A Modem Bee-Farm 



Mr. W. P. Meadows, 



of Syston, has introduced a very 

 important improvement in 

 extractors. As shown by 

 the accompanying illustra-

 which the comb rests is 

 itself backed by a sheet 

 of tin; the two being firmly 

 fastened together, with an 

 intervening space. The 

 cage is made incapable of 

 bulging by strips of tin 

 secured to the back at 

 right angles to the same, 

 and running from top to 

 bottom ; thus permitting 

 '■ ' of a higher rate of speed 

 without danger of breaking 

 the combs. The extractor 



requires multiplying gear to make it more perfect. 

 Exhibition. 



Extracted honey for show purposes must be 

 bright and transparent, enclosed in a bottle 

 having a screw cap, that the contents may be 

 readily reached. The glass must be of the finest 

 quality and the jar as narrow as possible. 



Messrs. Abbott, of Southall, provide a very 

 neat glass as illustrated, designed especially for 

 exhibition purposes. The jar already mentioned, 

 in I lb. and ^ lb. sizes, will also be found very
