but for. a number of tiers placed one
above the other we need something to
prevent the upper ones from sliding

writer in the Market Garden) is made
of white wood or good pine as follows:
Take two side pieces one-half inch

&c inches in length; and two end pieces
one inch thick, five and one-fourth
inches wide, IL inches long. The bot
tom can be made in one or more pieces.
The angle pieces art the ends of boxes,
as shown in accompanying sketch, are
one-half inch thick, fastened with four
screens. After the box is made up,
three strips, each one-half inch thick
and one inch wide, are. nailed across the
bottom. This makes an inch air space
between each two boxes. Three strips

vents this, and is also needed to admit
of better fill. OF course, the dimen-
sions of the box can be changed in each
particular case to. fit the wagon box,
and they win be all right if made SO as
to hold 2, $50 cubic inches.
Another plan to secure stability of
the load by preventing tiers of boxes
from sliding about, is to bore n hole
one and one-half inches deep in the mid
die of tops of ends, into which fit one
half inch oak or hickory pin, leaving it
to stick one inch above; also bore five
eighth inch holes in bottom of ends to
receive the free end of pins. The sides

A POPLAR-TREE HEDGE.

Some Fine Ruins Found In the JungIos of
KlshnIr.
We observed row of enormous pop
lars planted very close together, and
their leaves forming a thick and solid
wall of foliage. These poplars are so
managed as to form a real hedge of
a strength equal to any masonry, and
Infinitely more beautiful. They are so
|splanted that when full grown there
lis not more than two or three feet of
Ispace between them. While very
young, the bark is slit open and the
end of a stout pole is inserted under.
1t, the other end being similarly insert
ed into the next tree; about a foot high
~. up this process is repeated, and so
ySn for eight or even ten feet As the
syoung trees grow, these poles are firm
lly clasped by the bark, which complete
; y incloses them, and the pole becomes,
IN fact, part of the tree. Nothing
fould be simpler or more effectual.
When the trees are well grown, vines
hnd other creepers are trained up them,
ind these keep out inquisitive eyes as
completely as the trees aad poles pre-
Eent access to the garden within. The
poplars grow to an immense height,
and more stately and magnificent
hedge cannot easily be imagined.
The residency at Srinegor is sur
founded by such a hedge, and the row

Few things on the place are in moro
frequent demand, and more generally
useful for various purposes, than good
supply of the ordinary Slated bushel
crates, which one can now buy in the
fiat, at small price, from supply deal
crs and seedsmen all over the country.
We pay about IL cents apiece for them,
and always try to have good number Of
them on hand. Not only that we use
them in gathering and hauling potatoes,
beets, carrots, onions, tomatoes and
other vegetables and fruits besides, but
we also find them handy receptacles
for storing many of these articles in
cellar, barn or garnet. A Slated crate
or box, for instance, is much better for
keeping onions and potatoes than q
barrel. Indeed, the latter is about as
poor receptacle rs there is, especially
for the long keeping of these products.
apples and pears, as also carrots, beets
and other roots, may be stored in tight
bins, pits, boxes or barrels. When we
want to keep different kinds of potatoes,
such as our own seedlings, or any other
Of which we only want a bushel or less
of kind, we put them in the Slated
crates, carefully labeled on the outside,
and pile them up as high as we please.
For very small quantities, however, we
use the cheap peach baskets, or for the
product of true seed the first year, the
ordinary strawberry baskets.
Bushel crates and boxes come also
handy for taking produce to market.

The use of convicts On public roads
has been intimately connectedwith the
growth of road improvement in North
Carolina. As far back as 1867 the state
made provision for the use of convict
labor in road building. The Mecklen-
burg road low is great improvement,
and under its provisions many miles of
the finest roads in the south have been
constructed. Returns from 50 counties
showed an average cost of 30icents per
day for keeping convicts, but by the use
of convicts on the roads the cost has
been reduced to general averages of
"a cents Conyicts are carefully de-

building much as hired men, under a

morning. This novel experiment has
