No. 1 shows a Simplicity Hive, single storj',with the Enameled Sheet removed, so as to ?how the 10 frames in place. We are obliged to have the Enameled Sheet, shown at No. 8, flited cloiely over the frames, that the bees may not get to the cover, or it would be stuck so tightly to the frames that we could never get the hive open. For wintering, a thick cushion is used above the Enameled Sheet, and placed in an upper story. This hive is shown with the entrance closed, by pushing it back squarely on the bottom-board, while Nos. 2 and 3 are pushed forward so as to give a ?^-inch passage for the bees.

Bee keepers who are ready and willing to work for their honey are all busy, we believe, and are all, so far as we know, realizing sls fair a reward for the time and capital invested, as in other kinds of business. A few of the most keen and enterprising are, as in all kinds of business, far outstripping the rest, and it rests with you alone, ray friend, to determine what place in the ranks you will oc- cupy. Just one piece of advice: However attractive the wares may seem that we are about to describe, we would say, don't get in debt for them ; if you haven't the money to purchase, don't buy until you got it. Be humble and satisfied with little, and let your ajiiary grow of itself, and be self-sustaining. I say this because I really do not wish you to be disappointed. If you study the subject and be- come thoroughly familiar with the bees by actual work among them, both capital and bees will come as fast as you can handle either. I want to see you all prosper, and to do so, you must be cheerful, courageous and indepen- dent; above all, don't get crazy and extravagant if you should happen to get S2.5 or .<50, as tlie proceeds of one colony in a season ; prosperity is sometimes harder to bear than adversity. It has'ahvays seemed as if those who send us very lart'c or- ders should have a little better rates tbiui tlu><.i> wliii order on- ly one article at a time, or. say. a (lollar's worth of (roods, or 8U(!h a'matter. Well, the truth is. (rienil>, 1 have liirmeil many articles down so low that there is barillv iuuim lor anv discuuiit at all, especially those sold at ten ami InunlriMl lates. Howev- er, we have decided to make a iliscomit of two p,r cent on all eash orders of 850.00 or over; three per cent on SlOO or over, and five per ce on orders of 850O or over. of a few articles in our price list, such as tin, glass, sugar, nails, honey-seeds. .Vc. the prices are subject to change without notice; but oui- ciistoiiiers may i-est assured that we always give them the lowest juices wc c:in. !E3isx:>eciei,l KTotloe. If there is any raistttke in goods received; if they are damaged, or don't hai>pen to be what you ex- pect, DO NOT RETURN THEM until you have noti- tled us, and we have directed in regard to their dis- posal.

If our patrons, when writing for goods, would make the order on a separate piece of paper, or on one half the sheet so that it can be easily sep.arated from the rest of the nommunication, it would not only often prevent mistakes in filling tho order, and much trouble both to us and themselves, but it would save me hundreds of dollars in the time of clerks. We like to receive bits of bee news, reports, explanations, questions, &c., &c., even chatty visit- ing letters, but they are very expensive when each one of three or four different clerKS has to read such letters all through in order to be sure that the orders, mixed in along, are all properly attended to. Please remember this when making an order, and MAKE YOUR ORDERS FROM THIS CATALOGUE, AND CALL THINGS BY TH£ SAME NAMES THEY ARE CALLED HERE. 1883 LM1^LEME24TS IN BEE CULTURE. let that be written out as plainly and concisely as possible, and, wlmre your HJxpiMS or Freignt, Ojffice i« of a aiffcrtnt aaarens from your Fostojftce, pUa«6 be suuE to give botli very distinctly, iJiJVis'L'Y and all.

IMPLEMKNTS FOR THE APIARY. We continually mrow out or remodel every thing- in our ilm wnen louud in auy way detective, ana v. e oiler DoHiiug mat we uo not approve oi auu use in our own apiary.

The aoove could be sent by P. O. Order tor iu cents, but still we will send theui (J. O. D. when desired, with ibe exception of sucb perishable property as bees and queens. Orders for frames or nives, of dimen- sions differing from those named, will be liable to some adaitional 'delay, especially during the "Hon- ey months." EXPRESS AND FREIGHT CHARGES. We can prepay Express charges when desired to do so, and i believe it, as a general tbing, secures a little lower rate. This i-eters particularly to tne Am., Ad- ams, U. S., and Union Cos.; rales turougbtue South- ern Exp. (Jos. are very higb, and we have not been able to make any arrangement to prepay througd them. If goods are not wanted at once, tney can be sent by freight at one-half, or still less rates ; but it is very unwise to wait until they are wanted and then order by freight. As an illustration of cbargts we nave taken l lo., S lbs., and an extractor weigning about 40 pounds, if your express office is not on a main line, from :J5 to M cents more must be added. This is rather indenuite, we are aware, but it is ttie best we can do. Hives in the flat and other heavy g-oods can be sent by freight third class, at the rates per luu lbs. shown in third-class column. Extractors, and hives set up, except the Simplicity, go at double ffrst-class rates. JNo package at third-class freight at rates given, unless '4W lbs. or over.

