GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

I We Have 

 I Not Hoved. 



The government, recognizing the 

 necessity of a great and growing bus- 

 iness enterprise, for better mail ser- 

 vice has given us a postoffice on our 

 premises, wh ch enables us to change 

 mails with the passing trains instead 

 of through the Wetumpka, Alabama, 

 postoffice more than a mile distant. 

 This gives us our mails about two 

 hours earlier, and also one hour for 

 making up outgoing mail. This will 

 be particularly helpful in our queen 

 business. We are now booking or- 

 ders for Italian queens. I^ong-tongued 

 ^ and leather-colored; both good. ^

MADE TO ORDER 



Bin gham Brass Smokers, 



Made of sheet brass, which does not rust or burn out; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 same size. The little open cut shows our brass hinge put on the 

 three larger sizes. Xo wonder Bingham's four-inch smoke-engine 

 goes without pufBng, and does not drop inky drops. The perforat- 

 ed steel fire-grate has 3.S1 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 

 Heavy tin smoke-engine, 4-inch stove, per mail, $1.50; 3,^-inch, 

 $1.10; ,3-inch. $1.00; 2'4-inch, 90c; 2-inch, 65c. Bingham smokers are 

 the originals, and have all the improvements, and have been the 

 standard of excellence for 23 years. Only three larger ones brass.
