Sulphuric Acid to Cleanse Beeswax. 



Asked tt8 to Uie Htrentctli noccleil, filcanings 

 in Hee-Culture says; 



SonictiirieB a .l-pcrcent solution will do the 

 work; I lu-ii us Ktronir us is rei|uired. That is 

 lo sii.v, one piirt raw acid (o 10 parts water: 

 liiit if tlic wax is very dirty or lilaek you may 

 r(*(|uire to use as liitjii as 25 percent. Use a<'id

 you liiii iiiiil<c your wax enough more val-

 acid. 



Increase of Honey. Yield. 



\ei-y often we see the i|Uestion asked: " Is 

 I, lien- any plant that will pay to grow for 

 lioiicy iilone ;" Whether such a plant exists 

 1 will not try to suy, hut I do •wish to say 

 that this (Hiestion sounds a little foolish, for 

 who would wish to cultivate a plant that 

 furnished only nectar, while there are so 

 many nectar-yielding ones, which furnish 

 also excellent crops of fruit and grain ? I am 

 of the opinion that new plants for supplying 

 nectar arc not half so desirable as would be 

 giving more attention to some of our present 

 tield-crops, and study to have them coming 

 on at the proper time to till up the vacancies 

 between the main Hows from the natural 

 sources. 



I also incline to the belief that louger- 

 tongued bees are to be desired more than 

 short-tubed clover, tor the reason that 

 though the short-tubed clover may be had, 

 advantage over the one single plant is all we 

 have; while by lengthening the bees' 

 tongues till they can work on red clover, 

 hundreds of plants equally as valuable as red 

 clover would be brought within reach of the 

 bees at a single step.— L. E. Kebr, in the 

 American Bee-Keeper. 



Don't Be a Clam. 



Don't be like a bee-keeper I once knew. 

 Retold me he had " Invented " a new way 

 of rendering combs : it was far ahead of any 

 other way. I replied. " If it is any better 

 than the solar wax-extractor then it is good." 

 '• Solar wax-extractor *" said he. " What is 

 that r' I explained it to him. He appeared 

 quite disgusted with himself. " Why." said 

 he, " that is what I have, and I thought that 

 no one else had ever seen such a wonderful 

 thing, and I was going to take good care that 

 he never did." He then took me to where 

 his extractor was, and I tell you it was a 

 crude affair. He did not subscribe to any 

 bee-journal, and so was ignorant of the 

 strides that were being made in apicul- 

 ture; and when he found out a good thing 

 he kept it to himself instead of telling it, 

 and thus helping to brighten the lot of others. 

 —Australian Bee-Keepers' Review. 



The Bee In Law. 



R. D. Fisher tells something about it in 

 Gleanings in Bee-Culture. A decision of the 

 New Vork Supreme Court is that — 



"A man's finding bees in a tree standing 

 upon another man's land gives him no right, 

 either to the tree or bees; and a swarm of 

 bees going from a hive, if they can be fol- 

 lowed and known, are not lost to the owner, 

 but may be reclaimed." 



Mr. Fisher further says : 



Where one discovers bees in a tree, obtains 

 a license from the owner of the soil to take 

 them, and thereupon marks the tree with his 

 own initials, he gains no property till he 

 takes possession ; nor can he maintain tres-
