THE ROOT QUEEN-REARING OUTFIT. 



In this outfit are embraced the best points of the best 

 systems in use. It will give satisfaction to the ama- 

 teur as well as the expert. The cell-cups are made of 

 wood, wax-coated. No melted wax is used in their

 and introducing cages. By their use a queen can be re-

 and holds a removable metal and asbestos lining that 

 keeps it cool, adding to its durability. It has no 

 valves to get out of order or snout to clog. 



ALL THAT iS CLAIMED.— The General Manager of 

 the National Bee-keepers' Association says: 



I have given your Twentieth Century a thorough 

 trial. For convenience in lighting, durability, and 

 long time one filling will last and give ample smoke. 

 I find it all you claim. In the spring I shall want 

 several. I always want the best.

Grant Stanley, Nisbet, Pa , July 24, 190.5, writes: 

 "After giving the Danzenbaker Twentieth Century 

 Smoker several trials, can say it surpasses all smokers 

 it has been my liberty to try; it will not go out until the 

 fuel is all consumed, and it produces a cool smoke, a 

 feature very hecessary in any flrst-class smoker." 



Price $1.00; three for $2.50; by mtxil, 25 cts. extra.