If you do not wish to take any risk of loss, send P. O. Order, registered letter, or get a JS. X. Draft. 1 have been in the habit of advising small amounts, say $:i.w and under, without reyistering; and when losses have occurred, 1 have sent the goods and ashed for half price. 1 am sorry to say, my friends, 1 can do so no more. The following letter from one of the officials of the Postoffice Dcpanmeni explainx the rea^son: Friena Koot;— The fost-omce Department advises everybody sending money by mail to register or send by money order. Several thousand men are em- ployed m the postal service, nearly all young men, ana experience has demonsiratod tne fact that it is wise not to tempt them, as now and then one falls, and the punishment falls most heavily on a wife, child, or mother. We will do all we can to guard the mails, and And out the guilty, but it olien takes moutns and years to do it. Uan you not advise your customers to send by register or money order? An- other point: people are tempted to ciaim that they sent money tor the purpose ot getting goods, in order that they may get gooas for nothing. Several years ago, Mr. Vick advertised that all sums under $1.50 cuuld be sent at nis risk, and that persons remitting and failing to get seeds could notily dim of the fact, and he would All the order. In less than three months, he had several thousand alleged losses of less than f I.5U each. U. E. Henmy, Special agent P. O. D. Cleveland, 0., March 15, Isso.

These are intended especially for hives with a loose bottom, but can be used on almost any hire. They are fastened to the bottom board with a couple of screws.

I would say in favor of these, tha't, when roared from choice imported stock, thcv prove about equal for honey gatherer?, to the full blood Italians. UNTESTED or dollar qiteens. The dollar queens are always taken just as they come, and are never culled. Customers often ask us to pick out a large, yellow one /or them. My friend, who would then have the small, dark ones? We can't do it for anjbody, not even the Queeu of England. If you want to pick, it must bfi done from the tested queens. Very small dark ones. when we have them. %, les?; may prove equal to any tor real "business." Two-noLLAR TESTED quf.f.xs. These are queens that produce good three banded workers, but are themselves darker or smaller than the $S.Oi) queens, and mqy be a year old. THREE-DOLLAK OH SELECT TESTED QUEENS. The selected tested are the best qtjeeiis we can pick out, in two apiaries of over oOO colonies.— large, yellow, young, good layero; their bees gentle, finely marked, and good workers. These queens are al- ivays taken from our own or nciijhhor H.'s apiaru. If you pay for one of these, you may take your pick out of the whole apiary. FOUR-nOLiiAH INDIFFEEENT imported queens. It were no more than fair to inform our friends tliat imported rmeens. as a rule, are small and dark. If von want a lar^e yel- low queen, do not order an imported. The "indifferent" imported queens are the dark- est and smallest, and the poorest layers, when we have any such, but are to be good, serviceable queens. Many of them turn out to be equal to the best, when kept a whole season. FIVE-DOLLAR FAIE IMPORTED QUEENS. These are a fair average of those we import from Italy. SIX-DOLLAR OR BEST IMPORTED QUEENS.

ONE-HALF POUITD OF BEES. The Vi lb. of bees, we endeavor to have made up of young Italians: but it is not alwavs possible to do this, at all seasons of the year. Vonng- bees can be used in so many ways, and it is such a verv safe way of sendinsr and introducing queens, that a large trade has now come out of it. If you pur- chase only a half pound of bees with your queen, and turn them loose on one or two of y8 will bulge, U there Is any stretching after they have touched tne bottom bar. To put the sheets in rapidly, you will teed a board cut so as to just tit inside tne frame, ana 'each up as tar as tne comb guide. Lay the sheet on ills, close up to the top bar, andstrotLe it down to the comb guide, as we have directed, if your trame$ are made without a comb guide, you can lasten the sheet to the topbarin che same way, and then give It a quarter turn, so that It will hang straight down. As fast as 'Jie frames are lilled, they should be hung in a hive, to be secure from Injury. If you do not make the above plan work to suit you, yon can fasten the sheets by tacking a strip ot wood about >« b> ^ into the t0|> bar, while the upper cage of the sheet is between them; this strip should be put on in such a way that the idn. hangs straight down imder the center of the top bar. ■ Ab often as the boards get roughened bf uae, dry and sand paper them.

WI2ED FSAUES of foundation. These, as you will see from the cut, cannot sag, and the comb cannot break out, in either extremely hot, or extremely cold weather. The fdn. fills the frame completely, and the diagonal wires make it impossible for either the top or bottom bar to sag, even with the greatest weight of honey which a frame may ever contain. Besides all this,' the whole frame is made s-ery much lighter than any ordinary frame. The wire used is No. 30, tinned. Iron wire, and about 8 feet are required to a frame. The place of the central wire, is taken by a light, stifl" bar of fold- ed tin. To put in the wire, double it in the middle, and start from the bottom of the folded tin strip; carry both ends to the upper outside corners, one to J each; then bring the ends of the wire each over on J the top bar, and down through the first hole; the under the bottom bar, toward the centre, and up through the top bar again; then down through th^ bottom bar, and finish by twisting the ends togethe at the point of starting. The diagonal wires (whio were first suggested by L. W. Betts, Milton, Delj ware), should be drawn tight enough to make bottom bar slightly crowning; when the wire is all spring in the bar of tin, and you are done. t ■ TO put in the fdn. .'I Cut the sheets to just fill the Inside of the fr^6,;j warm them in the sun, or near a stove, lay theia In 10 IMPLEMENTS IN BEE CULTURE.

This is preferred by many to anything else, for covering the frames, before the chaff cushions are put over the bees. I have seldom known the bees to bite through it, and the surface is so smooth and glossy, they put \ery little propolis on it. It' combs are attached to it, it can be peeled from them per- fectly clean. It is also so thiu and light, that, if it is spread over a bee, he can readily crawl out from un- der it without injury.

