About three-fourths of the honey will
drain from the cappings and run out
of the side spout, never being heated

runs out with the melted wax, and is
a shade darker and a bit off in flavor
from being heated with the dark cap

separate in extracting the lighter
grades OF honey, but with the darker

BIG SHOW TOMORROW

If you miss the small boy OF the
family at breakfast tomorrow morning
don't be alarmed, for it will be a safe
conjecture that he is at the show lot
watching Barnes circus set up.
1t is one of the far-away members
of the grown ups, the boyhood days
when we watched the red wagons pull
up on the lot, the horse tents and din
ing rooms erected and the fascinating
hustle and hustle of getting ready for
the show. Many of us have not out
grown the habit yet.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the bugle will
sound the call for the parade to leave
streets will be travelled. At 1 p. m.
the doors will be opened for the after
noon show, which stars an hour later.
The night show opens its doors at
7:30 and starts at SIS. The press
agent promises a program lasting two
hours, with three rings and steel
arenas in constant operation.
All the dangerous or wild beast acts
take place in the steel arena, including
Major Thornton and his troupe of 20
Siberian grizzly and Russian sable
bears; Mmlle Ricardo and the royal
Bangal tigers, Nine Friganze and the
riding four, Captain Stonewall and

wax separators the cakes of wax may
be removed as they cool. The warm
honey goes into the strainer.
In this locality the nights are often
so cool that extracting early in the
morning is not practicable. as the
honey will not go through the strain
er. There are many days also that are
so cool that honey cannot be thrown
out clean from the combs with the
hand extractor. The power extractor
will throw out the thick honey and I
am planning to heat all my honey next
season before il goes into the strainer.
Our thick alfalfa honey when cold
goes through the strainer slowly and
clogs up the cloths very quickly. and
the gravity strainer is not practical
for our use. Has anybody used such
a heater
Locality is such a varying factor that
what is entirely practical in one place
use'c-s in another. For Instance, we
could never think OF producing bulk
comb honey, much Of our honey
graduates from two days to a week
after being taken from the combs, and
granulates in the combs IN a month /:

Combined Strainer and Can Filler
E. Il. Hogaboom of Elk Grove writes
that for two seasons he has used his
patent strainer and automatic can filler,
and finds the outfit satisfactory. The
strainer can is 40 inches in diameter
and is inches deep. The circular screen
for straining is supported II inches
from the outside and from the bottom
Of the can. while the honey remains
within 3i1 inches from the topsaI the

someone says that he has a machine
for uncapping honey, and 1 find that
the machine does not save the wax,
then l fail to get interested. A ma
chine that does not save the wax has
no place in my apiaries. Show me the
man who has 500 colonies who will
give the wax for extracting his honey,
and we will make a deal at once. With
the steam knife one gets all of the

tachable from the strainer, fitting any
size of strainer can. 1 usually ar
range this automatic filler with an
electric bell which always announces
to the operator that the can is filled.
There is about 81 inches space from
the level of the honey in this can 10

would hold about 10 gallons, which
avoids all danger of overflowing while
changing cans. BY the use of this de-

CnPping MeIter
J. r. Crowler Of Pasadena tells OF a
Gaping melter which he has used for
several seasons that requires only one
gas stove to keep the OUTFIT hot. MY
melting tanks are double walled. The
outside tank Is 16x24, and is inches
deep, while the inside tank is 14x22x16
inches. At 2i5 inches from the top Of
the outside tank is drawn in even with
the top Of the inside tank; then both
are soldered together. air or steam
tight. so that no steam escapes except
through the steam knife, which is at
tached by soldering an ordinary oil
can spot TO the screw top or the place
where l put the water in. In this way
the honey and wax are melted and the
knife is heated. all with a one-burner
gas stove.
The stuff is melted. then gravity fed
into a separator. This king of ma
chimes never clog. as there is a regular
honey faucet passing through the out
side tank and connecting with the in
side one, through which everything
passes as fast as melted. The heat is
not only conserved, but the heating ca
pacity is much greater, as the inside
tank is hot on the sides as well as the
bottom. The inside tank has a parti
tion six inches from the end which has
the faucet. In this partition there IS
a four-inch slip gate to raise and low
er, similar to that of the old fashioned
syrup-vats, easy to slip and unclog #
necessary.

