THE BEE-KEFPERS' REVIEW 



Ir'-^^i 



This Extractor Can't "Wobble." 



the other didn't, it was almost impos- 

 sible to keep up enough speed to clean 

 the combs. Aly extractor is of the two- 

 frame type, with wide, deep pockets to 

 hold any size frame, whether deep or 

 wide. These are much harder to bal- 

 ance than those of larger capacity. 



I should probably have had one of 

 larger capacity before this, but I do not 



wish to buy until I can get a power- 

 extractor. 



I always kept my extractor firmly fas- 

 tened to the platform on which it stood, 

 but I found even this not sufficient to 

 keep it from vibrating. 



Last year and this I have been brac- 

 ing my extractor from above, a kink 

 I learned from my father-in-law, and 

 my troubles with a vibrating extractor 

 are at an end. 



The drawing will illustrate the meth- 

 od of bracing. You will note the braces 

 are set out at the top, thus bracing 

 the extractor sidewise as well as hold- 

 ing it firmly down. 



To protect the plaster I fasten a board 

 to the ceiling, and the braces are then 

 fastened to a board across the back side 

 of the extractor, the top driven tightly 

 into place and toe-nailed. 



BENCH FOR NAILING FRAMES, WIRING, ETC. 



For use in nailing franies I devised 

 a bench, which was described and illus- 

 trated in Gleanings three or four years 

 ago, but as I have made one or two 

 little changes in the bench I will send 

 a short description and drawing. See
