A PILE OF WAX CAKES FROM A GERMAN WAX- 

 PRESS PURCHASED LAST SEASON.

 ings." 



"All right," she said. 



Mind you, she had never been in an apiary 



before, yet she had been stung when picking 

 fruit, so she knew full well all about their 

 "hot tails." She had confidence in her 

 father, and simply did exactly as she was 

 told to do. 



In a few minutes she saw the bulb press- 

 ed, but still held the frame of live bees, 

 many of them on her hands, till it was taken 

 from her grasp. 



The Root wax-press you sent me last sea- 

 son has paid for itself already. To empha- 

 size the fact, I send a photograph of what 

 it rendered from old black combs similar to 

 those which for years I have burned up. I 

 asked the boys to pile up our wax cakes so I 

 could photo them. They did as I ordered, 

 and soon had them up so high my kodak 

 would not reach the top. When remonstrat- 

 ed with for extending them into the air 

 they simply said, "You wanted it piled up, 

 so we did not pile it down."

[Please extend to the little lady who so 

 bravely did as she was told by her father, 

 the congratulations of Gleanings, and, I 

 may say, all of its readers. And that re- 

 minds me that almost any one can handle a 

 frame of bees, pick them up by the handful 

 out of a cluster, and pat them on the back, 

 providing he (or she) will follow directions. 

 We demonstrated that with the 150 school- 

 teachers who visited us, and whose pictures 

 appear in our September 1st issue, p. 914. —
