WAX PROFITS.

Many bee-keepers allow old combs and 

 scraps of beeswax to collect, which, for lack 

 of time and the proper utensils, are scattered 

 or eaten up by moth -worms. A 

 big item would be added to the 

 year's profits by the timely ren- 

 dering of said wax by an econom- 

 ical process. We believe the press illus- 

 trated herewith fills a long-felt want in 

 rendering wax. 



B. Walker, Clyde, 111., says: 



Was inclined to believe at first that the German 

 wax-press was a failure; but after a thoroug'h trial 

 I was well pleased. I secured 30 lbs. more wax 

 from one day's use of the machine than I would 

 have secured by the ordinary method of rendering. 



N. E. France, Platteville, Wis., State In- 

 spector of Apiaries, and General Manager 

 National Bee-keepers' Association, says: 



The German wax-press is by far the best ma- 

 chine or process to save wax from old black brood- 

 combs.
