TELEPHONES FOR FARMERS

To make good, serviceable tele-
phone, from one farm house to
another, only requires wine and
two cigar boxes. Firat select YOUR
boxes and make hole about half
an inch in diameter in the center Of
the bottom of each; put in the
houses you wish to connect; then
get five pounds of common iron
stoye-pipe wire, make a Loop in one
end and put it through the hole in
your cigar box, and fasten it with
nail; then draw it tight to the other
box, supporting it, when necessary,
with a stout cord. You can easily
run your line into the house by
boring a hole through the glass.
Support your boxes with Stats nail
ed across the window, and your
telephone is complete. The writer
has one that is 200 yards long and
cost forty-tiye cents, that will carry
music when the organ is PLAYING,
which is located thirty feet away,