One important point Is thai all machines, to work to the best advantage, should be so made that the frame may hang in them just as it hangs in the hive, it we except the S. and (}. frames, and all having a length un- der the top bar greater than 14 inches. It may be im- possible for us 10 give all the reasons for this now, but we hope you will lake our word for it, when we say there are very good reasons fir standing a frame on end in the Kxtractor, when the length is much greater than the depth. The loUowing tabic is for the convenience of those ordering macihines, and is inten^ inches (lo) 87 00 No. 6. The same except that it will take a frame of ICX inches in depth (11) 7 50 No. 7. This is made expressly for the Quinby guspended frame, and will take also the other kind when the end bars have a depth not greater than nX inches (la) 8 00 No. 8. This is for all Quinby frames, and al! American frames having a depth greater than 1214 inches, and can be used lor all the frames in our diagram, but i» much more inconvenient than the smaller ones where they can be used (12X) 8 00 No. 9. This machine is like No. 8, except that it takes a frame X inch wider, and is suitable for American frames that are 12>i wide and more thanl2X inches deep (13) 8 00 No. 10. This is the largest machine that we keep in stock, and will take a irame as wide as the Adair, and as long as the Quin- by (14X) 8 00 All the above are to be usedwiih the honey gate open, holding only about 25 lbs. below the revolving frame ; if you desire one with a space for any considerable quantity of honey below the revolving frame, we will furnish it for Ic per lb. additional, for us many lbs. of honey as you wish it to contain. When space for 60 lb. or more is wanted, the revolving frame is supported, on a cone, as in cut. Our extractors are all neatly japanned and lettered. Extractors made with the Everett gearing, $1 more. not say that T would recommend them so. Better have the cheaper shorter machine, and then you can work with the extractor raised (as per directions for using on next page) so as to run the honey into pails or a barrel. Of how much use is a honey gate, whenit rests right on the floor? Ourcnstnigs are made to ttt three different sized cans- viK , 17, 20. and ~';i in.; and we ni«kc the cans also of two different heights. To work nicely, the frame neeila about the same anio\mt of room to hang in the Fxtractor, that it has in the hive; to do this there seems to be no other way than to make every Extractor to fit the hive it is intended for. Ol course you can use them otherwise, but a machine just large enough for your frame, and no larger, is much the easiest to work. DIAGBAM OF PRINCIPAL FRAMES IN USE.

There are few traraes ol such oxtreniPly targe size in use, yet we see them occasionally. Also, we find a few who in.sist on an extractor that will hold 4 frames at once ; unless the trames are very small, we cannot think such will be liked as well, vet we will lurnish them when desired, at an expense of $250 extra.

The first four have nothing ol this kind, lor it is not neeued, and would In reality only make them heavier, and he In the way; we advise purchasers always to take the smaller machines when they will take their frames. For instance, we would much prefer the No. 4. to the "Ho. 10. even if ofleied at the same price, provided we had nothing but the Adair frame in our apiary. Do not ever think ff removnip the inside of an ex- tractor to clean it. From a tea-kettle fvll of boitini) wa- ter, let Jail a stream on every part while you turn it, then pour off and rinse, and the honey will all be re- moved. Although our machines are now made much lighter and stronger, the gearing very much improved in looks as well as In strength, an improvement added whereby once oiling will last a season, a cover and strainer added, and the prices reuuced, yet we will ! make the proposal that we will, to any one who has i purchased one machine, give 10 per cent ofl' on all he may sell after that; and this is all we can do in the way of furnishing them at wholesale. To dealers who advertise our Extractors, we will give S."! per cent ofl retail prices. This offer refers only to Extractors. Any kind of a machine that revolves the honey after it is thrown out of the comb, or that revolves tin cans with the combs, is a most serious blunder, as you will see by trying both kinds. It may be there are valuable features found in the high priced Extractors, not found in our own, but if such is the case, we are unable to appreciate them. We have added every improvement suasrested that we thought would proxe valuable, all things considered. Anyone who has studied the matter will see thai to make a machine capa- ble of receiving four combs instead of two, will require an increase in size and weisiht, without very matfrially aid- ing in rapidity of work, among the masses. Reversing the combs inside the can, making the inside frame three-corn- ered, runninu' the mafhine hv geariner or belts placed un- der the bottom, making the machine so the combs will swing over when ttirncd backward, etc., etc , have all had their advocates, but we think have gen- erally been, after a time, discarded like the revol- ving cans. Our friends can rest assured, that we shall spare no pains in promptly adopting any rctil improvement that may come up. Please do tell the dimensions of the fiame or frames you use, in ordering. IN8TKUCTIONS FOK USING AN EXTK.\CTOK. Many of our new friends have asked for directions or using these machines, but really ihey are so sim- ple, that it seems little advice need be roi|iiiied. They are all ready lor use when received, and the most that is required is to screw them last to some Ijox or bench just high enough to allow the gate to run tlir honey Into the liunc-hole of a barrel. Fasten this box or bench securely to the floor. Do not under- take to work unless llie bees are gaiheiing honey, or you wili be very likely to have irouiile. The best time is when they are busy in the fields, and If the yield is good, you will hardly need any smoke. Care- fully remove a framf from the hive, and then, with a series of sudden jerks, shake the bees in front ol the hive or on top of the frames, as you may lind mosi convenient. When you have shaken ofl' as many a.*- you can, take a bunch of asparagus tops, and gently brush off every lice in front ol the hive. Now with the honey knife, carefully cut the cappings from all capped cells. To do this quickly, you will slide the knife under the caiis in such a way as to have them come ofl in one entire sheet. In regard to straining the honjy, we know of no way that answers so well, all things considered, as to hang the little bag sent with the machine, in the bung of the barrel; thh keeps it all close and tight ircm flies and dust, and wben you stop work for a little while, it is all safe, without the necessity of covering anything up. Two such bags are reall> needed, so that one can be kept clean and ready to take the place ol the other, when It becomes filled with impurities. As the seoimeni al ways settles to the bottom ol the bag, the sidijs WDrk well as a strainer for a long time. (Jloth strains hone.v more perfectly than the flnesi wire cloth lan. VVIien the comb is uncapped li is to be placed in the Extrac- tor; although you can extract one comb at a time 11 you choose, it Is much better to have two, as they then balance each other, and the friction is lesson the bearings, though our machines will stand the strain ol the heaviest combs, one at a time, if need \>e. Turn just fast enough (and no faster) to throw out the hon- ey, and there will be no danger of throwing out the brood; you will soon It am this by practice. Combs so full ol brood that there is but little room for honey had belter be left in the hive ; there is little to be gained by woi king very close, and should the honey season suddenly Close, there Is danger of the bees starving, i\f n e have known them to clo, even In July. On (his account I xvoidd extract from the frames in the upper story only, after the bees get once well into tliem. After the honey is taken fiom one side ol the comb it is, 01 course, to be turned, and the honey taken from the other side. When the combs are very heavy and the honey very thick, it may be best to throw it out only partially "the first time, and then reverse, to avoid crushing the comb into the %^ ire cloth by the great centrilugal lorce resulting from such a weight moving at a >!ieai speed. 11 your hives are kept close to the ground, and no weeds alluwed to grow around the entrances, there Is very liitle danger ol losing queens while extracting, yet it is a very good plan to keep them carefully in "mind, and if you should not tee them, we think it a little safer to shake the combs that contain much brood, so that the bees fall directly into the hive. Losing queens while extracting is rather expensive business. DADANT'3 UNCAPPIITG CAN. This is very convenient indeed when much ex- tracting is done.

