wheel, and make a frame so it will fit
inside of your bed proper four or five
inches high. Nail the wire screen to
the bottom, and along the sides upon
the wire nail pieces one-inch square.
This keeps and holds the wire from
tearing loose, and allows the sieve to
run freely upon the rollers. The screen
is of about three-eighths inch size. Nail
a cross-piece on top of the frame of the
sieve, and through the center put an
iron pin. Have hole through the pit
man, to slip. on the pin, making it easy
to detach when the sieve needs to be
cleaned. Underneath the sieve is an
elevator or carrier made to run on the
same principle as a straw carrier, ex-
cept that the carrier is made of solid
piece of cloth, heavy muslin or ticking,
with stick every 10 or Is inches tackled
upon to assist the sifted soil up the in
cline. This is run by a belt similar to
a sewing machine belt. 1t elevates the
sifted soil from under the sieve into 4
bushel basket, and when this is taken
away, another basket is put in its place.
At the lower end of the sieve is left an
opening about third of the width of
the sieve, which enables one to clean
out the coarser refuse without remov-
ing the sieve. The screen should be
adjusted by the length of the pitman,
so the end will project six or eight
inches over and beyond the carrier.

SITTING GARDEN SOIL.

Description of an Implement Which Does
the Work Wen.
We don't sift the bulk of the soil
used ON the benches, in fats and in
frames; but we want an inch or two
of the surface fine and nice, and always
run what is wanted for this covering
through a somewhat coarse sieve or
sitter. An ordinary coal ash sitter,
such as one can buy at the nearest hard
ware store, will do well enough where
only small quantities of soil are to be
sifted. For larger quantities we may
arrange larger box, with wire mesh
bottom, sliding over wheelbarrow or,
still better, make a sieve or sitter such
as is shown in accompanying illustra-
ton. The idea was furnished to Market
Gardening by an Ohio man, who de-
scribes the implement as follows:
Take four pieces 2X2N24 inches long
for legs, nail to these at the top six-inch
boards of hard wood, drop the lower
end board so it will let the sieve play
over the top of it, put in rollers at the
lower side of the side pieces for the
sieve to vibrate upon, gear the machine
so that the sieve will shake about five
times to one revolution of the drive
