Bird Netting 



TO PROTECT 



FRUITS, 



VEGETABLES, Etc. 



What is more ex- 

 asperating than to 

 anticipate a liberal 

 picking cf some fruit 

 to find when you 

 reach the garden that 

 your bird neighbors 

 have been there be- 

 fore you and con- 

 sumed or destroyed 

 the ripest and choices, 

 berries, grapes or 

 cherries, of which 

 some birds are vora- 

 ciously fond. Let- 

 tuce and peas are 

 often ravaged by 

 birds; even flowers are not immune from their attacks, and they revel among 

 some plants ripening seeds. All this may be obviated by shutting the birds out 

 with bird netting. This is good quality cotton netting of 1-inch mesh, and 

 comes in 20-foot and 30-foot widths and of reasonable length. Price, $2.00 per 

 100 square feet. 



THE MULTITOOL 



The Multitool Consists of 5 Reversible and 

 Interchangeable bl ides, combining 18 cutting 

 edges, together with a Universal joint at the 

 end of a 5 foot handle. 



The Universal ball and socket joint makes 

 a possible adjustment of the handle in any 

 direction up to 50 degrees from the vertical, 

 considering the blade as a horizontal plane" 



The adjustment of the handle is accom- 

 plished by placing the foot on the blade, turn- 

 ing the handle one-half turn to the left, which 

 loosens the ball and socket joint. Then the 

 handle can be swung to the desired position 

 and made rigid again by tightening the han- 

 dle to the right. 



Changing of blades is accomplished by re- 

 moving one screw. 



Total weight of the handle and 5 blades is 

 3 pounds. 



The blades are made from Sterling, 85 point 

 carbon steel, tempered in lead and oil, making 

 the blades hard yet exceptionally strong. 



When used for cultivation the saw tooth 

 construction cf the blades cuts all the weeds 

 with very little resistance and leaves the sur- 

 face of the soil in an exceptionally satisfactory condition. 



One man with a Multitool will accomplish twice the work of one man with 

 a hoe. Price, $5.00.