The glass moves so easily that it will fall frfim one end to the other, as the feeder is tipped. The operation of feeding is only to go round with your coffee-pot of syrup, and till them up wherever you can see through the glass that t he feeder is empty. Slip the glass back with your finirer, till up, and then close. No syrup goes over the backs of the bees, because the wire cloth lets it through only under their feet.

Perhaps the readiest way of understanding all about these, will be to order a sample frame, which we send by mail with a bit of nibbet and sample transferrinj? cla"p, for 12c. For the convenience of those who do not get the idea at once, we submit the follo\ring diagram. Also see enera^^ng on front cover. r^•^^^r^^ MBTALCOEITER, AND ITS POSITION IN THE HIVB. The engraving is full size. The % board B is supposed to be the end of the hive. A is a section of the metal rab- bet, and C is the comer, raised a little from its place as it rests on the rabbet. The space E, between the frame and the end of the hive, should be about % of an inch, as explained below. F .shows the l)evel and shoulder, shown on front cover, and also under section boxes; this is to prevent wind or rain from getting through, when the hives or covers are piled up two or more stories high. It will be observed that the frame is supported entirely on knife edies crossmg each other at right angles, making it impossible for the bees to wax the frame fast, and al- most impossible for you to pnich a bee in putting the frame down, even if you take no pains at all, to get them out of the way. We prefer to have the tin rabbet reach up above the end of the corner C, because the bees are so much less disposed to try to propolize the bright tin; also when replacing the frames, the corner arms glide smoothly into place as soon as they strike the rabbet. The rabbet may be used without the corners, or the corners may be used without the rabbet, but neither of them alone gives U!. a frame so perfectly movable; and as wood is al- ways givim; more or less, they can not hang perfectly true; neither caji a frame bo slid on the rabbets up to its place as quietly as when all the bearings are of metal. now TO MAKE THE FEAME8. Our frames were first made of strips of straight grained pine, only >»' of an inch in thickness, and it is surprising to see how well such combs have stood. On one occasion, a number of these heavily tilled with honey fell from the top of a barrel, yet not a corner was injured, and not a comb broken ; these were Gallup frames, however, only IHxlli. For the Langstroth frames, we now make the Vjp bar about \0-:V2, and all the rest of the frame 7-.32. Eclair, American, and Gallup frames are all made of 7-32 stuff throuirliout, and also the new wired frames. (See pag'e 8>. The Quinby size may have a f ton bar, but the bottom bars might all be not more than i, were it not that the frames miy be sometimes used for transfer- ring, and that the weight of the combs would sag the bottom bar, wliich is a very bad feature, if we wish to work closely and avoid killing bees. The top bars would not require so much wood, were it not that honey boxes are sometimes j)l;iced on them, and it is advisable to been the safe side. When we depend entirely on the use of the extractor, we would prefer a space of half an inch be- tween the ends of the frames and the end of the hive; but for box honey, small bits of comb will be built in this space, more than will be the case if t only is allowed. It requires a very careful operator to work fast, and avoid pinching bees, when only i or f inch is allowed. The two followiTig cuts may assist some in putting on the metal corners : B Fig!! sxK.y.xxs-.-v^ D/ C every pomt like C* Should you get one done badly, you can with apairof plyers straightenit outand waieitgo right. (When clinching down the points, the frame is to be pusheit Into the iron block made for the pur- pose, or Into a notch cut In a block of hard wood.) The objection has frequently been made that this takes more time than to nail them; even if this were so, we are enal)led to employ girls or other cheap hf lp(we beg pardon, Indies, l)ut we never yet saw aco'nmunity that did not fumisli more or less females, who would be glad to get some such light work) who could not possibly nail good frames; tlien after they are done, their superior strength and li^-htncss compared with nailed frames, fully make up the ditVcreiice in price. We will send you a sam- ple frame by mail, just as we would have it. for 32 cents, (American and Gallup size 10 cts.) including sample of rabbet and transferring clasp, and you can test it by the side of your own frame in your hive. If the nailed ones do not seem awkward after using it, you, of course, need not invest any further.

