THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Any loose paper must ahvays l)e torn out before each using; 

 otherwise this becomes imbedded in the hardened wax and makes it 

 difficult to turn it out. 



The ordinary cigar-box forms a two-pound brick. By putting 

 a piece of tin cut just the right size exactly in the middle after pour- 

 ing in the wax, I can get cakes weighing as near an exact pound as 

 it is possible to get it, I think. 



These wax molds are cheap, easily obtained, convenient, and 

 save work and muss ; and the bricks are in an. ideal shape for 

 packing for shipment.

[Just how to keep the vvax moths from eating up the pieces of comla at the 

 out-apiary is something that no doubt at some time or other has been a pro1:)lem 

 to all of us. The method given by Miss Candler is certainly ingenious and should 

 accomplish the purpose desired.] 



Improved Wiring Gauge. 



E. F. ATWATER. 



'•l| N wiring our frames, we find that best results are secured by 

 jl using fairly tight wires, so last winter I devised the wiring 

 gauge shown in the cuts. 

 There is a stop at one lower corner, and another narrow wedge- 

 shaped stop comes just between two wire holes, at the same end of 



Atwater's Wiring Gauge.
