The wax-press illustrated and described in our last 

 issue will be listed in our catalog for this year at $6.00, 

 and will he known as the Hatch press. We will also 

 list the Root-German at $12.00. A kettle or boiler is 

 necessary with the Hatch press to use in melting up 

 the combs ready for pressing. With the Root-Ger- 

 man press much greater speed can be made by melt- 

 ing the combs in a separate boiler, but if you have 

 plenty of time you can get along with the press alone.

BEE MODELS — THE ANATOMY OF THE BEE. 



There are a good many bee-keepers who will admit 

 they ought to know more about the anatomy of the 

 bee; but owing to the difficulties surrounding the sub- 

 ject they have ihu-i far been unable to acquaint them- 

 selves in the least with the marvelous structure of 

 the honey-bee. For such persons there has been aon- 

 strvnited iipustihoard hce, showing all the iuternals 

 of a queen and also of a drone in a manner that leaves 

 little to be desired. With the aid of the key any in- 

 telligent person may soon become well acquainted 

 with the anatomy of the bee and the proper name of 

 each organ. First there is a life-like representation 

 of the queen and drone (separately). By lifting the 

 outer covering the breathing apparatus an.'i digestive 

 system are unfolded; lifting again there will be lound 

 the reproductive system and poison-glands; and by 

 again lifting, the nervous system is clearly outlined. 

 Every thing is as clear as daylight, as each part and 

 organ is numbered, t..nd the key which we send gives 

 the correct scientillc name of the same. Our models 

 of the queen measure 6/4 inches, while those of the 

 drone are bVz inches. We can furnish either with key 

 at 50 cts. postpaid. Our stock will be ready about 

 Feb. 1. 



IMPBOVED BINGHAM KNIFE. 



Last season Mr. Townsend, of Michigan, suggested

 blade with the handle the writer conceived the idea