After much experl- mfntinp, we have now fiillv porfccterl mir Grind Stfno for family use, anrt ofPpr it to the public with a full ouamntee that it is a perfect ranchine: and also that it will please everv one who buys it. So far as we know, it is the first Foot-Power Ma- chine which has been f>il- ly adaptf'fl to the wants of families for household work and of mechanics for (rrindlng- small tools The stone is of the best quality, and runs per- fect'v true. It is 8 inches in diameter, ]'4 inches thick, and made at the Huron Quarries express- ly for this use. *■ The Emery Wheel is the same size as the Stone, and double confed on the side and rim with best Welllns'ton Mills' Kmery. When not in use it is taken off and laid aside. A spontre is fastened in the side of the trougrh to keep the stone from throwing water when running at a hifirh speed. The Machine is run with a clutch, so that there can he no dead centers: but when the foot touches the treadle it stirts off in the riffht direction, and runs at a very hiuh or very low r^ite of speed as de- sired. For ffrlndinsr 0ar\in2- Knives and all liffht tools, and for polishinsr Putlerv this Machine is per- fect. The legs are made to fold up for shippinff, so as to occupy a small space. Woig-ht, 2fi lbs.

These vines are the best to be had, and are j\ist a\ich as we have planted in our new grounds for shading the hives. HAMMERS AND NAILS. Much depends on having a hammer just right for the work that is to be done. I often see people (women especiallv, begging their pardon) try to drive a small, slender nail, into lisrht work, with a verv hea\'j' hammer. The nail do\ibles up, the work splits, their flntrers get pounded, and it is no won- der they conclude in disgust, that carpentry is not their forte. Trying to drive a large nail with a lisrht hammer is not so bad, but it is a great waste of time and strength. Every bee keeper should have at least three sizes of hammers. You can drive a com- mon brass pin its whole length into a pine board, with a hammer of the right weight; but, should you try to do it with either of the first two hammers shown in the e»it, >ou would doul)le it up the first clip. You might do it with No. 3, but it is doubtful. With 4, .5, or 6, you could do it without trouble. In watch work, we fre()uently reipiire hammers weigh- ing scarcely more than a quarter of an oz. No. 2 is my favorite hammer for making bee hives. It cost me, several years ago, f2.00; but I can sell yo\i one just like It now, ad/e eye, fine tempered steel, for just 75 c.; by mail. 95c.* No. 1 is the same thing, except that it has a round face, and will not mar or bruise work, like No. 2; price is the same. No. 3 is the same as No. two, only about Vi as heavy. It Is extremely handy about the apiary, for making chaff hives, nailing frames and seotion boxes, etc., etc. The strong steel claw makes it much more desirable than any of the cheaper tack hammers.

No. 4 is a very pretty Tack Hammer that can never come loose in the handle, for handle and hammer are all one piece of malleable iron, with a piece of walnut inlaid, as shown in the out. This is a beauti- ful and handy hammer, price 2.'ic; by mail,;i3c. No. 5 is a Magnetic Tack Hammer. As the head of the tack sticks to the face of the hammer when you bring them near each other, it is a most handy tool for making smokers and (jueen cages, tacking wire- cloth, cards, or paper on to anything. Price 10c: by mail 15c. The same with a very neat iron handle, 1.5c; by mail, 23c. This is a new and most haautifiu tool. No. 6 is a small cheap Tack Hammer, all iron. It is a nice plaj'thing for the children, beautiful for cracking nuts, etc., as well as answering excellently for nailing sections, cages., etc. Price 5c; by mail, lie. Finished in Copper Bronze or Black Japan. A FULL-SIZED HAMMER FOR ONLY 20c. There is one hammer I have not pictured In the list. It is very nuich like No. 2, and has an adze eye. It is a good looking hammer, with a secure hickory handle, but it is (mly malleable iron. For all this, it will do a great aniount of service. You can keep one of these for the women and children, (begging their pardon) so they will not be borrowing yours, and if it is lost, it will be no great damage. Did your folks, any of you, ever hunt for "the hammer," my friend? How much time did you waste? and did you get cross any? Postage on this hammer, 21 c. The same a little smaller, for 15 cts. By mail 17c. extra. See couuter store, for wholesale price on hammers. NAILS AND TACKS USED IN THE APIARY. When the women folks or boys choose a hammer unsuitable for their work, they are to a certain ex- tent excusable, for perhaps they had but one to choose from, and such may be the case with nails, but it is generally possible to have at least a little chance for choice in the nails we use. Now as it is rather a fine point to choose exactly the best nail for the purpose, I have gone to a little pains to col- lect the nails and tacks used in our establishment, wbicb I bare figured In tbe cut. 18S8 IMPLEMENTS IN BEE CULTURE. 17 For the benefit of the aforesaid women and chil- dren (begging their pardon still again), I would re- mark that nearly, if not quite, all of the nails men- tioned heretofore must be placed right when they are driven, or they will split the wood. If you look at a common nail, you will see that, if set one way, it acts like a wedge, and is sure to split the wood. If set the other way, the wide part goes into the wood first, and the nail gets narrower, the deep- er it goes. THE NEW WIRE NATLS. Now there is a new kind of nails made of wire, that may be driven any way; and, for light work these seem to be a great improvement over the old kinds. When a nail of the old kind gets drawn out a little, or "loose," as we call it, it comes out very easily, but these wire nails, being all of a size, hold their whole length. In the cut, I have shown 6 sizes. They are tougher and stronger, for the amount of metal contained in them, than the old kind, and therefore even though they do cost more by the lb., there are so many more in a lb. that, in reality, they are cheaper. They are used for making all kinds of honey boxes, broad frames, nailing on separators (they will drive through the tin without ha\ing holes pre-\-iously made) and are just the thing for a great variety of purposes in the apiary. The following sizes I have selected as being most especially what the bee-keeper will need for Hives, Frames, Sections, etc. I have had them made of rather smaller wire than those usually found in the market, and for this reason you will not generally find these sizes in the market. As we buy in large lots, we can furnish you, in 100 B). lots, lower than you would be likely to get them directly from the Factory. PRICE LIST OF WIRE NAILS. — Price. . THE NAILS WB USE IN MAKING HIVES, FRAMES, SEC- TIONS, ETC. The cut represents the full size of all the nails we use in the various departments of our factory: and. to accommodate you, I have decided to keep in stock a quantity sufficient to meet your demands. Even if you do not order them of me, it may be of service to you to know just what sized nails I have found, after large experience, to be best suited to each part of our work, and what they ought to cost. No. 1 (8d. common) is the largest nail we find any use for, and it is used only in the packing room, in boxing and crating our heaviest articles for ship- ment.

