season ends, and when the time comes 

 to prepare my bees for winter, I have 

 5 combs of choice stores to put into 

 each brood-chamber for the bees to 

 winter on. If I had left all the colonies 

 to winter on honey-dew in 1884, when 

 the brood-chambers were filled up full 

 with it, I would have lost nearly all of 

 my bees. It doesn't pay to try to win- 

 ter bees on poor stores. — Wm. McEvoy, 

 in Canadian Bee Journal. 



Churning Slumgum 

 Water. 



Under Boiling 



The following- is from W. L. Porter, 

 in the Progressive Bee-Keeper : 



" For rendering old combs I use a 

 tank IS inches deep and 19 inches 

 square on top. I have it these dimen- 

 sions so it is suitable for holding four 

 square 5-galIon cans of honey for lique- 

 fying. This I place on a brick furnace 

 with pipe sufficient to give a good 

 draft, and fill -3 full of water. When 

 boiling I put in old comb until the tank 

 is full. I then have a screen made out 

 of ^^-inch lumber, S inches wide, and 

 the size just to fit the inside of the can ; 

 the lumber is put together in the form 

 of a box. On this I fasten firmly screen 

 wire (window-screen) with a brace thru 

 the middle. When the wax is boiling- 

 vigorously I place in this frame, with 

 the screen up. The S-inch frame pre- 

 vents the slumgum from coming up, 

 and the wax will come thru the screen. 



'•When the frame is prest down I 

 dip off this, and by agitating the frame 

 it churns the refuse, the wax is libera- 

 ted and comes on top. I then take out 

 the frame and screen and stir vigor- 

 ously, then put in the screen and re- 

 peat the dipping off. I then weigh 

 down the screen with heavy weights, 

 and leave over night. The heat of the 

 brick and the coals under the furnace 

 will keep the tank at the boiling-point 

 for a good many hours, and in the 

 morning wax can be taken ofl in a 

 cake. This leaves the slumgum quite 

 free of wax."

 bank of earth thrown out of a railroad
