Ha! Ha! Ha! Just What 1 Want! 



The MicMffan Bee-Keepers' Association, having all the Smo- 

 kers before it, " pronounced Bingham's Patent Smoker' the 

 best." 



J P Moore, of Binghamton, New York, after using one some 

 time, said : " My Smoker troubles are all over, and the bee- 



keepers owe you a debt of gratitude.' 

 Prof esaor Cook, of Michigan Agricultural College, sayai 



'It 



is the best in the market. 



R. M. Argo, Lowell, Kentucky, says: •' It is all that any bee- 

 keeper could desire." 



Paul Iv. Viallon, Bayou Goula, Louisiana, writes, April Gth, 

 1878: "your Smokers are far superior to any ever invented ; 

 and we bee-keepers owe you a vote of thanks for your ingenious 

 Invention. Many may try to improve on yours, but I am posi- 

 tive none will make abetter one." 



This is the first and only bellows Smoker ever made which 

 would burn stove-wood. It burns anything combustible, and 

 needs no care except to be refilled once in one or two hours. 

 Works easy, and will throw a stream of smoke ten feet. It will 

 not go'out or wear out. It will save time, stings and money, and 

 perhaps a valuable horse. j 



The inventor is the only party having aright to manufacture 

 said Smoker, and it is safe to buy of him.

BINGHAM & HETHERINGTON'S HONEY KNIFE. 



These knives are peculiarly 

 constructed, and of the best 

 steel, finish and temper. To se- 

 cure the credit of our invention 

 and enable us to furnish them 

 cheaply, and of standard excel- 

 lence to bee-keepers, we have 

 had them patented. 

 In use, if the combs are held 

 upright the caps are carried away from the combs so they never touch them after 

 being cut off. If the combs are laid on a table to uncap, the movable cap-catcher 

 gathers the wide sheet of caps in a roll, and easily carries all that the largest 

 combs contain without dropping one upon the comb after being cut off. The blade 

 is two inches wide ; but as only the edge rests on the combs, they uncap the most 

 delicate combs without tearing, and work as easily as if only one-fourth inch wide. 

 Sent singly, per express, for $1.00, With Movable Cap-catcher, 8B1.S5. 

 As knives are not carried in the mail, we make 10 per cent, reduction from reg- 

 ula/r retail rates to clubs and others who send the money for three or more, to be 

 sent in one package. (^" Send for circular. Address,

Lansing, Mich., Feb. 11, 1879.— After a thorough trial of your honey knife here at 

 the College, we pronounce it decidedly superior to any other that we have used, 

 though we have several of the principal knives made in the United States. 



A. J. Cook. 



Middlefleld, N. Y., Jan. 8, J1879.— I have been using your two-inch uncapping 

 knife the ;past season. For rapidity and ease in operating, they far excel any 

 knife I have ever used. Its shape and beveled edges make it perfect for uncap- 

 ping uneven and crooked combs. It works equally well with either right or left 

 stroke. We uncapped hundreds of combs in piece boxes, and both my associates 

 and myself have come to the conclusion that they facilitate the labor fully one- 

 half, and are perfection itself, leaving nothing to beWesired. A. G. Murphy. 



Cherry Valley, N, Y., Jan. 5, 1879.— I jeceived the knives all right, and on accoun t 

 of their superiority I feel that you, and bee-keepers as well, are entitled to a re- 

 port on them. For my own use I much prefer them to any knife I have ever 

 uncapped with, for the reason that I can uncap much more honey. A better test 

 is in the hands of three or four of my men who used them for several consecu- 

 tive days, and without exception pronounced them the best knives I owned One 

 even went so far as to insist that he could uncap one-third; faster than with any 

 other knife I had, and when uncapping prize boxes he satisfactorily demonstrated 

 it. You may send me half a dozen for my own apiaries. J. B. Hethbbington. 



The Michigan Bee-Keepers' Association especially recommends the Bingham & 

 Hetherington Honey Knife and the Bingham Smoker.
