HAULING MANURE WITH TWO WAGONS
There is an important gain Ia busy seasons
of the year land when is it not busy on
the farm p, in having two aud even three
men with two wagons to every team when
hauling manure from the barnyard. am
always provoked when L see one man load
ing wagon, drawing it quarter or half
mile, unloading it and returning. lu this
way one man with a team may haul eight
or ten loads day. Add another man
and you increase the number TO fourteen
or fifteen. Tho true way is to get two
wagons, take off the boxes and have wide
boards for the bottom aud sides. Two
men load one while one is driving to the
field and unloading 10 heaps from the side
of the wagon, with common potato hook
clawiug it down from the top. After two
or three heaps one of the bottom boards
are turned over, the wagon is drawna few
steps further and the whole is dumped. In
