HOW IT IS DONE.

Gleanings, in Bee Culture, is made up
of an ordinary piece of glass tubing
that can be obtained at any drug store,
perhaps IL inches long, and a short
length of one-half inch rubber tubing
just right to slip over the glass tube
The other end of the rubber tubing is
plugged up. The glass tube is bent in
an alcohol flame, the end brought down
to small orifice. This any druggist
can do for you if you will show him the
illustration. To operate, squeeze the
rubber tube in the hand while the glass
tube is immersed in pan of hot wax
Release the pressure on the globe, when
the wax will flow up into the glass
tube. Next draw the open end of the
tube along the edge of foundation
where it comes in contact with the top
bar. While drawing the tube, increase
the pressure on the rubber handle, fore
ing the hot wax out in a fine stream.
This principle is all right, but we do
not find it as convenient to handle as
our regular Van Deusen fastener with
an orifice in the handle that regulates
perfectly the flow of wax l might say
that within II months we had made
change in the Van Deusen method of
manipulation. The hole for the air.
vent is put in the handle, so that there
is no danger of burning the fingers, and
the tube is made of drawn brass. This
is cheaper to make (sells about the same
price,, and in our experience it gives
a more even flow of wax. The Griffen
tool, above shown, requires uniformly
increasing pressure on the rubber ham
die, otherwise the wax will not run out,

One Bee Tree

In June last we cut a bee-tree. The
bees, though considerably scattered
about by the tree breaking when it
struck the ground, were hived and at
once went to work. When we went
after them, however, the hive was
empty. In passing the spot four
months later we noticed been flying,
and found the swarm under a portion
Of the tree. They had built a number
of combs, foot in depth, and had con-
siderable brood and honey, all out
in the open air.

in life when woman's great change
may be expected.
These symptoms are all just so many
calls from nature for help. The nerves
are crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was prepared to meet the needs
of woman's system at this trying
period of her life. 1t invigorates and
strengthens the female organism and
builds up the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried thousands of women
safely through this crisis.
For special advice regarding this i'm
portant period women are invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
and it will be furnished absolutely free
of charge.

pound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs.

Good Drinking Fount.

A good drinking fount for little
chicks is made by filling a shallow
crock or pan with pebbles about the
size of hickory nuts or as large as
walnuts, and then filling with water.
The chicks can drink between the
pebbles, but cannot get wet or drown.
The vessels should be scalded out two
or three times a week.-Commercial

THE TURN OF LIFE
A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many
Dread Diseases-Intelligent Women Prepare
for 1t. Two Relate their Experience

The "change of life" is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely TO become active
and with a host of ner-
vous irritations, make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their,
destructive work.
Such warning symp-
toms as sense of suffo-
cation, hot flashes, head
aches backaches. dread
of impending evil, timid-
ity, sounds in the ears,
palpitation of the heart,
sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipa-
ton, variable appetite,
weakness and inquie-
tude, and dizziness. are
promptly needed by in
telligent women who are
approaching the period

THE INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION

There can be no doubt that tn
industrial organization, called thu
Cotton Growers Association, is
rapidly spreading over the entire
cotton belt, gaining momentum as
it goes. AS our civil government
represents the interests of the en-
tire population Of the United
States, so will the Cotton Grow
ers' Association represent the in
terests of the people OF the cotton
growing States. 1t means a bring
ing together Of the business inter-
ests for the purpose Of fighting
the speculators-the men who
bring ruin upon all dependent
upon cotton.
1t may take two or three years
to perfect the organization, but
there should be no discourage
ment. 1t takes time to thorough
ly unite such an army, represent
ing as it does such large and va
ried business interests.

Company, in which the Kansas
City Star sums up the situation as
follows:

/ ellie as $500, 600 to fight the Standard
iii company will surely cause John
D Rockefeller to pur with sanity
motion and satisfaction. Following
MS alleged habit in moments of
spiritual exaltation, he may even
throw up in pious glee that little soft
nat which rests as a nimbus on his
anointed head
Now, it is true that more people

With Rockefeller in the opinion that

nent which may not exceed the income
IF the Standard Oil autocrat for a
single day is to be rated as doubt
full experiment. But, granting that
It is. Kansas is the place to try it
out, First things are distinctly in
its line. Kansas has whole string
of them, and most of them turned out
tolerably we'll.
But what will amount to vastly more
than the mere success or failure of a
state oil refinery in Kansas will be
effect on public sentiment of the Stan
iard's boycott in that State. You can |
10 lot of things with money, but You |
can't scrape enough of it together to |
ouy public sentiment. Mr.. Rookie |

ervative American may not incline
ondly to the idea Of Socialism which
he proposed state oil refinery in Kan
as embodies. nobody is likely to lose
light of the fact that the Standard Oil

Of a similar stripe are
