R. R. MURPHY'S IMPROVED HONEY EXTRACT- 

 ING HACHINE, AHEAD OF ALL COMPET- 

 ITORS AT THE CENTENNIAL EXPO- 

 SITION OF 1S7G.

Eitradfi^i: ^a^lii&i©. 



Commended for being well made and efficient. The 

 success of the operation, which is to renioye the 

 honey without injtiring the comb, depends upon the 

 care exercised to take the comb before the cells are 

 capped. The apparatus comprises copper cylinder 

 tinned on the inside, with a vat for the honey at the 

 bottom. Inside the cylinder is a rectangular revol- 

 ^-ing frame, having its longer sides covered with 

 sieve wire. The comb is placed in the box with the 

 frames in which it was made, and the box is rapidly 

 revolved by a handle and bevel gear. The centrifu- 

 gal force causes the honey to discharge into the cyl- 

 inder withovit the comb being injured, so that the 

 latter is replaced in the hive, and the bees at onoe 

 commence the process of refilling.
