al it should be. however. the chances
are nine ont of ten of its all pres cnting
the same fine. even appearance. says
the Country Gentleman.
The way to do it is TO take the comb
one has to clarity and put it in a large
iron kettle, such as is used on the
farm outdoors. filling it with water.
In this the comb should be allowed to
boil for several hours. Meanwhile. a
tub having been filled half full of wa
ter, on which is foated an old board
of some sort, the mixture at the end of
that period should be dipped cut with
an old pan or dipper from the kettle,
and poured through a hemp sack or
other thin material that is allowed TO
rest on the board floating in the tub.
The result is the wax runs through the
sack into the tub. leaving considerabl
residue in the sack. which can readily
be separated by squeezing or rolling
the mass with round stick or similar
means of pressure.
The wax will float on the surface of
the water in the tub and soon cool.
and while this is taking place the ket-
tie should be cleansed and filled with
clean water; then the wax should be
put back in il and boiled up second
time. 1t should next be strained care
fully through a fine meshed cloth sew
eral times. and as the sack or cloth
used for this purpose is of no special
value afterwards it should be thrown
away.
BeeswaX clarified in this manner can
he melted without water and put in
moulds ready for the market, which
otherwise might have been considered
worthless and never used at all. In
deed 1t pays to save all the scraps and
pieces OF old comb, and at the end of the
season treat them as described, for
thus will first-class beeswaX be OBJ
tanned, and that always finds a good
market.
