SMOKE 



AND 



SMOKEHS. 



I am overwhelmed with letters asking "which size 

 of smoker is the best?" 



Mr. J. E. Hetherington ordered eight of the large 

 for his apiaries, and for cuarscfuel they are the best. 



The Standard is what its name implies, and consti- 

 tutes the Jjulk of sales so far. 



The small is a pretty implement answering nicely 

 for a few colonies of bees, and to kill lice on house 

 plants; it is larger, however, than the improved 

 Quinby. 



The first "Direct Draft" smoker ever sold has been 

 used one year, and sold for one dollar, as the gentle- 

 man wanted a large size. 



It was a Standard and he paid $2.00 and says "he 

 would not be tvithoid one a single day in the season 

 for the pric£." 



They go all the time and burn sound or rotten wood, 

 tobacco, or sidphur. 



Directions sent with every smoher. 



These smokers are a necessity in modei-n bee cidture, 

 and are indispensable in the easy, proflf^^'^f and pleas- 

 ant managenv.nt of bees in any hive— ancient or mod- 

 ern. Sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price.

 brick building, into which he will put a large steam 

 engine, and the hest machinery that can be pro- 

 cured, for the manufacture of Bee Hives, Honey 

 Boxes, Comb Foundation, &c., &c. He expects to

A New Monthly Devoted to Bees. 



About January 15th, we will issue the first number 

 of our new periodical, '"The Bee-Keepers' Exchange, ' 

 a Miiijazinc devoted exclusively to the best interests of 

 producers and consumers of honey. We will spare 

 neither time, talent, nor expense to make this peri- 

 odical at once attractive, useful and successful. To 

 this end, we will not fill up the columns devoted to 

 reading matter with pufEs and publisher's notices of 

 our own goods, but will confine all advertisements 

 strictly to the space set apart for them. That we 

 may accomplish this, we invite our large corps of 

 friends and customers to contribute freely to our 

 columns. 



Single yearly subscription, 75c. Two subscriptions 

 at one time, #1.30. Three to five, fOc. each. Very 

 liberal inducements to agents. 



A new Premium list will soon be ready. We hope 

 our friends will rally around the new periodical, and 

 at once establish it on a prosperous basis. A pros- 

 pectus f>f the new periodical giving further particu- 

 lars and details is now ready, and will be sent free 

 to any address. " J. H. NELLIS,
