woven cloth, putting sack and all into a 

 kettle having boiling water in it. As 

 the water boils, work the sack with an 

 old hoe, and see how the wax will rise. 

 Work till you are satisfied the wax is 

 all out ; or if you have a press of any 

 kind, you can press the sack of refuse 

 at the finish, but with me the hoe will 

 work out 95 percent. If you have more 

 than the sack will hold at first, you can 

 untie and fill in more as it works down 

 in the boiling water. 



Never burn up any comb of any kind, 

 unless your laljor is worth more than 

 fS.OO a day. And if it is hire some $1.50 

 a day laborer to get out the wax, and 

 save the S3. SO as your profit. Of course, 

 was and old combs will make a good 

 fire, but such a fire would be rather ex- 

 pensive. I have heard of persons roll- 

 ing up SS.OO bills and lighting cigars 

 with the flame from them while burn- 

 ing, but I think a match would be pre- 

 ferable. And I also prefer good wood 

 and coal for fuel for my stoves, to that 

 of using old bee-combs. — G. M. Doo-

Bees Did PooFly. 



My bees did poorly this season, and 

 I expect to have to feed them. I think 

 the weather has been too wet. Bass- 

 wood was in full bloom when a heavy 

 rain came and washt the honey all out 

 of the flowers. The same thing hap-
