The ABC of bee culture: a cyclopaedia of every thing pertaining to the care of the honey-bee; bees, honey, hives, implements, honey-plants, etc., facts gleaned from the experience of thousands of bee keepers all over our land, and afterward verified by practical work in our own apiary . FRAMES FOR CUTTING SHEETS FOR BROOD-FRAMES. Figure 1 is for cutting sheets 12 by 18, andfigure 2 for the L. frame, 8 by 16i in. Forthe wired frames shown on page 05, thesheets are to be cut 8|xl7i.

Fig. 3 is composed of seven i-inch strips,II inches wide, by about 20 inches spaces are just wide enough to allowthe knife to run between them. Fig. 4 iscomposed of the same number of boards,but they are 3| wide, by about 16 long. Youwill observe that this allows one frame to beplaced over the other, each fitting in be-tween the cleats of the other. To use themachine, place a sheet (or sheets) of fdn.,say 12 by 18, on Fig. 3, and lay Fig. 4 overit. Run the knife through all the spaces,and then turn the whole machine over. Nowrun it through as before, and your sheet iscut into oblong pieces, just such as we put COMB FUUXDATIOX (j!» COMB FOUNDATIOX. in the 4i section boxes when we ship themin hives complete. We should, perhaps, nsepieces somewhat larger, were it not thatthere would be greater danger of theirbreaking ont with the rough handling theyget when the hives are sent bj frei
