For tlie convenience of bee-keepers who visit this office (and they are not a few) we have induced Messrs. Barnes to send us one of their combined saws. Those who call here will hereafter be able to " investigate" it to their hearts' con- tent. The following cut will give a good idea of the combined circular and scroll saw, as it stands in our office; the price of which is $40. This includes one rip and one cross- cut saw, 6 inches in diameter, and 12 assort- ed scroll-saw blades. Its weight is 160 It is a beauty and works like a charm. Each machine is perfect, neither is subor- dinate to the other, though combined in one; doubling its value without detriment to its power or working qualities. The six-inch diameter saws reach 2X inches above the table. They can be used on the mandrels, set wabbling, to cut any desired width of groove. The cut-off saw gauge is set by a thumb nut and radial slot to cut any desired angle, for frames, etc. The gauges can be removed instantly from the table and are always in perfect condition for their different pur- poses. Emery wheels can be used readily on the mandrels whenever desired. For making hives and boxes there can be nothing more convenient than Barney' foot- power Saws. Any person who has one could not be induced to dispose of it. It will cut through one inch pine boards at the rate of 8 feet per minute, line measure, and will cut either thicker or thinner lumber. The table is 28x28 inches, and stands 35 inches from the floor. Steam power can be used on these ma- chines at an extra cost of $10 for counter shaft and belt pulley. From several letters from bee-keepers, etc., who have this saw, we glean the fol- lowing: San Buenaventura, Cal., Dec. 29, 1876.— "With my one-horse Barnes' Saw I am just shelling out the bee-hive ; K. Wilkin. Brumfield Station, Ky., April 9, 1877.—"I am well plea
