The Geneva Bushel Crate. -Few improve- 

 ments in the way of labor, time and money 

 saving devices have been handed down to the 

 farmer of late which embody so many really 

 practical advantag^es, considering cost, as are 

 found in the Geneva Bushel Crate for the hand- 

 ling; of farm prodnce. Its adaptability, con- 

 venience, durability and saving" features are so 

 plainly evident that the wonder is it was not 

 thought of long- ag'o. Its usefulness is unlimi- 

 ted, serving- as it does every purpose for which 

 a basket can be used and every purpose fur 



which a basket cannot be u-ed, at a much le^s 

 cost. For slorape purposes it is invaluable not 

 only for convenience of handling-, but because 

 of the ventilating features it atYords, reducing 

 spoilage to the lowest limit, making it far pre- 

 ferable to barrels, bins, or the conventional 

 pile in the corner of cellar or lield. 



Being made of a regulation size suited to fit 

 the ordinary wagon-box, a good-sized load can 

 be hauled with comfort and convenience. The 

 saving in unloading is an item which alone will 

 pay for its cost in a short time. In picking, 

 gathering and marketing apples, potatoes, 

 peaches, corn, onions and other fruits and veg- 

 etables, the tieneva Bushel Crate certa'nly com- 

 mends itself to the eye of the practical farmer 

 as an article of utility he cannot well afford to 

 be without, especially when the low cost is con- 

 mpared to that of the ordinary 



These crates can be brought out to proper 

 lengths, packed in bundles, ready for nailing 

 together, and the farmer can do his own car- 

 penter work during dull or rainy seasons, and 

 thus save considerable money. Prices on vari- 

 ous quantities can be had on request of the 

 makers, and any further information desired. 

 Address the (ieneva Cooperage Co., Geneva, 

 Ohio. We might add that in 100 lots the mate- 

 rial costs about eight cents per cratel Please

 is pound in handsome cloth, with gold letters

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Price, $1.00.
