not almost worn out from holding a

The drawing shows the plan fully.
Just 18A inches apart we nail on it,
at the ends, pieces of section stuff
Bx1asx5 inches. On these, and pro
jecting u inch inward, nail cleats
Ax19sx5 inches. This gives the cleated
board complete, as at A. The cleats
provide recesses at D D to engage the
ends of the separators.
This cleated board is mounted as
at c, with one end last to a joist, the
other supported by diagonal brace.
B shows how the separator is to be
put in place by springing it so the
ends just go under the recesses at

nearly at right angle to the separator.
With very thin separators you will find
1t necessary to do most of the cleaning
from the middle toward you, and from
the middle away from you, or the sep.
arator may spring out of place.
With thicker separators you may
go at them rough-shod. When one
side is clean, turn the separator over
and repeat the process. Keep the re.
cesses clean, and brush the loose pro.
polls off the board occasionally.
After little you will acquire the

CLEANING sEPARAToRs.
E. f. Atwater Tells Of His Quick
Method of Doing Work.

One of the most monotonous, tire
some and unpleasant jobs connected
with large-scale comb-honey produc-
ton is the annual cleaning of vast
number of bee-gummed separators. In
many localities the separator must be
thoroughly cleaned every year or else
the necessary fixtures cannot be crowd
ed into super. Another result, but
not at all a bad one, is that the sec
tions will hold more honey, as the
propolis acts much like cleats on the
separator. For this reason some bee
keepers seldom clean their separators;
but when they do, then they have a
job of no small proportions. AS no
rapid and satisfactory method of clean
ing separators has ever been given to
the bee-keeping public, l will describe
