THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



173 



The divided boxes 

 are of hard-wood, 

 babbetted, and the 

 sliding table has a 

 gauge on which two 

 end-bars are placed. 

 The machine is used 

 in a horizontal posi- 

 tion. This sliding 

 table with gauge 

 and two end-bars in 

 position, is shown 

 in cut. The end- 

 bars are marked AA. 



Table with two 

 end bars is pushed 

 up against the drills 

 and the three holes 

 are bored in both 

 end-bars as quickly 

 as the hand can 

 move. 



But a few hours 

 are required to bore 

 thousands of e n d- 

 bars, and the holes 

 are uniform and 

 clean, as thev should 

 be. 



In our next ar- 

 ticle, we will illustrate and describe our method of wiring, 

 real practical wiring gauge, that does really save time an 

 in better work.

sometimes prolonged task, I cast about for some way to 



overcome the difficulty, the result of which was a decoy-hive made 



to take my regular brood frame, or two of them, in some cases.
