Handy style of wheeibarrow.


A deep wheelbarrow Is more useful
than one built on the old plan, be-
cause 1t will hold more, and the work
CT building such barrow is not much
greater. Any one who owns wheel
and irons belonging to an old wheel
barrow can easily construct one by
first procuring two stout pieces for
the shafts and mortising them together
firmly just behind the wheel. The
next mortise must come 2 inches from
the ground on the legs at A. From this
mortise the floor of the barrow must
reach forward to b, where 1t Is sup
ported by two false legs mortised into
the shafts and reaching within 2 inches
of the ground. The sides may be solid
from the floor up, or il preferred they
may extend only to the top Of the
shafts, and from this point movable
side boards may extend upward. The
only disadvantage in having the body
solid is in being forced to remove most
Of the load from between the handles.

sweet Apple. for Horses.

A quart or two of sweet apples per
day for each horse will be worth more
to 1t than the same bulk Of oats addi-
tional to its regular ration of hay and
grain. The apples are better than any
kind Of roots, and this year they are
everywhere cheap and plenty. Sour
apples are nearly as good, but the
horses prefer the sweet apples when
they can be had. In nutritive value
there is very little difference. There
is much sweet in what we call a "sour"
apple, which is only called 'sour" be-
cause an acid DISCUSSES the sweet 1t
contains.
