plant cucumbers, melons, squashes,
metoes, etc. One barrel will be
enough of each kind r.-
over the large hole, where you will
pour in water until it runs out of the
holes you have made, and which will
prevent the earth from filling this large
hole up. Range the barrels around
your yard, and plant your seeds. Keep
the barrels filed with water up TO the

for rapid, healthy growth-air, heat.

Invention, for Us,loadibg Ear@Cor.,,

The labor Of unloading ear-corn from
the wagon has been greatly lessened by
an invention, now generally adopted at
the principal corn buying stations in
Illinois. 1t consists of a platform, from
"a to 80 feet long and from IA to Is feet
wide, and elevated alongside the
eorn.cnb to the height of the caves of
the crib, say from 10 to - feet: This
platform is supplied with al easy ap-
prosch at one ana, and a departure
equally easy at the other. In the mid
die OF the platform is trap door a few
inches wider than the whole width Of
the wagon, from outside of one wheel
to the outside of the other, and in
length half that Of the wagon box.
This trap -do8f connects With the
eoff-erib by a shute. q The load
is, , weighed; driven up the APP
proaeh to the platform, with the hind
wheels as near as may BIZ over the CEN
tire of the trap. A light blow of the
foot raises the latch of the trap. and
down goes the hind end of the wagon
Swinging on its transom bolt, the fore

started, the hind-wheels lifting easily
out of the trap; and 5Soes on down the
extend of the gaDgway. A lever is
moved, the trap resumes its place, the
latch catches, and the platform is ready
for another load. T Formerly 1t was us
