BUSHEL BOXES. 



The above cut shows our new-s'yle all-slatted 

 hi(,tlicl box. We have two other ^.yles; one lias 

 slatted bottom and sides with solid ends in thi'ce 

 pieces c/dUed t\n' slatti'dhiishd bur. 'i'lie other has 

 solid ends and close bottom and siaes. and is Ijound 

 with galvanized iron and called t\ie galva)iizedh(nuid 

 h(i.r. These bo.ves were devised by T. B. Terry for 

 handlin-"" potatoes, for wliich purpose nothing could 

 be liandier. The potatoes aie pick, d up into the 

 boxes in the flel<l and left in them till sold. Other 

 crops, siich as cucumbers, tomatoes, and apples are 

 being handled in these same bo.xes. They are of 

 such a --ize that two go crosswise in an ordinary 

 wagon-box. Outside measure is 14J^xl6%xl2>^ deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon anolhcr. The above cut 

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

 0-' 15 aiongsitle; i;f of the 1:5 are in the tlat, packed 

 inside the other two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are in -hided. The slatted and galvanizeil bound boxes 

 are put up in the same way, except there are only 13 

 in a pai-kage instead of 15. Each package weighs 

 about 85 to 911 lbs.

A Safe 



investment. 



In these days of big Bank failures, and lack of 

 confidence everywhere, what can be better than 

 periiiaueiit tarni iiuproveiueuts? You knew 

 your biink was all right, but went early to avoid the 

 rush, and now what will you do with the money? 

 Answer. Build Page fence, and the panic wiU 

 prove a blessing to j'ou.
