the season. It should 

 be remembered that it displaces a large amount of extra equipment in 

 the way of extra supers and combs. The extracting must be done quick- 

 ly in order to hold in check the swarming that is sure to follow unless 

 room is given when needed. The amount thus saved, including reduc- 

 tion of labor and time, will materially reduce cost of production. 



ENGINE. — This should not be selected without due examination. There 

 are certain types of gasoline-engines that are not fitted for driving 

 honey-extractors. Machines requiring to be started and stopped an 

 endless number of times during the day require an engine of special 

 construction, and the beekeeper will do well to investigate thoroughly 

 these points before purchasing. Our new engines, the ' ' BUSY BEE, ' ' 

 are selected for and are exactly adapted for just this kind of work. 



CAPPING-MELTER. — No extracting house is complete without one. 

 We have a number of styles and sizes to select 

 from. Illustrations of all these will be found in 

 our large catalog. The smaller sizes are intended 

 to be used with wax-presses, which also are shown. 



HONEY-KNIVES.— For rapid and easy work our 

 new steam honey-knives can't be beat. Extra tub- 

 ing is furnished when ordered. Send for our new 

 34-page book, ' ' Power Honey-extractors, ' ' describ- 

 ing these fully. 



These equipments are supplied by various 

 dealers throughout the country. Information as 

 to nearest dealer on request.
