DESCRIPTION OF WATER-CASK. 



I have found the following sort of water-cask very 

 useful ; either for common watering, or for the con- 

 veyance of liquid manures :~ 



A pair of old gig-wheels, 4 feet in diameter. A 

 3 6 -gallon cask, 32 inches high. Swing this cask 

 between the wheels by two iron arms, 15 inches of the 

 cask above the arms, 17 inches below them. Or the 

 arms which pass through the boxes of the wheels may 

 be attached to an iron circle large enough to receive 

 the cask, which will rest on the circle by three 

 supports. 



An iron handle to pass over the top of the cask, 

 and sufficiently free from the cask to allow of its being 

 tilted. The handle to take on and off the axle with a 

 hook and screw. 



A pair of old gig-shafts to take on and off the 

 handle. 



A leathern hose, with wire inside, at the lower part 

 of the cask, just long enough, when turned over the 

 cask, to reach the bottom of it on the other side. The 

 hose to take on and off with a screw. A lid, opening 

 with folding flaps, fastened by a bent hasp, which will 

 pass over and secure the hose while in movement A 

 couple of leathern buckets. A hook before and 

 behind the cask, to carry the buckets. 



A wrought-iron bowl, to lade with.
