. The American bee keeper. Bee culture; Honey. 189S. THE A3IERICAN BEE-KEEPER. Ifif) possible consistent with its going into the extractor, having the inside so ac- curately made that a given number of sections will fit into it rather tightly, the last one in, when properly made, keying the whole, as it were, so they can be handled as one frame, which simplifies the work very much. Where the combs are not attached to the sides and bottoms of the sections, as many of them are liable not to be, owing to the sections being only partly filled, it is best to turn slowly, until a part of the honey is gone out, when they should be reversed in the extractor, the other side gotten out clean, when they are reversed again and the honey from the first side thrown out clean also. This saves injuring the combs which are only slightly attached to the sec- tions, and where from twelve to twen- ty sections can be placed in one holder. This extra reversing takes but little more time, when perhaps time hangs heavily on one who has been busy all summer. At any rate, I would rather spend my time in that way than in many of the doubtful amusements many enter into to "kill time," as they put it. Then, if these slightly attached sections are sorted out and put through the extractor by themselves, there need be but a few holders full of them to re- verse in this way. I have been thus particular in giv- ing the details in this matter of ex- tracting honey in cool weather, so that none who wish to so extract need make a failure, for it is the knowing about the little details of a matter which often makes all the difference between a success or a failure. Borodino, N. Y. John Atkinson, in American Bee Journal, appeals pleadingly to the sup- ply manufacturers for a thumb-tack, upon the heads of which he wants plain numerals, letters and abbreviated words that will serve as a record when stuck into hives, frames, Northern Michigan.
