By arrangement eight ombs may be extracted instead of four t one operation, thus saving in labor. he extractor could even be so arrang- d as to take three combs for each ocket in the same manner, thus in- reasing its capacity ; The iventor is preparing to have this ex- ?actor patented in all countries. It is que-stion with the writer of this ifhether such an extractor would be etter than a reversible four-frame owan. He would consider the sep- rate turning of the combs a great dis- dvantage.
