G Newman.— This pamphlet discourses upon the 

 Ancient History of Bees and Honey , the natiire, 



auality, sources, and preparation of Honey for the 

 . i.„. . u.^«a,. oQ f.^.irf (Hvinp reclnes tor making 



Prof Cook, In his v.aluable Manual of the Aplarv, 

 states that " Mr. Bingham was the flrst to Improve 

 the old Quinby smoker by establishing a direct 

 draft." Five years of perslhtent effort has demon- 

 strated that no one but Bingham has been able to 

 improve a Bingham smoker. Hundreds of Bing- 

 ham smokers have been in use Ave years, and are 

 yet in working order. They burn lots ot blocks 

 ind chips and stufl. and make lots of smoke and 

 comfort, and have no dampers or match-box at- 

 tachments, as they never go out or fall to blow 

 smoke up or down or sideways, much or little, 

 swifter slow, just asyoB please, any or all the 

 time ; top up or down, they always go! , .„„ k„ 



Bee-keepers will save money and vexation by 

 buying genuine Bingham smokers and Bingbain «

"tJ^h European and American orders already 

 received for over 3,1.1110, there is evidence that iSta
