The above cut shows our new-siyle all-datted 

 husMl box. We have two other styles; one has 

 slatted bottom and sides with solid ends in three 

 pieces called the slatted hut<In:l hox. The other has 

 solid ends and close bottom and sicies, and is bound 

 with galvanized iron and called the gal oanizedhound 

 hiix. These bo.xes were devised by T. B. Terry for j 

 handling potatoes, for which purpose nothing could 

 lie handier. The potatoes are pickrd up into the 

 boxes in tlie field and left in them till sold. Other i 

 crops, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and apples are I 

 being handled in these same boxes. They are of ! 

 ■such a size that two go crosswise in an ordinary 

 wagon-box. Outside measure is 14i^xl6%xl2X deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon another. The above cut 

 shows two all-slatted boxes nailed up, and a bundle 

 f)' 15 alongside; 13 of the 15 are in tlie flat, packed 

 inside the otlier two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are included. The slatted and galvanized hound boxes 

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

 in a package instead of 15. Each package weighs 

 iibout 85 to 90 lbs.
