n 



sheet may be folded over it as shown by Fig. 40, leaving 

 equal margins of paper on either side of the section ; apply 

 paste to the three exposed sides of the section, and fold the 

 paper over it as shown in Fig. 40, pressing the paper firmly 

 down on the paste on the top of the section ; then apply paste 

 to the paper on the top of the section, and fold back over it the 

 other end of the sheet, pressing it firmly down so that it shall 

 adhere to the upper side of the paper already stuck to the 

 section ; then fold the projecting margins of the paper as 

 shown in Figs. 41 and 42, and fix them neatly in position 

 with paste. If a label is used, it should be placed on the top 

 of the section. The top side of the section should be kept up- 

 wards, to prevent leakage of honey from any cells the capping 

 of which may be imperfect. 



If sections are to be glazed, provide squares of the lightest glass 

 -ion ni ■ o I.- procurable, cut 4i inches by 4i inches, 

 160. Glazing Sections.^^^^i^g ^^^^^ 2.. to 2.. 6d. per 100 squares ; 



provide also slips of suitable paper of any approved colour 18 

 inches long by 2| inches broad. Coat one shp of paper 

 with paste, place the section on it at ^ inch from one 

 end, and so as to allow the same amount of margin on either 

 side, turn the section over on the paper, pressing the latter 

 firmly and neatly against it all round (Fig. 43) ; the ends of the 

 paper will slightly overlap. Now place the glasses in position 

 against the wood on either side, and turn the margins of the 

 paper down over them so that they shall thus be held firmly in 

 position, (Fig. 44). If desired, slips of lace-paper about J inch 

 wide may be used in lieu of wide slips as above described, but 

 they do not protect the wood, nor do they make as secure a 

 binding for the glasses as the method above recommended. 

 Lace-paper frilling, in pieces about 20 inches long, costs 6d. to 

 Id. per 100 slips. 



When small quantities of sections are to be forwarded, a good 



method of packing them is to use the

Post Crates. It can be made to hold eight or any 



smaller quantity of one-pound sections 



for parcel post ; the crate for eight sections consists of two 



end pieces of wood 5 J inches by 5 J inches by J inch, 



joined by twelve pieces of sawn plaster lath, cut to 



17J inches long. The laths are nailed to the sides of the 



squares, against which are placed two pieces of corrugated 



paper 5 J inches by 5 J inches. Carefully drawn hay or straw, 



long enough to wrap round four sides of a section, should be 



laid neatly in and across the crate from end to end, each wisp 



lying against three sides of the crate and sufficient ends being 



left to permit of their being folded across the fourth side. 



The sections, previously wrapped in wax paper, should then 



be packed, separators made of wood or cardboard, 4J x 4J, 



being placed between each pair of sections, and care being
