THE CAPPING- MELTER. Mr. Holtermann hasnever used a capjDing-melter, but has seen itin use enough to makeup his mind that hedoes not want such anoutfit for his own figures that thecapping-melter, whileit melts the wax andseparates all of thehoney, requires muchmore attention than anuncapping-can, whichtime could be used tobetter advantage atsomething else duringthe height of the ex-tracting. Furthermore,while the flavor of thehoney need not be in-jured if the meller isproperly constructed,yet the color is apt tobe darkened slightly. The uncapping-cansare shown in Fig. 1. DECEMBER 1, 1913 847. Fig. 4.—The supers of honey loaded on the car, ready to be pushed to the extracting-house. Mr. Holterniannis greatly pleased with the car and its wooden track, and he expects to install a similar one at each yard. A perforated-metal basket, only slightlysmaller than the can itself, but just two-thirds its depth, occupies the upjDer half ofthe can. There are two cans, one for eachoperator, and they hold enough for half adays work. The eappings are frequentlypunched and stirred with a board so thatthey are comparatively dry when taken outand transferred to a barrel. Two barrelswill hold drained eappings for the entireextracting at each yard. The honey in thebottom of the uncapping-can is run out intopails and lifted up into the main tank. Lossing, of Phoenix, Ariz., uses verymuch the same plan but goes a step furtherin that he has a hose leading from the bot-tom of the uncapping-can to the bottom ofthe extractor, so that the pump elevates thehoney fro
