The mandrel used for these saw-tables isour one, generally; but for a greatdeal of work I would advise the heavier one,costing about $, Tlie parallel-bar gauge does very well forhome-made work; but there is nothingequal for general ripping purposes, to War-ners ripping-gauge. This was devised bythe superintendent of our hive-factory, andthey are used all through our wood-workuigdepartment. The gauge is held at the right distancefrom the saw by means of a pair of screws,on the end of which ara sprocket-wheelsconnected by a chain. Simply pulling thechain moves each screw at the same speed ;and as the gauge is fastened to the s:rewsby means of Wnvaded lugs, it will travelparallel to the saw. The great feature* ofthis is, that it holds the gauge perfectlysolid, and at the same time permits of a AVhere the bee-keeper has but little to doin the way of hive-making he may cut boardson the same table that he uses for in order to work this way, he must.

When I used to make nil my own hiveswith a single saw-table, and uiy saws wererun by a windmill, as some of you may re-member, I used to have the further end of theboard slide on a smooth rest made of a pieceof hnrd wood. With this I could take a 16-foot board, and, without any assistance, cutit up into pieces long enough for hives orcovers, and have them so exact that, whenpileii up. no diffeience in the length could betold b> passing the fingers over the , while 1 could do this day after day,andieal
