Hastings' Pevieclion Feeder.— 



This excellent Feeder will hold 3 quarts, 

 and the letting down of the feed is regulated 

 by a thumb-screw. The cap screws securely 

 on. It is easy to regulate— either a spoonful 

 or a quart— and that amount can be given 

 in an hour or a day, as desired. By it the 

 food can be given where it is most needed- 

 just over the cluster. Not a drop need be 

 lost, and uo robber bees can get at it. A 

 single one can be had {or 40 cents, or a 

 dozen for 83.50, and it can be obtained at 

 this ofiBce. Postage 10 cents extra.
