the tool shown in the cut, says Robert
H. Smith, in Gleanings in Bee Culture.
1t is about eight inches long over all,
and consists of two parts, wooden
handle and a magnetized steel shank
with a smooth flattened end to which
the head Of the tack adheres. have
used this tool the past season, and it has
proved itself to be the very thing want
ed, doing it's work silently and pound
ing no fingers.
Besides being very useful for mailing
down no-drip sticks it is the best thing
that have found yet for putting foun-
dation in frames, for with it the tight
ening strip can be forced down, and
small nails thrust into it without tear
ing and breaking the foundation as one
frequently does with hammer.
In use, the tool is grasped in the right
hand by the handle Something like a
screwdriver), and the end the shank is
brought in contact with one Of the tacks
which should previously be scattered
about on top of the bench; then with
the left hand hold the point of the in
strument steady to prevent the tack
from topping over, and thrust down
with the right which firmly seats the
tack in the wood.
The tacks should be scattered enough
so that not more than one will be at
tracted to the magnet at time, an!
the tool held firm and true, with both
hands. when pressing in tack, to pre-
vent it from topping over.
I claim for it the following adyan-
tages:
l. 1t is noiseless. One can work in
the kitchen, or anywhere for that mat
ter, with no annoyance to other peo-
pie.
2. 1t will do the work quicker, pick
ing up the tack. which is always diff
cult job with the small nails used for
this purpose, and thursting it home with
practically one motion, while with the
hammer the tack has to be picked up,
started, and then pounded in.
3. It cannot pound your fingers, they
being out of the way.
4. 1t will last Indefinitely, there being
no hammering done with it to destroy
its magnetism.
Like all other tools. one has to learn
to use it. Who would think of keeping
bees and getting along without ham,
mer? Still, everyone can remember the
damned fingers he got when boy learn
ing to use this same tool.

INSECT DEsTRoYERs.
The Immense Value in This Respect
Which Poultry Are Upon
the Farm.

" There is one valuable advantage to
keeping poultry on the farm that is
generally overlooked, and that is the
vast number of insects destroyed by
them.
If every insect caught by a hen
in day were counted and an esti-
mate made of the number of insects
eaten by a flock of rs hens, it would
show that hens are more useful in tina:
respect than may be supposed.
When busily at work scratching
the hen secures many grubs and
worms, while the larvae of insects also
assist ia providing them with food.
A flock of turkeys will search every
nook and corner of a field for in
sects, and as turkey can consume
large amount of food it will make
away with a vast number of them each
day.
The active guinea is ever on the search
over the fields for insects. 1t does not
scratch, but every blade Of grass is
looked over, and it rarely comes up to
the barnyard to secure food. Its indus
try prompts it to secure it's own food,
and in so doing hundreds of insects are
destroyed.

People with inflamed and aching
Joints, or painful muscles; people who

are constantly asking, what is the best
thing for rheumatism"
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex.
ternal applications is a foolish waste Of
time. The seat Of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delaysi in adopting sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any momentr the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that Of hundreds. He says:
"About q year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. tried number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only asurface in
dication. He adds:
~ had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as a cure
for rheumatism. and when found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
made up my mind that would try
them. Before the first box was gone
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, aud that they were not 80
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up I was entirely tree
from discomfort, and I have had no traces
Of rheumatism SINCE"
The change in treatment proved BY
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 115
Greenwood street. Springfield, Mass:'
had found the true means for the pur1h.
cation and enrichment Of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
Doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills axe sold ~ ~
