GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



521 



Doing two men's work 



may not be possible for a man using a honey-extractor 

 arranged like the one described in the April Bee-keep- 

 ers' Review, but it will be a great help in that direc- 

 tion. There is an illutration and description of an ex- 

 tractor in which the reel can be brought up to a high 

 speed, then the cogwheels slipped out of gear, and 

 the reel allowed to spin like a top, silently but effect- 

 ually emptying one side of the combs while the opera- 

 tor is uncapping half enough combs for the next run, 

 when the reel can be stopped almost instantly by afoot- 

 brake, the baskets reversed, the wheels slipped into 



gear, the speed run up, then the gearing again slipped 

 out of gear, and the reel allowed to spin again while 

 enough more combs are being uncapped to complete the 

 next run. 



Almost any extractor can be changed over, or arrang- 

 ed, so as to possess these advantages. 



Send ten cents for a copy of the Review showing 

 how it can be done, and the ten cents may apply on any 

 subscription sent in during the year.

Hammond's Slug Shot for Potato Bugs, Currant, Cabbage Worms, Etc. 



To THE Editor of American Gardening: 



In your issue of June 18, on page 399, I notice a good article on the Colora- 

 do Beetle or Potato bug. For the benefit of your numerous readers I would 

 advise them to try Hammond's Slug Shot. I have used it here this season 

 with excellent results, on Potatoes, Egg Plants, Cucumbers, and Squash, 

 for Potato Bugs and, also, for Striped Beetles, and it is the best remedy I 

 know of, simple and effective. I purchased two of the Dusters which he ad- 

 vertised in your paper, and they are very useful articles. The best time to 

 dust the plants is early morning, as the substance adheres much better when 

 the dew is on. A light dusting is sufficient, and woe betide the bugs or the 

 larvae. Once they get a taste of it they shrivel up right away.