Nos. 15, 16, 17, and 18 are linned tacks and nails, and are especially valuable for out door work as they never rust.

My friends, 1 have shown yuu the Chaif and Sim- plicity hives, and 1 have given you a table of prices lor them, from oue all the way up to a hundred. What 1 have called a hive is a body and cover, with- out any inside furniture. 1 have tixed the prices thus that you might make up just such a hive as you wish; for all the dittereni parts are interchange- able, i'ou know- what ditterent opinions people have, especially bee-keepers; well, the Simplicity hive will allow you to have just as large a hive as you Uke, or just as small a one as you like, for every hive his exactly on every other, and every cover may be used as a bottom board, and vice versa.

The disadvantages are that it is too shallow for wintering without an upper story, or for a tier of surplus bo.xes, it gives little or no chance for venti- lation, it cannot be raised with one hand easily, etc., etc. As one cover cai.noi well please everybody, and combine all these advantages, we furnish the oue shown above, at the same price. It covers a single tier of boxes, or a good sized chaff cushion fur wintering, and can easily be raised with one hand by the ridge board, because, except this ridge boHrd. it is all intidf' of v, ineb stuff.

By adding 20c, you can have all metal cornered frames; by adding Uc, you can have separators between all the sections; and, if you wish side-storing boxes, hang frames of sections in the lower story, at each outside, etc. All of these addititms will make ex- actly $2.44 for the IH story hive, rigged complete exclusively for C4tmb honey. By adding a single Sim- plicity body (35 c), you can make it into a two-story hive. We have made two styles of crates to hold sections under this half story cover. The one shown beside the hive costs 80c. complete,* but the one shown below, to which we give the preference, costs but 55, and has glass on the sides, to show when the sections are filled, by simply raising the cover. If you send the whole crate to market, you can get along very well without separators, for every comb can be sent just as the bees build it. If the central sections are capped first, separate them in the mid- dle, and swing them around, so that the finished ones will come next the glass. As the honey is stored more rapidly without the separators, the crate is much used in that way; but the sections are not as handsome, and often must be sold for a less price.

This is simply a hive made :>f tin, with double walls ; the space between the, two walls which may be from i to 1 inch, is tilled with water, and this water is kept at an even temper;vtnre of about 9u°, by a lamp under the hive. The lamp is to be enclosed in a box to avoid dnifts, and the whole should be m a close room, to save the exiicnse of oil. The tin hive is to be placed a foot or more above the"top of tue lamp chimney. When the oil is purchased by the barrel, the expense is but little more than one cent per day. Get your queen cells on the pi'in ttiven in ABC, and wben capped over, they may be taken away from the bees entirely, and the frame containing them liunK in the nurs.ery. If you have followed the insiructions fiiven, the queens will all hatch out loni; nefore the workers, and all you have to do is to place them in any queenless hive or nucleus, as soon as they are hatched. You need not open the hive to introduce them, but you can just let thera crawl in at the entrance, and the loss will certainly be no (treater than that of inserting queen c^lls. You chii, if you choose, have several combs containint; queen cells m the nursorj at the same time, and when we can have queens hatching every day for weeks, we really enjoy the fun. It is easy keeping a supply of cells on hand, when we once get started, and we do nut examine our nursery of- tener than about live times a day. It will be oL'served that, with the lamp nursery, we have no cuttuig, or mutilating of our nice combs, as we do where we cutout queen cells. When the queens are old enough to begin to guaw outi they can aasily be heard by holding the comb of cells next to the ear, and as they are ready to introduce as soon as they bcijiii to cut out the cajis, they may be safely taken out with a sharp pen knife, and put at once where wanted. They sometimes kill each other when crawling about in the nursery, but not often unless there are bees present. We have found a half dozen or more crawling about peaceably together on first going out in the morning, but they would t>e certain to kill each other, .: left until a few hours older. Price of inirsery. with lamp larire enotigh to burn several days, including ther- mometer, .<5.00. While queens just hatched can be safely introduc- ed to artificial swarms just made, or to nuclei, a great many failures have been reported when they are let in where a laying queen has been just re- moved from a full hive. I give you this word of caution to prevent disappointment. It will be of no use to attempt introducing these queens by caging. Cover the nursery when in use with a quilt or folded blanket. MAT FOR. COVSRING FRAMES. 1 am sorry to say, that even the enameled cloth is, in time, eaten through by the bees, and it seems that nt^thing is going to hold them permanently but wooden boards. The boards, however, need not be very thick, or very wide. Our wooden mat, while it can not shrink ao as to let the bees out at the ends or sides, can be rolled back, folded smaller, and adapted to the varying sizes of the hive with a di- vision board, even better than any cloth. The strips are of basswood. and are 1-ltJ by i4 inch. They are woven in a loom, with hard hemp twine. Price 5 c. ; by mail, l:ic; odd sizes, luceach. 1 do not like them, all things considered, as well as enameled sheets; but we sell a great many of them,— on account of their cheapness 1 presume.

