Steam-Press Wa.\-Extraetors.—A late number of Gleanings in Bee-Culture occupies several pages discussing wax-extractors. It seems that for several years in Germany and France, and more recently in this country, wax-extractors have been in use by which the wax is pressed out by a screw-press, the press all the while being kept within steam, so that there is no danger of the wax chilling as when taken from a heated place and put in a press in a lower temperature. Some object that these steam-press extractors are on too small a scale for rapid work. Gerst\iiig. a German editor, has invented a press to work in hot water, which he claims is better than in steam. It is possible that the solar extractor may have to take a back seat for something that will do more thorough work in getting the wax out of old combs. Foul Brood in Michigan.—Geo. E.
