Fig. 4.—Two Dry Cells abe Sufficient With This Wire Imbedding Device It consists of a rheostat for regulating the current, connecting wires and a form on which the foundation and wired frame is held. By means of small protruding tacks in the side bars to which the ends of foundation wires are attached the current is ap- plied to the four wires at one opera- A New Hive Cart Many of our readers, especially among the ladies find it difficult to handle the heavy sup;rs when the apiaries are run for extracted hon- ey. With a power-driven extractor the work of honey production is not too laborious for anyone if the supers could be carried in by machinery. Mr. Frank C. Pellett has a hive cart in use in his apiary which is higher than the top of the second story of the hive. The past summer most of his co'onies were four and five stor- ies high, all full depth Langstroth supers. With the cart shown in the photo it is not a heavy lift to slip the supers onto the cart when ready for removal or for the purpose of examin- ation. If it is necessary to set to the bottom of such a hive when it is. FIG. 3.—WHERE CURRENT IS WIRES TO BE AVAILABLE A RHEOSTAT ENABLES ALL FOUR ElVIBEDDED ATJ:0NE;:0PERAT10N.
