 bushel bo.r. We have two othei- styles; one has 

 slatted bottom and .sides with solid ends in three 

 l-iieees called tlie .s^ffkd ?*i(.s7(fn/(i.r. The other has 

 solid ends and close bottom and siaes, and is bound 

 with galvanized iron and called the g((lvanizedhou)id 

 box. Tlu'se boxes were devised bj' T. B. Terry for 

 handlina- potatoes, for which purpose nothing could 

 be hiindier. Tlie potatoes are picked up into the 

 boxes in the field and left in them till sold. Other 

 crops, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and apples are 

 being handled in tliese same boxes. They are of 

 such a size that two go crosswise in an ordinary 

 wagon-box. Outside measure is l-t^xl6'oxl2X deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one ujion anotlier. The above cut 

 shows two all-.-',l(itti'd boxes nailed up. and a bundle 

 o'' 15 alongside; KJ of the 15 are in the Hat. packed 

 Inside tlie other two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are included. The .'flatted and ijaloanized hauud boxes 

 are put up in the same way, except there are only 12 

 in a package instead of 15. Each package weighs 

 about 85 to 90 lbs.
