A thick separator cut into strips of '4 or)4 inch makes good slats provided they are '4 inch longer than the inside measurement of the frames used so that they may be slipped into the notches in the end bars. They should be }4 inch wide if a nursery as il- lustrated in last August Review is to be used, otherwise a very narrow strip will TANK FOR DIPPING QUEEN-CELLS'. The dipping tank is 18 inches long, 2 inches wide, and i>^ inches deep; having a flange 3 inches wide, extending from end to end, on each side. These flanges are curved downward to a level with the bottom of the tank, then bent out at right angles and tacked to a table-top made of two 2 x 18-inch '.^oards placed 3 inches apart; thus suspending the tank over the opening thus formed. This ar- rangment of flanges, or shields, at the sides conducts the heat out at the ends, and gives a more even temperature at the sides as well as at the bottom of the tank. The table is 19 inches high, which holds the tank exactly X i^^h above the tops of *No. I, end of dipping-tank; Nos. 2 and 3, tlmnib- screws for holding in place the ganges that sup- port the dipping stick. These ganges ought to have been shown as slanting from their points clear back to the thiunb-screws, instead of only part way. The lamp, also, ought to have been shown p'ushed farther back and under the cen- ter of the dipping tank. the chimneys of the two lamps that are placed on the floor. More satisfactory results can be obtained when two lainps are used. The temperature is regulated by turn- ing the lamp wicks up or down. The gauges are of hoop iron; 7 inches long; 14 inches apart; 2J4'inches above the table; and attached to right side of uprights by thumb screws passing through holes 4)4 inches from the pointed ends that extend iX inches over the dipping tank. The gauges can be raised or lowered at the points to adjust them to the quant
