Queens thus raised cost only a trifle and the best possible are none too My Wax Press and Tank By R. H. YEAMSHAW, Stony Ford, Calif. ' "jtrlRST a description of the press and tank. The screw and /m\ crossarm are extras for a cider press, bought from a catalog house and costing between $4 and $o, including freight. The can was made to order, with outside diameter one-half inch less than length of cross arm and cost nearly a dollar. The uprights were hewed from oak logs 4"xS'' at bottom and -i"x5" at the top, and should be long enough to go above the cross arm so tliat the bolts will not pull through. I cut mine a little short in measure- ment. Two pieces 2"x6" are spiked across the bottom (had better be bolted) and 2" plank placed on them. Inside of the can is a slatted bottom with ^''x^^s'' slats, with a sheet of tin nailed on them and a ^'^ mesh wire screen on top, slats edgeways spaced ^"s". Then ^" square strips spaced about j^"' around the sides are nailed to a strip of tin, the same as the Root- Hatch press, with two strips at sides Ij-i'^x^'^ long enough to reach up to bottom of cross arm to keep press can down when follower is raised. The side strips should be beveled on top to start follower easily. The follower is built up (or down) of one piece 2''x9" next the screw foot, five pieces l"x2" crossways of it. equal spaced, and l";4" strips across them edgeways spaced about ^s", all of hard wood, mostly hickory; ^4" mesh wire screen to cover the bottom.
