SI CTION BOX. 



SECTION BOXf S AND THEIR PCSITOV IX THE HIVE. 



The above cut ind the cuts on the cover, will make 

 everything; plain, almost withoiU, explanation. As we 

 send a corapl'^te section box with nice strip of fdn.. and 

 printed direcfi'ins for fastening: it in the frimei, by im'l 

 for 5c., we will not attempt aii.v description here^ The 

 cut on the lelt, <.hows one of llie-tn'oad frames containinir 

 8 s'ctions, and A. A. are the ends' of the hive. 1?, B. are 

 the end strips tint «re nailed under the cover of the hive, 

 and D, is the c<,ver itself, before heinej nailed on to B. B. 

 C, C, shows the shoulders that hold the cover on the un- 

 per stnries. while the bevels hold it securely in place, and 

 exclude rain and wind. 



CASE roil THREE SECTION BOXES WITH SEFAKATOR. 



A case of 3 section boxes, separators and fdn. com- 

 plete, as in cut above, 10c; if sent by mail, 25c. This 

 arranfreraent, is intended for box hives, or for tall 

 Iram^ hives. If preferred to the frames, they can also 

 be usi'd on the L. hive. This a'ranf^ement is essen- 

 tially the same as the one used by Doolittle and Bet- 

 singer. As the price is very close, no discount can be 

 given on laiger quantities.

 nislicd with fdn. starters, and tin separators, the 

 whole comi)letc. ready to hang in the hiv(i as seen at

2 Horse Power Engine and Boiler, ?lnO (10 



."it )4 Horse ., „ 2.50 01) 



These Engines are tested at 300 lb?, prt^ssure, th jilif- 

 ferent parts are made interchang.3alile. the w irk and 

 material is guaranteed (ir-t class, and it is claimed that 

 it is practically impossible to explode the boiler. 



They are mounted on wheels, renderingitconvenient 

 for moving, and are complete in all parts, except tlie 

 Snnke stack, which should be a 6 or 8 inch str>ve jiipe. 

 I have taken pains to look this matter up in regard 

 to these small engmes, and those we offer are I think, 

 fully equal t) anything made for anything like the 

 ))rice. They .ire I urnished at the above prices, at the 

 factory in Corning, X. Y. Although engines of 1 horse 

 power are otfered for sale, we thiuk it will be much 

 better to purchase one of not less than two horse 

 power as above. The one horse power Ennrines are no 

 cheaper. 



WAX EXTRACTOR. 



Clamps for erooving stuff for section boxes, made of 

 heavy wrought iron, price 75 cents. 



SPRING BALANCE, 



Is shown at No. 15, on the cover, a nice article SS 00 



These scales are made weather proof, and when arran-cd 

 to suspend a moderate sized colony, may be left outfall 

 summer. As the figures on the dial are" larse and nlaiii 

 we can see at a distance the average yield of honey per 



Price S:5,50. This machine is very simple, for we have 

 only to throw our refuse comb into the basket B. and set 

 it inside the cm A. Xow put on the c iver, and jilnce it 

 over a pan orketile of boiling water: the steam will as- 

 cend all around B, and the melted wax will run down 

 and ilow out of the tube O. Under the end of this tuVje, 

 is kept a pan to catch the wax. As fast as the comb sinks 

 down, more can be put in, and so on. The machine re- 

 quires no attention, except to rill the tias'cet B. £t you 

 have no kettle that is 12 inches across the to:i inside, we 

 can furnish a copper bottomed steam generator for ?1,50.
