(gfAt the Chicago meeting of the Na- 

 tional Society we were requested to get 

 photographs of the leading apiarists, to 

 sell to those who wanted them. We can 

 now supply the following at 25 cents 

 each : Dzierzon, the Baron of Ber- 

 lepsch, and Langstroth. The likeness 

 of Mr.Langstroth we have copied, is one 

 furnished by his daughter, who says, 

 " it is the only one ever taken when he 

 was in good health and spirits." We 

 are glad to be able to secure one of such 

 a satisfactory nature. 



gg" It would save us much trouble, if 

 all would be particular to give their P.O. 

 address and name, when writing to 

 this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no 

 name. Many others having no Post- 

 office, County or State. Also, if you 

 li^e near one postoffice and get your 

 mail at another, be sure to give the ad- 

 dress we have on our list. 



Food for the Brain and Nerves that will 

 invigorate the body without intoxica- 

 ting, is what we need in these days of 

 rush and worry. Parker's Ginger Tonic 

 restores the vital energies, soothes the 

 nerves and brings good health quicker 

 than anything you can use. — Tribune.

THE ORIGINAL QUINBY SMOKER, 



with upright bellows and tube, has been upon the 

 market five years lunger than any smoker made. 



"The lurgest bee-kee er- use them." 



" The Heihenngton Bros are the must extensive 

 bee-keepers in the United States." 



Cherry Valley, N. V., March 22, 1881. 



After testing your smokers with others of the best 

 make, I do not hesitate to ordertwo dozen for use in 

 our apiaries. When we use a Smoker we make a 

 business of it, running it all day and burning hard 

 maple wood, which tests the construction most thor- 

 oughly. Those we have been using admit coals into 

 the bellows, which burn the leather. The tube in 

 yourQuinby Smoker running further into the fire- 

 box, must prevent this in a great measure. 



J. E. Hetherington. 



We warrant our new Double-Bl »st to be the BEST 

 Smoker made, or will refund the money.
