The latest advices received from the
Bankers baseball team seem to indi-
cate that the prospect of their getting
a game with the Lawyers team this
fall seems to be rapidly approaching the
vanishing point. The only hope of the
Bankers at present is the fact that
the Lawyers have gone back to their
fail and winter schedule of Office hours,
and that now with the two hours daily
of extra working time and the five
hours that they now have each Satur-
day afternoon they will perhaps before
the snow comes get over their rush
of business and find time some after

In view of the increasing interest in
agriculture in Colorado and the lack
OF definite information ON the subject
Of the extraction of beeswax, an i'm
pDrtant product of the industry, +. C..
Afford OF the Colorado station, has
made study of the relative efficiency
of different methods of extraction now
in use. He experimental with solar
extractors, those using steam, and
those using pressure under water heat
ed sufficiently to melt the wax. In the
latter method he used water alone and
water containing sulphuric acid.
The solar extractor used by Mr.. AL
ford was simple in construction anu.
can be made by anyone who is handy
Yith tools. 1t consists of wooden
box about 80 inches long, 16 inches
broad, and inches deep. This box is
lined with tin, and near one end a
wire-cloth screen to allow the melt
ed wax to run down into a pan at the
lower end of the box. The waste wax
and brood comb were placed in the up
per part of the box, which was set at
an angle toward the sun and covered
with glass, preferably double. The size
Of the solar extractor will be deter
mined by the amount of wax to be ex-
tracted. If desired, a lamp may be
used to furnish additional heat. A hole
should be cut in the bottom of the box,

INTOLERABlE ITCHING.
Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face
professional Treatment Failed.
A Perfect Cure by cutlcura.

when my little girl was six months
old l noticed small red spots on her
right cheek. They grew so large that
! sent for the doctor but, instead of
helping the eruption. his ointment
seemed to make it worse. Then I
went to a SECOND doctor WHO said 1t
was eczema. He also gave me An oint-
ment which did not help either. The
disease spread all over the face and
the eyes began to swell. The itching
grew intolerable and 1t was terrible
sight to see. l consulted doctors for
months, but they were unable to cure
the baby. l paid out from $40 to $50
without relief. One evening l began
to use the Cuticura Remedies. The
next morning the baby's face was all
white instead Of red. continued until
the eczema entirely disappeared. Mrs

THE VARIOUS METHODS

suIphurle Acid and Pressure Under

SuIphurlc Acid and Pressure Under
Nater.-It was thought that the add
ton of acid to the water in the expert.
ment might increase the efficiency OF
the method. The comb was heated
in porcelain-lined tub with a solution
of five per cent. commercial sulphuric
acid. When the wax had melted Ii
was poured into the sack in the press
and pressure applied quickly in order
not to have the acid in contact with
the metal any longer than necessary.
The wax and water were draw. off,
boiling water added, the slumgum
stirred, and pressure applied again.
This water was drawn off and put
with the rest. AS this was an expert.
ment to determine the efficiency of the
press, tin can was used, but in prac
tical work 1t would be necessary to
have everything acid proof, as bot
acid, even when diluted, is very de
structive to most substances. Til
can could be made of wood or por
clain-lined ware.
This method was easy to manipu
late and rapid and was the most eff
cient of all the methods used.
The wax obtained with the steam ex
tractors did not have good color and
would have had to be refined before il
could be used. The wax from the solar
extractors was always a better color

the extractor-can. After the bubbles of
air have risen to the surface we run
the honey directly into pint mason jars,
and finally put on the labels We do not
heat the honey, as our trade does not
demand 1t. In fact, many prefer II in the
candied state. The editor of Bee Culture
suggests that one better afford to cut a
hole in the floor in which to put the pail
and, when the extracting season is over
cover it with q trap-door. A better ar
rangement, as suggested, is to run q tin
pipe to convey the honey to tank on
a lower level The trouble with running
the honey direct into a pail is that one
is likely to forget and let the honey run
over and waste Enough is lost In this
way to pay for tin pipe in a short time
than that from the steam extractors
The wax formed by pressure under wa
ter was nearly as good in color as
the wax from the solar extractors
Wax from old brood comb is too
dark to be used for comb foundation,
SO that some satisfactory method of
bleaching must be employed. Various
methods Of bleaching were therefore
tried, but most of them either de-
stroyed the wax or were in themselves
poisonous.
AS a result Of these experiments.
and from his experience in handling
bees and rendering wax, Mr.. Afford ex-
presses the following opinion:
1T is best for the average bee keep
er to have large solar wax extract
or, heated by some artificial heat. by
means of which most of the wax In
the lighter colored combs, cappings,
and burr combs may be easily rem
dered. The dark combs may also be
treated in this manner and the slum-
gum stored in barrels until the bee
keeper has time to treat it with dilute
sulphuric acid and press under water
This method is quick and efficient If
the wax be refined it can be done by
heating, while inclosed in a canton
flannel sack, with a solution contain
ing five per cent. of hydrogen perox-
ide and two to five per cent. of sui
phuric acid. Both of these chemicals
can be bought at the ordinary drug
store. The common kind, commercial.
should be used
"In mixing the acid and the water
care should be taken to always pour
the acid gently into the water and not
the water into the acid
The cost of chemicals compared
with the results obtained II very
slight"