It will welprb them as fast as we can readily set the weijrhts down with a book and penclL Above, we give a cut of the Sflme. The scale can not be injured by an overstrain, be- cause the platform strikes the casting's after it has been loaded down to the 150 lbs. or thereabouts T have mentioned. The smallest divisions on the dial are M lbs.: but with practice we can g-et at 2 oz. pretty accurately, so it will answer for all practical purposes in weighing honey. As the whole machine is only 33 lbs. In weight, it can be readily lifted by its convenient handles from floor to counter, and Dice versa, as occasion may require. Who has not felt what a nuisance It is, to be oblig- ed to weigh the plate, pail, or dish, in which honey is wanted, and then to subtract this weig^ht from the gross weight of the whole, without making mis- takes. Many times, j forget to weigh the dish a neighbor has banded me: at other times, unless I put it down with a pencil. I forget how much the plate weighed : and then, most humiliating of all. I have to confess I make mistakes in subtracting. More than this, there seems to be a kind of fatality in my mistakes, tor they are almost always — so it seems — In my favor; and then my friends have some reason for thinking that I made them on pur- pose. Very well; now suppose a customer brings a pitcher for some honey. Set it on the scale, and the pointer sinks, until it tells the weight of it. Pay no attention to this, but turn the screw until the pointer again stands at 0; now you are ready to let your honey run in until the pointer tells the number of pounds he asked for. THK FAVOEITE F.\M1LY SCALE. This is a beautifully hnished, accurate instrument for weighing honey, or any thitig else; and it will weigh as close as a half-oinico without any trouble. The screw for adjusting the tare is right under the platform. Two sizes are furnished, weighing re- spectively 12 and 24 lbs.

SEEDS OF HOITET PLANTS. A brisk demand has sprung up for these, and whether or not they really pay, for honey alone. Is a question upon which I am not yet fully satisfied. I have no doubt but that buckwheat, rape and alsike clover, sometimes yield honey enough to pay all expenses of cultivation, aside from seed, hay, etc.; but T very much doubt whether any one ever got enough from mignonnette, motherwort, catnip, etc., to pay for the labor of raising the crop. Notwith- standing all this. I believe in raising honey plants just for the fun of seeing the bees work on them, if nothing else. I have for years had dreams of a honey farm, with acres of tlowers of different colors, blooming at different seasons, and keeping the bees away from the stores and groceries when we have a dry spell in the fall. The dream has been partially re- alized with the Simpson honey-plant, Mollie O. Large's spider plant, and the seven-top turnip, and I am pretty well satisfied it will pay to cultivate these ifor honey alone. Mignonnette, catnip, moth- erwort, borage, mellilot, and some others, I have tested, but am still doubtful in regard to them. LIST OF HONEY PLANTS. We purchase, all, or nearly all the seeds mentiojied here. Mail us sample, of wha' you have, or wish to furnish, and tell us how ihw you will sell it. Alsike Clover,— Can be sown almost any time, but perhaps gives best results for seed, when sown in April or May. About 4 lbs. are required per acre, and it does not blossom much, until the sec- ond year. Its treatment and cultivation are much the same as for common red clover, but the seed is saved from the first crop. Fresh seed raised near uSj so that we know it is free from dangerous seeds, price per lb. 30 c; per peck, $4.25; per half bushel, $8.00; per bushel, of 60 lbs., $15.00. If wanted by mail, add 18c per lb. for bag and postage. Borage.— A strong, hardy, rapidly growing plant, bearing a profusion of blue flowers. It may be sown any time, but will, perhaps, succeed best, at about corn planting time. As it grows tall, and branches out considerably, it should have plenty of room. I know that bees are very busy on it, all the day long, from July until Nov., but I do not know how much honey an acre of it would furnish. It is easily tried, because it grows so readily, and if sowed on the ground after early potatoes are dug, you will get a nice crop of fall bloom. Sow broad cast, or in hills like corn. Price 10c. per oz..or $1.25 per pound. If wanted by mail, add 18c. per lb. for bag and postage. Buckwheat.— 1 think we shall have to regard this as a safe investment generally, for arti- ficial pasturage, although, in many localities, it jaelds honey only occasionally. About 3 pecks per acre are usually sown, and it may be sown in April, May, June, July, or even August, but in the latter month, it would usually furnisn only blossoms for the bees, and no seed.* If vou want much honey, you must have good soil. We can furnish the com- mon kind for $'..50 per bushel. 40c per peck, or 4c per lb.; the Silver Hull or Gray f< r $1.75 p^r bushel. 50o per peck, or 5c per lb. If wanted by mail, add IHc per Ih. for bHg and postage. The two last usually yield the most honey and the most grain. Catnip.— This has been very much talked about, and we have record of some experiments with an acre or more, but if I am correct, no one has ever yet seen a barrel of catnip honey. Still, some one may raise catnip honey by the barrel, and make money at it. If you wisn to trj', we can furnish you good seed, that we have tested ourselves, for 10c per oz., or $1.00 per lb. ; 18c per lb. extra, if wanted by mail. Sow in the fall. Cloat;r.— The best honey in the world, all things considered, is, without doubt, that obtained from white clover. White Dutch clover is said to be a lit- tle larger than the common white, and, as it is pret- ty difficult to save the seed from th ^ common, near- ly, if not all. the seed in the market is White Dutch. Price per lb., 30 c; per peck, $4.25; per half-bushel, $8.00; per bushel of 60 lb., $15.00. If wanted by mail, add 18 c. per lb. for bac and postage. Sweet Clover (MelUotus alha or Afeltlot).— This has some valuable traits, as standing frost and drouth, but many times and seasons, the bees will hardly notice it at all. The statement has been made that an acre will support 20 colonies of bees. •On the IHh of Aujr. 1882. we sowed four acres of Gray buck- wheat, and got 92 bugneU of nice grain In sixty-five days. We offer seed from tbls crop, price aaxuo as SilreihuU. 1888 IMPLEMENTS IN BEE CULTUKE. anfl nffor'i from KOO to lonn lb. of honey. Such stRte- mf>nr«. fllthniiffh thpv mnv hp honeotlv srlven.

