Taylor has used the ma- chine to put foundation in about 2,000 sections, and he pronounces it a " Double ; He says it does the work easily and perfectly, and with comfort to the operator. From the circular describing the Woodcock Foundation Fastener, we take the following: I would respectfully call your atten- tion to the merits of the foundation .^7. fastener, as shown in the cut herewith. It puts the foundation straight in the center of the section, thereby securing a neat and straight section of honey. It melts the foundation on the wood, causing it to adhere firmly, and, if properly done, the foundation will tear apart before it will part from the sec- tion. It saves the foundation that is usually wasted by other methods of fastening, which, in a large apiary, would cover the cost of the machine several times in a single year. In the directions for using we find this: Fasten the machine to the floor by a screw, letting the top rest against a table or bench. Place a small lamp un- der the steel plate until the plate is hot enough to slowly melt the wax. Now regulate the lamp so as to maintain the right temperature by lowering the lamp, or turning the blaze down ; for, if too hot or too close, it will scorch the sec- tion ; it does not require much heat after the plate is once hot enough. Now, when the flopper is down, as shown in the cut at B, place the section over the block, letting the bottom come under the plate, drop the foundation lightly on top of the plate (use ?io pres- sure), and pull the flopper out. The foundation drops upon the section, and at once becomes a fixture. Continue in the same direction with the flopper until it is in an upright position, when the section may be removed and the flopper returned to its proper position to receive another section. This is the only fastner on the m
