GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Sept. 



New Quinby Smokers ! 



The Smoker I am oflfcrinor the present season, is 

 entirely new in many respects, and is pronouncerl 

 the best in marltet. In quality of material and man- 

 ner of construction, it is as durable as can be made. 

 It works as perfectly in ever}' way, as any smoker 

 now in use. 

 ■ See what bee-keepers say of it. 



"I have thoroughly tested the smoker. It works 

 like a charm. Everythinfr about it is perfect. They 

 are made in a thorough and workmanlike manner. 



1 consider it the best smoker in use." 

 Wenham, Mass"., July 10, 1878. H. Alley. 

 "After selling- a large number of your smokers we 



are gratified to know that they give general satisfac- 

 tion. We keep all the prominent styles in stock, 

 and wheneA-er a visitor buys one he always selects 

 the New Quinby in preference to any other."

We are pleased to announce that we are now pre- 

 pared to supply Comb Foundation made from pure 

 yellow beeswax-, that has wire incorporated in it. 

 This is manufactured by an entirely new process, 

 and we are able to make 6 sq. ft. to the lb. of Foun- 

 dation containing the wire. By any other process, 

 it has not been* possible to make over 3 to 4 sq. ft. 

 per lb. when wire was added. The necessity for 

 putting wire into brood foundation, is becoming 

 daily more apparent. Capt. Hetherington, C. C. 

 "Van Deusen, L. C. Root, and other prominent apiar- 

 ists could not be induced to use foundation with- 

 out the wire addition. It positively prevents all 

 sagging, and the combs handle so much stronger 

 that the difference in cost is of no account in the 

 long run. Without the wire, by this new meth- 

 od we can make foundation for surplus comb honey 

 that measures 10 sq. ft. to the lb., and the base of 

 cells are so thin that the weight is nearly all in the 

 side walls. No "fishbone" will ever be found in box 

 honey made on this foundation. 



We are able to supply this fdn. promptly, in any 

 quantity, at following sizes and prices, viz: founda- 

 tion containing wire— sheets cut 10x16, 10x18, 

 814x1614 or 119:£xl2— less than 50 lbs. 80c per lb., 50 

 lbs. and over, 75c per lb. If wanted in different 

 sizes from those mentioned, add 10c per lb. to aboA-e 

 prices. Sample sheets of either size, post paid, bj' 

 mail 30c. 



The thin yellow fdn. for surplus comb honey in 

 sheets 8x161/4 or 12x31 less than .50 lbs. 70c per lb. .50 

 lbs. and over, 65e per lb. The latter kind made from 

 white wax, add 2.5c per lb. to price of yellow. Small 

 samples of all three kinds by mail, 15c. We have 

 issued a small circular telling how to use it, and de- 

 scribing it more fully. 



For prices of old style fdn. and Italian queens, see 

 July No. Gleanings. Shipping crates of all kinds 

 made to order. The Hetherington crate a specialty. 

 See my circular for prices. 



Send P. O. money orders, payable to me, on New