Yelling Horses Among Bees

MIR. Crowder also tells Of removing
loaded wagons near apiaries or robbers.
He says he used rope for two sea
sons 10 or IL years ago. but discarded
IL for the simple plan of yelling the
horses by Sitting an ordinary grass
sack on one edge from the top TO
within four inches of the bottom. Il
slip the sack over the horses heads
and tie under the throat with string
placed there for that purpose. Then

Draining Honey out of CappinGs


f. L. Sechrist Of CIarksburg, Yolo
county. gives an account of his way
of avoiding difficulty because, in his
locality honey granulates 50 quickly
that cappings become one solid mass
in a very few days if allowed to stand
and drain, so some kind of cappins
melter seems necessary. He says:
The two 1 have used this season
were very satisfactory, both being o.
the same design, one five feet, the other
six feet long. Seven eight feet
might be even better if there were
space in the extracting room for it.
They are easily made, and not eXpen
sive.
1t is, in principle, Mcintyre uncap-
ping box combined with a melter, the
melter being confined to a space of
two feet at one end of the box, under
which is a water tank to be heated by
a one burner oil stove.
The box is six feet long by two feet
wide. of seven -eighth-inch boards, il
inches wide, nailed to 2x4 legs 80 inches
long. The bottom is a sheet of gal
vanized iron with edges turned up from

What fun we Socialists havet The
Taft and Roosevelt contest is as anus
ing to one who understands as was
the ia nous fight of Don &uixote with
the windmill.
AS a case in point, the Cincinnati
Times-Star, brother Charley's paper
III a recent issue showed that Theo-
dore Roosevelt when president OF the
United States had over his own sig
nature said Three years ago the in
tersta,e commerce commission de-
cided that the harvester company had
accepted what amounted substantl-
llyto rebates; yet, after making ina
statement he wrote to Corporation
Commissioner Smith Please do not
file suit until hear from you The
harvester trust never was prosecuted
by President Roosevelt, fact that is
made plain by this organ of President
Taft. That is part of the old joke,
the butt of which is on the American
people.
The second fact that William How
ard Taft, whose brother makes the
charge. has been president more than
three years, yet he made no attack
ON the harvester trust until after he
became a candidate for denomination.
That is the second part of the joke,
still falling heavily on the people, on
the 'fmob," if you please.
The third part of the joke is in the
fact that Taft alleges the reason
Roosevelt did not prosecute the har-
yester people was because he Is be
ing financed by Perkins, of that and
the steel trust. And Perkins comes
into the open and admits it, but de,
clares he is playing no fayorltes
and financed Taft also!
So we have a great pretence Of
fighting the trust on the part OF both
men, while both were equally derelic'
in pro tecting the interest of the PEG

on "MedicaI strait-Jacket"

Victor L. Berger, Socialist represen-
tative in Congress from Milwaukee,
writes of the medical strait-Jacket'
"The people are becoming familiar
with the methods of the political doc
tors. They are not SO easily hum
plugged as they were before the super
stition of drugs was brought to the
bar of public opinion for trial.
"There was once time that the
lawyers were the political busybodies,
but the doctors are now disputing
with them for first place. The medi-
cal schools have turned out more doc
tors than there is any demand for,
despite their efforts to . throw the
scare, and so those without patients
turn to politics for sustenance.
"The activity of the political doc
tors to place thep ublic in medical
strait-jacket, to outlaw the grand.
mother with her catnip tea and the
Christian Scientists with their denial
of evil, the osteopaths with their
curative methods and all who are not
as regular as the orthodox church,
while clothed invariably in profess
sions of concern for the public health,
is quite suggestive of the public spirit
which animated John D. Rockefeller
in his monopolistic labors to remove

ton that people might profit from his

Giant Party of
the Working Class

Capitalist neWspapermen who ex
pected serious clashes between the
so-called factions over party tactics
have been greatly disappointed with
their experience the first day of the
convention. Never was a Socialist
convention SO peaceful and harmon
ious. All delegates proved that they
were Socialists to the core and refus-
ed to give the enemy comfort by in
dulging in acrimonious debates and
heated discussions.
These newspaper men, however,
managed to get "story" out of an
order of the local authorities against
the carrying of the red flag in pro-
posed parade of indianapolis Social
lists and delegates. A sub committee
of the National Executive Committee,
consisting of Berger, Alexander Ir-
vine and Kate Richards O'TIare called
on the mayor and the superintendent
of police, and after some discussion
succeeded in getting them to reverse
their despotic and illegal order. But
owing to the rainy weather, no parade
was held.
A suit case containing important pa
pers regarding the Ettor and Gievan-
nftti case were stolen from George E.
Roewer, attorney for these men, while
on a train to Indianapolis to attend
the Socialist convention as delegate
from Massachusetts. Roewer believes
that agents Of the Lawrence mill
owners stole the suit case while he
was eating in the dining car. Some
of the papers can be duplicated.
"A number of Pinkertons are hang
ing around the hotels where the dele
gates are CHARTERED. Editor Randolph
of the anti-Socialis t"Common Cause"
and Peter w. Collins, so-called labor
leader and Socialist batter, have also
come to Indianapolis to watch" the
convention.
The National Executive Committee
has issued a call to thel ocals to start
an agitation, against the passage by
Congress of the Root anti-refugee
measure. 1t also favors a party-own-
ed printing plant.
