It is a mathematical fact that a sphere cod- tains the greatest solid contents in relation to its surface, of any solid; that a sphere having 100 square inches of surface will have a greater number of cubic inches contained in it than any other solid having the same area. But we can not have a spherical section, for various reasons. The nearest approach to it that we could use would be one in the form of a cube. This is hardly desirable because it would be almost too small to put founda- tion into, and would look small when filled. However, we can use the4>4x4i4 plain sec- tion, which is the nearest approach to it. Let some scientist tigure out for us how much more comb or wax it takes to fill a 4x5 than a square section, then let him multiply this by 10 to 2,5, which I think is the number of pounds of honey commonly claimed to produce a pound of wax. Again, let him multiply by 15 cents, the price per pound of the honey, and this product by 1000. We will then know how much we lose on every 1000. Then, too, there is the first cost. Section- holders for these boxes cost .^ per 100, while those for others can be obtained for Other goods are in proportion. One. 10 Great Seed Specialties to every Intending purt-haBer.
