Mr. A. I. Root, editor of Gleanings, and others in America, 

 have been quite successful in the use of an electrical battery 

 on a simple scale, and they find the process of imbedding the 

 wires thereby far more rapid and satisfactory than hitherto. 



Sections should be Filled 



with new white combs if possible, and never with anything 

 less than full sheets of foundation. The former should be 

 cut to go in tight ; the latter, when used in sections having 

 no saw cuts, with about |-inch to spare on two sides, and 

 fastened by melted wax at the top. For gauging to the 

 c6ntre, use a block similar to that for large frames, but 

 regulating screws can be placed on each of the four projec- 

 tions, so that the same block will do for any width of section. 

 Another plan is to make a saw-cut in the one-piece section 

 as already shewn, and when folded the foundation is readily 

 inserted in such a manner that the most perfect combs are 

 obtained, while for packing to travel long journeys, both this 

 and the completely divided section give greater security than 

 is obtained by any other plan.
