BUSHEL BOXES. 



The above cut shows our new sijle all flatted 

 hu^hel hor. We have two othei si\les, one lias 

 slatted bottom and sides with solid t nds in thiee 

 pieces caWed the slatted httsliel box. The other has 

 solid ends and close bottom and siaes. and is bound 

 with galvanized iron and called the galvanized bound 

 box. These bo.xes were devised by T. B. Terry for 

 bandlinar potatoes, for which purpose nothing could 

 be handier. The 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 these same l:)oxes. They are of 

 such a size that two go crosswise in an ordinary 

 wagon-box. Outside measure is 14ii'xl678xl2X deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon another. The above cut 

 shows two all-slutted boxes nailed up. and a bundle 

 oris alongside; 13 of the l.i are in the Hat, packed 

 inside the other two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are included. The slatted and (jalvai)ized bound 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.

Pardonable 



Pride. 



? That which a good farmer can take in having the 

 Ijest fenced farm in the county. His city brother 

 witli the best-dressed wife, or fastest horse, must 

 continually add to his investment, while he with his 

 Page fence properly put up can safely " rest on bis 

 laurels."