SMOKERS. "Which is the best?" keeps coming from all quar- ters. Candidly, I do not know. 1 do not know which is tlie best bee hive, or which is the best bee journal, or bee book, and I do not know how I should know which is the best smoker. I can very easily tell you which smoker / like best, but it does not follow, by any means, that everybody else will think as I do, and were I to declare broadly that my things are better than any body's else, I am really afraid I should not sleep well nights. For the past few years, we have sold two styles of smokers, of our own make, and the sales of them have amounted to many thousands. These two were invented almost simultaneously, one b.v John G.Corey. Santa Paula, California, and the other, by Norman Clark, Stirling, Illinois, each inventor being ignorant of what the other was doing. Both gave their inventions to the bee- keepers of our country. The sliding door for put- ting the fuel in is an invention that enables us to light the smoker almost instantly, with a match, which is quite an improvement over those necessitating a coal of lire. The strip of saad paper, 28 IMPLEMENTS IN BEE CULTURE. Oct. tflued to the bellows, on which to light the match. Is the suggestion of Mr. S. H. Hough, of Rootstown, Ohio. At present I believe the Clark smoker has the preference. It may be made a direct draft in- stantly when starting the fire by simply placing fin- ger over the nozzle. During 1882 we sold over :j,000, aud in 1883, over ten thuusand.

Perhaps the nicest thing we have tried is very dry, rotten elm wood. This lights instantly with a match, and gives a dense cloud of smoke. It burns out rather rapidly, but not nearly as fast in the cold blast smokers as in those where the blast is directly on the fuel. Cotton rags are excellent, but more ex- pens. ve than the rotten wood. Peat is perhaps the best 1 hing where it can be obtained in plenty. Corn cobs ' hopped up, and dried in an oven, make much smoke, and are perhaps more lasting than anything SLATE TABLETS. Even if you do use the queen cards, these are so handy, I would have one hung on a tinned nail driven into each hive. Where anything unusual happens, it can easily be noted; as, for example, th<' case I have given below.

I have named the sugars in order of their value, so far as I can judge, gixing the best first. As to which will give most value for a dollar, I can not say posi- tively, but am inclined to think the graiuilated the safest, all things considered. All are fit for and in common use, for table and cooking pur- poses. Of course, the best will probably be safest for feeding up for winter. CLARK'S COLD BLAST SMOKER. else.

For a Christmas or New-Year's present, it is the prettiest and most useful article for a boy, man, or even for a lady, who teaches, or for any one who needs a timepiece (as they are rather small in size), of any thing that can well be imagined. The cases are nickel, and wear with a luster, when carried in the pocket, surpassing even silver. The whole is put up in a very pretty box, with a book of instruction in the care of it, and every time I look at one, I can only wonder that they can be furnished for any such sum of money. We shall have every one carefully regulated and tested be- fore sending them out, and every one that does not please you may be sent back any time within 30 days, you paying all postage. By buying so many, I furnish them, by the dozen, for f3;J.50, by express. Not less than a whole dozen will be sold at this price; but, for accommodation, 1 will sell two watches for $i5.75; three for $9.75, or five for $15.00. Alter you have purchased one watch at $3.50. for a sam- ple, you may have the other 11, for $30.00. A watch' will be sent as a premium for 10 new subscribers to Gleanings in Bee Cultuue, at $1.00 each, or a watch and Gleanings for $4.00. Until the stock is exhausted, we will send a watch, series " A," for yicc )icw liiitiscrihera. iST On first winding the watch, it may need a little shaking (or twirling rather) to start the balance. Wat;;hes can not be sent to Canada by mail, on account ol duty. If you break a gl.ass in a Waterbuiy watch, mail us the i-iiH. with" 20 c. in stamps, and we will send j-ou a new one.
