GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



I noticed in Gleanings a few weeks back where 

 some of the friends were inclined to roast A. I. R. for 

 his Home Talks. Keep them coming. Mr. R. Yonr 

 Home Papers are fire, and I enjoy them the very best 

 all throngh. I am no Christian, and seldom go to 

 cluirch ; lint they are better than a s rmon from a col- 

 lege graduate, as they come from a true Christian 

 heart, in my estimation. When I stop Gleanings, it 

 will be when I have not the i^l 00, not for its sermons 

 on righteousness, even though a bee-journal.

THE GERMAN WAX-PRESS 



For over twenty years past I have had to render up 

 old combs or cappings in larger or smaller quantities, 

 and my experience has been extensive, for I have tried 

 faithfully almost every known method to get all the 

 wax out, but have never succeeded to my satisfaction 

 initil recently. I got of you a German wax -press, that 

 comes nearer accomplishing that object than anything 

 I have ever tried I am more than .satisfied with it. for, 

 if used according to directions, there is little if any wax 

 left in the refuse. ■ Any one used to the old methods 

 will be astonished at the results obtained. In this 

 press you have given those in need of it the best thing, 

 to mj' mind, you have ever brought out, and I really 

 believe all who try it will pronounce it a real treasure. 

 There are other points of advantage that I could men- 

 tion, one of which is its perfect safety — no boiling 

 over and setting fire to every thing, and it can be left 

 alone without care for quite a time, and every thing 

 can be kept neat and clean, and it occupies very little 

 room. E. T. Flanagan.
