BUSHEL BOXES. 



Tlie above cut shows our new-style all-tilatted 

 bushel hox. We have two other styles; one has 

 slatted bottom and sides with solid ends in tliree 

 pieces called tlie shitted huxliel box. The other has 

 solid ends and close bottom and siaes, and is bound 

 with gralvanized iron and called the galvanized hound 

 t><).v. These boxes were devised by T. B. Terry for 

 bandlintr potatoes, for winch purpose notliing could 

 be hatidier. 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 tliese same boxes. Tliey are of 

 ■such a size tliat two gro crosswise in an ordinary 

 wag-on-bo.v. Outside measure is 14Ji'xl6%xiaX deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon anotlier. The al ove cut 

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

 o'' 15 alongside; i:} of the 15 are in the tint, packed 

 inside the other two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are included. The slatted and oalvanized hound boxes 

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

 in a package instead of 15. Eacli package weighs 

 about 85 to 90 lbs.

SIX YEARS AGO 



A prominent farmer in Indiana put up lots of 

 Page Fence. Did it suit V So well that his son lately 

 formed a. partnership with the Agent. Kesult! 

 Orders enough for a car load of 2500 rods, right now 

 in the dull times. Competition was nowhere, against 

 positive proof of olficiency and durability. 7-edb

Read what J. 1. Parent, of 

 Chaki.ton, N. Y., says— "We 

 cut with one of your Combined 

 Machines last winter 50 chaflf 

 hives with 7-inch cap, 100 honey- 

 racks, 500 broad frames, 2,000 

 honey-b(jxes, and a great deal of 

 other work. This winter we 

 have doubled the amount of bee- 

 hives, etc., to make, and we ex- 

 pect to do it all with this saw. 

 It will do all you say it will."
