Correspondence: — A letter was read fiotn Mr Huttle, Secretary of the Kukuhia Factory, notifying that his director* desired t<i withdraw from nioni herein p of the associ.ition. Tlie Secrctiiry mfoinied the meeting that nmcc the previous meeting of the association, n lettei had been loccixod from the lailuay .tuthot itios tit leply to an application that had bi-i n made for a .-x reduction oo f ] thr chartrc for a Ciirriago of cheese hy lail tn Auckland, to the effect tli.it a reduction i f 'M (>d pet ton, would bo made on all cheuM! sent for export. A general diicuisitjii entiled upon this question. It \v >s hnnlly resohed on the motion of Mr Geru.ann, tteconded by Mr Tayloi, that the secretary be instructed to wiite to the authorities and a>k that the rebate of rail charge be extended to all chee-ie -ent by rail, whether packed in cases or unpacked, or for pxport or othoiwuo. A letter was also rpad fiom a Mr llejw.ud pointing out tti.it an excellent maiket for dairy produce existed in JSra/.il and othei piutnof South Anieiic.i, and that lie was prepared, under certain teims, to proceed to these countiies and open np a ti.ide in tliese lines. After some di-cu— >ion the Hecretnry was requested to wute and thank this gentleman for his li tter-», but that at present the association did not see their way to take advant.igi of his offer. It was howe\er, decided that the Loan and Mercantile Company, who acted as agents for different factories for the disposal of their produce in London and the other colonies, .should be wnt ten to, asking them to HKC^rtain thiotigh their correspondents what market* weie open in these countiie-, and if the cheese nianufactuied in Waikato would be suitable to meet the loquiioiucnts of tin* parthulai tiade. The rjue-<tioii of getting a quotation for tlnougli freight lioin Auckland to warehouse m London wan aNo gone into. It appeared that in answer ton letter to the Union Shipping Company upon this subject, a reply h,is been lecoMod th.it the rate would bo I*s per ton fiom Auckland to London ])ocks, but, an in addition to this thine ale other charges, such us wli.uf.igu, lighterage, di ck fees, Sec, ke, which together make nearly anothci tl pei ton, it n.^ tliought that it would be more satisfactory to have a definite rate into warehouse lather than be ■subject to probably \.uying l.ites in the-e charges, accoiding to cncum-itance-..— The Kecietaiy was instiuetcd to wnto to various shipping agents asking to bo supplied with a thiouch quotation foi chec-e fiom Auckland delivered into waiehoii^e in London.

Pack youi comb in this, and how or tie it up tightly ; then put the bag into a boiler of hot water, and with something press it well down into the water. As the wax melts it will caeapc tluough the meshes of the bag and me to the sutface of the water, while the dead bees and othei impurities will remain in the bng Skim off the wax, iomelt, and work it into any shape you like.
