 solid ends and close bottom and slaes. and is bound 

 witli galvanized iron and called X\\ii galvanized hound 

 box. Tliese noxes were devised by T. B. Terry for 

 handling potatoes, for which purpose nothing could 

 be liandier. The potatoes are pick' d 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 these same boxes. They are of 

 such a size tliat two go crosswise in an ordinary 

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

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon another. Tl)e above cut 

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

 of 15 alongside; 13 of the 15 are in the Hat, packed 

 inside the other two, and nails of tlie proper kinds 

 are' included. The slatted and (jalvaitized hound l)oxes 

 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.
