GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



983 



WEED FOUNDATION MACHINERY IN DENVER. 



We have placed an outfit of Weed machinery for the 

 manufacture of comb foundation with Henry h . Hagen, 

 of Denver, Colo . and the foreman of our wax-room is 

 now in Denver instiucting Mr. Hagen in the operation 

 of the tnachities. We commend Mr. Hagen to the bee- 

 keepers and dealers in Colorado and vicinity, as he is 

 in posiiion to furnish them with foundation made by 

 the Weed proces.s. Mr. Hagen formerly kept bees in 

 Rocky Ford, Colo., and handled supplies at ihat i oint 

 to the extent of five carloads iii one season. Having 

 known him for yeais we can recommend him as reli- 

 able. 



TOBACCO DUST. 



We have some ten barrels of tobacco dust made 

 from grounft stems as well as sweepings not .so strong 

 as the regular dust we have handled, but which will 

 make an exctllent fertilizer as well as in.<-ect destroy- 

 er in greenhouse work. It will have to be used more 

 liberallv than the regular dust to be effective. There 

 is about 200 lbs. to a ban el. We offer it at S2 00 a bar- 

 rel to move it. This is about half to two-thirds the 

 regular price, and it should be well worth this price. 



THE ROOT-GERMAN STEAM WAX-PRESS. 



Many bee-keepers allow old combs and scraps of 

 beeswax to collect, which, for lack of time and the 

 proper utensil, are scattered or eaten up by moth- 

 ■worms. A big item would be added to the year's 

 profits by the timely rendering of said wax bv an eco- 

 nomical process. We believe'the press illustrated be- 

 low fills a long-felt want in rendering wax. 



Our German machine is patterned after some of 

 the best steam-extractors that have been used across 

 the water, using the best features of all of them. 

 Price $14.00.
