LADDER FOR CARRYING HEAVY LOADS.

than short, stout ladder Persons
unaccustomed to carrying heavy
weights, says Richard Jones, will find
it useful. Tor its construction, the
side pieces may be six feet or more in
length, two to three inches wide
and an inch thick. The rounds or
crosspieces may be one foot apart, the
length corresponding to the width of
the ladder. The side pieces should be
of strong, hard wood, free from knots,
and the handles shaved and sandpa-
pered smooth. Such a ladder is FREE
quently used by market gardeners when
removing garbage. Decaying leaves,
stumps, dirt, etc, are shoveled into a
box resting on the barrow, lifted and
carried to the compost heap.-R. j.

inches in size painted black inside.
Stand on it's end and open one
side 8 inches from the bottom,
All above inches closed, set box with
this open side toward you and set the
light in it. Nail a piece to bottom,

place, though it is better in a dark
place. Take such light as you have;
the best Gamblers use common candles.
Take two or three eggs in left hand
and the eggs you candle in right hand,
and hold sideways between you and
the light, as close to the light as you
can, and let it rub against one of the
eggs in left hand; some are quite par
ticular about this, as the eggs reflect
the light through each other; turn the
egg round until you are satisfied you
have tested it. Take strictly fresh
egg as a standard to judge by. If a
place like the vacuum in a mason's
spirit level appears on the upper
side as you turn the egg, it is not
strictly fresh; though if this vacuum is
small and the egg is all right other
wise it may be comparatively fresh. A
dark or black spot indicates a poor
egg; the white of stale eggs also looks
thin and watery. Remember dark
shelled eggs are thicker shelled and do
not candle as easily as white ones. You
