. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. - 1 2. 3 ' Fig. 1.—Body of Extractor. &c., which go to make up the extractor are enumerated on page 387, and measurements given in separate columns. I studied these figures carefully, and with a slight alteration completed the extractor I now use. No. 1, which forms the side of extractor, I make 36 in. long and 10 in. deep at its widest part, sloping down in front to 6 in., similar to a cucumber frame as seen in fig. 1. Mr. Doolittle's No. 121 find is not so handy, consequently I have adapted a zinc melting pan (fig. 2). This is. Fig 2.—Melting Pan. 2 in. deep on three sides, with a wire stifi'ener running round to the rounded corners in front, as shown; it is 10 in. wide and 14 in. long. When using it must be placed on the wooden " bed " seen inside the extractor. This " bed " raises the melting pan 5 in. nearer the glass lid, and slopes with the sides, bradded back and front together ; but it is not a fixture. Having placed the " bed " and " pan " and adjusted the extractor due south at 12 o'clock I fill up the pan with comb which will run quite clear into the zinc or tin dish, 11 in. long and 5 in. wide at top, similar to a cake-tin. I do not prop up my extractor at the back, as the heat rose to 140°Fahr. and use no wire cloth. Place any loose pieces of comb at the small end of the extractor to soften for filling up the pan as needed, remove the debris while still warm. If the heat is exhausted, put on the cover, until Sol reappears, and follow instructions in the The box (fig. 1) need not necessarily be 3 ft. long; 2 ft. might be sufficient, but I am.
