CLARIFYING BEESWAX.
u the Work IL Done Properly n Prod.
act Of Fine, Even Appearance
VIII he Obtained.

As II is generally clarified some
beeswax presents a very clear
yellow. while other wax when COM
pared with it has a dirty look. This
is owing to the proper method EN-.
ployed in n case and lack of thor
ougness in another, albeit not always,
for there is such a difference even in
beeswax that it is questionable if some
could ever be made clear. If clarified
as it should be, however, the chances
are nine out of ten of its all presenting
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 hoated an old board
of some sort, the mixture at the end of
that period should be dipped out with
an old pan or dipper from the kettle.
and poured through a hemp sack OF
other thin material that is allowed to
rest on the board floating in the tub.
The result is the waxruns through the
sack into the tub, leaving considerable
residue in the sack, which can readily
be separated by squeezing or rolling
the mass with a round stick or similar
means of pressure.
The wax will float on the surface OF
the water in the tub and soon cool,
n while this is taking place the ket.

clean water; then the wax should be

time. 1t should next be strained care.

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
be 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, it 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.

market.

HEDGEHOG BUG CHlghly Magniaed).

ish. Apparently the mischief spread
with such rapidity because the bug has
no natural enemies in this country, and
that is why the department of agricul-
ture sem one of its most expert en-
tomologists, Mr.. Marlatt, to the far
east to look for something that would
devour the destroyer.
Mr.. Marlatt had a long chase. He
Travelled over Japan and through many
far countries, but it was not until he
arrived in northern China, in a remote
and hitherto uneXplored region, that
he found what he wanted. 1t was an
insect that bore a rather extraordinary
aspect, resembling in appearance a
hedgehog, and its customary food was
the San Jose scale.
1t seems probable that this was the
region from which the scale bug orig
inally ame The pest does not
amount to anything on its native
heath, being kept down by it's formid-
able foe. But when it made its way to
America, on tree cuttings or in some
such fashion, it was not accompanied
on the journey by its enemy, and hence
the trouble that has arisen in the
United States, where it has thriven and
multiplied exceedingly.
Of course, Mr.. Marlatt was much de-
lighted at his discovery. He caught
100 of the hedgehog bugs and packed
them carefully in a box. 1t was a long
journey home, but he took the utmost
pains to safeguard his precious live
stock, and, though 9S of them died, he
got to Washington a few weeks ago
with two survivors.
Fortunately the two that survived
were lively and healthy. A large cage
was built for them out of doors, of
fine wire net, so as to prevent them
from escaping. The cage was about
eight feet, and inside of it was planted
a fair-sized plum tree which was badly
infested by the scale insects.
The hedgehog bugs lost no time in
getting to work. Not only did they
attack the scale insect, but they pro-
ceeded to multiply their species, and
already about 100-a lot of equivalent
to the original stock obt~ained-are
crawling about on the branches of the
plum trees. They are so precious that
Secretary Wilson would not take five
dollars apiece for them, and the cage
is kept locked, nj unauthorized person
being permitted to enter it.
The hedgehog bugs turn into beetles
after ten days or so-decidedly hand
some beetles, about the size of a lady
bug, each with two bright red spots Oh
the back. They are particularly busy
bugs, and the energy they exhibit in
destroying the scales is wonderful.
They simply walk over the branches of
the infested tree and gobble the OBJ
noxious insects one after the other.
AS soon as the hedgehog bugs have
multiplied to a sufficient extent, Mr..
Marlatt is going to give patches of
them to large fruit growers, in this and
other ways distributing them we the
infested parts of the country, where it
is believed that they will reduce the
scale insects to harmless numbers be-
fore long.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

And Loves Young Dream Was

for one was more than ample for
both, relates the New York Sun.
