A VALUABLE INvENTION.-Among the
many valuable inventions of the nine
teenth century, we may be permitted to
notice Sanders patent Bee Hive, which
is far superior to any hive yet introduced
Mr.. Sanders has already received hun
dreds of certificates from gentlemen who
have tested the hive, aud every man
who has tried it testifes to its merits
The hive is superior one because: First,
il can be constructed on the changea BILE
principle, so that BIZ taking out full
drawer and placing an empty drawer IN
its stead the combs are always kept
new, whereby the size of the bee Is pre-
served and kept in more healthy and
prosperous state or condition than when
obliged to remain and continue to breed
in the old combs when the cells have
become small Secondly, because small
or late swarms may be easily united
Thirdly, because however late swarm
may come it may easily be supplled WIN
honey for the winter by taking from
full hive a surplus drawer and placing it
in the hive of the late swarm Fourthly,
because a column of air between the
drawers and the outside OF the hive is a
non-conductOr of both heat and cold,
preventing the melting of the combs and
securing the bees against frost or cold.
Mr. +. A. Sanders, proprietor of the
hive, of Wellsburg Brooke county, will
be at the M'Lure House for few days,
where he will hold himself i'll readiness
to exhibit ii model of the hive, and to
dispose of the right to sell the hive in
any county in this State or the United
States.
