GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Aug. 



FOR SALE! 



A steam-mill, good sound boiler, upright engine, 

 6xlti return crank, slide valve, in good working or- 

 der; overhauled last winter; one of Chandler & 

 Taylor's side-cutting mulley saws, capacity about 

 2000 ft. of hard wood; slat saw; large turning-lathe, 

 counter-shaft, etc.; cap anger, boring machine, new; 

 rip-saw table, with cut-off table running on slides; 3 

 saws; one of J. T. Noy's 30-inch burr-stones for 

 grinding feed, in good order; a complete cidei'-mill 

 with elevator, hopper-bottom, tin; Boomer & Bo- 

 schert patent hand-press; 30 lbs. capacity, and two 

 4-<<crew hand-presses; vats; hoisting apparatus, etc. ; 

 Shafting and pulleys and belts all in place, and all in 

 running order. 



This property is 5'/4 miles from Romeo, in one of 

 the nicest neighborhoods and localities in the State. 

 A church U mile, and new schoolhouse '/4 mile dis- 

 tant. It is a splendid location for an apiary, as the 

 nearest to amount to any thing is two miles. There 

 is plenty of bass wood, which a man can buy cheap, 

 and manufacture sections, hives, etc. The fall and 

 winter would be fully occupied in making cider, 

 grinding, and sawing. Tt is a great stock section, 

 and a great amount of feed is crround. The log-cut 

 this year was al)0ut 100,000 ft. The fruit-ladder busi- 

 ness is a good one also. 



There is a growing demand in all this section of 

 country for implements for the apiarv, which is not 

 satisfactorily filled near at home. The right man 

 with this property can not fail to make a nice thing 

 out of it. We could make thousands of sections 

 from custom, sawing slats. 1 manufacture all my 

 ladder-rounds from ash slabs, at a trifling expense. 



I want to sell, because I have other business and 

 property too far from this to attend to both. I will 

 sell the machinery and fixtures for $1700, and give 

 the use of building, and as much land as may be 

 needed for log-yard for the ashes and sawdust. Will 

 take S1000 in sawing at $3 00 per 1000 ft., and the re- 

 mainder down, or give some time to suit purchaser. 

 The Ex-President, Hon. Geo. W. Phillips, of our 

 State Agricultural Society, lives within Yz mile of 

 this property, and I would refer to him as to the cor- 

 rectness of these statements. 



There is a small house near that can be rented, or 

 can be bought with 15 acres of nice land, with small 

 orchard on, and a suitable place for apiary.

SHIPPING-CANS 



" Iron- Jacket " Honey-Cans. 



I presume the friends are aware that ordinary tin 

 cans are not very safe for shipping full of honey, 

 unless boxed or crated. The cans above are ready 

 to be shipped anywhere. 



PRICES. 



1 Gallon, $0.25 each. 



2 " .38 " 



3 " .47 " 



5 " .68 " 



10 " 1.10 " 



By figuring 11 lbs. of honey to the gallon, you can 

 easily see how many pounds each can holds. They 

 are made from tin plates. A sheet-iron casing, with 

 wood bottom, protects them from bruising. The iron 

 jacket is stronger than wood, and far more service- 

 able. They neither shrink nor swell, and do not 

 split nor fall apart. Every can is tested by steam 

 and guaranteed to be tight.
