DADANT. In running an apiary for extracted honey, there is but little outlay of expense, and that is one reason why it may be produced much cheaper than comb honey. Yet, to succeed be inverted without raising them out, the work proceeds faster. We use a 4-frame extractor, the basket of which is 13 inches wide, so that two half-frames 6 inches deep can be placed side by side on each face of the basket. This gives us room for 8 half-depth frames. The capping-can is also, to us, an indispensable imple- ment. Nothing can well take its place, for the cappings, the pieces of broken combs, must be placed at once where the honey may readily drain out of them, and nothing answers the purpose but the capping-can. This is one of the very few original useful articles to which we lay claim as inventors— 710 patent, however. The capping-can is composed of two cans fitting into each other, the upper one having a wire-cloth. "Rose Hill Apiary," at Belleville, III., Mr. E. T. Flanarjan, Proprietor.—See page -164. well, a few implements are necessary. First, an extractor of good quality is needed. We have generally been using the Excelsior, but any good make is satisfactory. We would, however, recommend a 4-frame extractor with stationary basket in preference to a reversible basket. The -A-frame extractor does not occupy any more room than the 2-frame re- versible, and if the cage is so arranged that the frames may bottom, so that the honey drains out of it into the lower reser- voir. In a good season, it is well to have also two or three, or even four, strong tin pans made large enough to receive the supers. These pans are only l}i inches deep, and are in- tended to catch the drippings, if there is any, that may fall from the combs of honey while they are taken out and h
