THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



217 



The editor of Gleanings comments as 

 follows: — 



When this idea of bleaching by means 

 ofsunliijht and sul])hnr first came out 

 I felt very enthusiastic about it; but af- 

 ter the matter was exploited in our col- 

 umns about two years ago, I had almost 

 entirely forgotten about it until TMr. 

 Crane sent in the manuscript and photos 

 for this article. 



Our friend furnishes additional proof 

 showing the results tliat may be ot^taintd 

 by bleaching otherwise dark combs; and 

 while his bleaching-house cost him quite 

 a little sum of money, I estimate that he 

 probably paid for it one season's use. If 

 that be the fact, the investment has paid 

 for itself and he has it for years to come. 

 When one can convert a No. i honey into 

 a fancy, and a No. 2 into a No. i, he is 

 actually making anywhere froiti one to 

 two cents per lb. on his honey. At one 

 cent, on a basis of 10,000 lbs. he would 

 make a clean profit of 5'<JO. I do not 

 know of any way the bee-keeper can earn 

 good money more easily after the honey- 

 flow and the rush is over than he can to 

 bleach up some of his off-colored combs. 

 Mr Crane is a very careful, conservative 

 bee-keeper; and what he saj^s he has ac- 

 complished I know he can do. 



FINE FAH.M L.AXDS. 



Wisconsin is noted for its fine crops, 

 excellent markets, pure water and health- 

 ful climate. 



You can buy a farm on easy terms in 

 Wisconsin along the line of the Chicago. 

 Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway for less 

 than you can rent one for ihree years in 

 any of the I^astern states. Now is the 

 time to invest.
