BUSHEL BOXES. 



The above cut shows our new-style aU-alatted 

 bushel box. We have two other styles; one has 

 slatted bottom and sides with solid ends in three 

 pieces caWed the slatted i)Usliclbox. 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 

 handling 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 arc 

 being handled in these same boxes. They are of 

 such a size that two go crosswise in an ordinary 

 wagon-box. Outside measure is 14Ji^xl678Xl3X deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can l)e piled one upon another. The above cut 

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

 of 15 alnngside; 13 of the 15 are in tlie flat, packed 

 inside the otiii^r two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are inrhided. The slatted and galvamzed bouiul boxes 

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

 in a package instead of 15. Each package weighs 

 about 85 to 90 lbs.

Is it for Health 



or Pleasure that 



You Build Fence? 



If neither, then you don't care to do it over right 

 away and should use the J^atj-e Coiierf Sprinir; 

 which is />t>i-77i{iiit"/jt. If well put up. it will last 

 as long as your life.
