The frames are then h'fted out and turned in the basket until the second side is emptied like the first. In placing the frames in the baskets care should be taken that the bottom bar shall be goivg foremost when the basket is set revolving, as the honey cells are generally built by the bees with a greater or less slant upwards, and they are more easily emptied by the centrifugal force when the mouth of the cell is turned away from the direction of motion. As there is a considerable strain on the machine when two heavy combs are made to revolve at a high speed, both the.

If it be desired to extract from only one comb upon any occasion, a piece of board or some such counterpoise should be placed in the opposite side of the basket. To make the extractor firm and steady, and to raise it a sufficient height off" the floor (if it should be so placed) so that a vessel can be put under the tap to draw off the honey, it should be encased in a framework of wood placed upon feet, as shown in the above figure engraved from a photograph. No regular apiary should be without one of these machines, unless a still larger and more expeditious one (described further.
