Well, this iilank, as it were, composed of the 101 strips, is to be placed on the saw-ta- ble, and sawed into bolts or bundles, 4i in. long, one of the clamps coming near the center of each. These are now to be run over the gang of grooving - saws, and they are finished. tin separators between tliem, will just make 14 inclies. The Simplicity hive is 14i inches inside, and we shall therefore have the i inch to wedge up the frames of sections. When they are to be removed, take out the two wedg- es and the first frame can be lifted out easily. (See p. 129). Tlie tops and bottoms of the sections arc i inch less than the ni'NDLE OF PIECES FOR SECTION BOXES, AS THEY LEAVE THE SAWS. These bundles each contain 101 pieces. I would insist on this exact number, to save mistakes that will creep in, if you have any odd number ; for the figuring with fraction- al parts of a hundred necessary to put up an order, may amount to more than the goods are worth, and even then, expensive mistakes will liappen. One season, a bee- keeper away in Iowa informed us. just about swarming - time, that liis box of 1000 sections was lacking either sides or tops, and it cost us several dollars to make tlie matter straight, express and all. Jvow if we always have 101 in a bundle—the odd one is to be sure to make good count—and then make our packing - boxes so that 20 bundles will just fill them,our shipping clerk cannot well make a wrong count. They are put up ready to ship, in boxes of .'00 each. But, lie may give us too many tops, and not enough bot- toms. That is true, and it reminds me that the pieces for the tops are to lia\ e a thin saw- cut exactly in the center, the whole lengtli. before they are screwed up in the bundles. Well, now, to fix it so lie can wil make a mis- take, we will put ill each of the bundles of narrow p
