Dowagiac, Michigan, November 20, 1878. In regard to your bees, if you were my enemy, and I had anything to say about your stock, I should say the truth, that I count yours worth more than twice that or any of the numerous strains that I have tested. They converted me to yellow bees,, notwithstanding that they are not near as yellow as those I had formerly. I advise you not to buy, or take as a gift, any other blood; but just stand right where you are, and perfect the strain by carefully breeding out any imperfections that may show themselves, and breeding in all the good qualities your bees now possess. I shall do the same, purchasing of none but you. I have hybrids crossed by your stock, that are quiet, good-natured, and splendid comb-builders and storers. Yours truly. JAMES HEDDON. _Extractors, Smokers, Bee Veils,_ and everything needed in the apiary, supplied at the lowest living rates.

OATMAN & SONS, Dundee, Ill.= =THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST!= COFFINBERRY'S =EXCELSIOR HONEY EXTRACTOR!= From Eight to Fourteen Dollars. Having made several improvements in the EXCELSIOR EXTRACTOR for 1879, it is now offered to the Bee-Keepers of America as the MOST PERFECT MACHINE IN THE MARKET. The universal favor with which the EXCELSIOR EXTRACTOR was received in 1878, has induced other manufacturers to adopt several of its improvements. My experience and experiments of last season, with the assistance and suggestions of skillful workmen, have enabled me to perfect an Extractor that =cannot be excelled, and can only be equaled by being closely imitated=. The Excelsior is made entirely of metal, and is consequently very light, strong and durable, with lugs at the bottom for firmly attaching to the floor if desired.
