For the benefit of the aforesaid women and chil- dren (begging their pardon still again), I would re- mark that nearly, if not quite, all of the nails men- tioned heretofore must be placed right when they are driven, or they will split the wood. If you look at a common nail, you will see that, if set one way, it acts like a wedge, and is sure to split the wood. If set the other way, the wide part goes into the wood first, and the nail gets narrower, the deep- er it goes. THE NEW WIRE NATLS. Now there is a new kind of nails made of wire, that may be driven any way; and, for light work these seem to be a great improvement over the old kinds. When a nail of the old kind gets drawn out a little, or "loose," as we call it, it comes out very easily, but these wire nails, being all of a size, hold their whole length. In the cut, I have shown 6 sizes. They are tougher and stronger, for the amount of metal contained in them, than the old kind, and therefore even though they do cost more by the lb., there are so many more in a lb. that, in reality, they are cheaper. They are used for making all kinds of honey boxes, broad frames, nailing on separators (they will drive through the tin without ha\ing holes pre-\-iously made) and are just the thing for a great variety of purposes in the apiary. The following sizes I have selected as being most especially what the bee-keeper will need for Hives, Frames, Sections, etc. I have had them made of rather smaller wire than those usually found in the market, and for this reason you will not generally find these sizes in the market. As we buy in large lots, we can furnish you, in 100 B). lots, lower than you would be likely to get them directly from the Factory. PRICE LIST OF WIRE NAILS. â Price. THE NAILS WB USE IN MAKING HI
