How to Make Bushel Crates.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The standard United States bushel
is the Winchester bushel of Eng
land-a circular measure 1872 in
ches in diameter by 8 inches deep,
and contains 2,15O and 2-5 cubic
inches. It equals II So pounds of
water at maximum density. The
heaped bushel is the Winchester
bushel heaped from outside of
in a cone 6 inches high at
the center and contains 2,748 cubic
inches, nearly, or one busheI one
peck and about IA pints. Ordi-
narily five pecks is reckoned a
bushel in measuring coarse products
like ear corn, potatoes, etc. But the
statutory laws of different States,
and the common law customs also,
differ as to weight and capacity of
a bushel of different products. Look
up your local laws.
There are many patterns and ca
pacities of bushel crates I have seen
also all sorts of materials. Some
make them AXIS inches with 70
inch corner posts, Stats IS inch
thick by pa inch wide, posts / inch
square. Some have two-inch plank
sawed out and then resawed IS
inch thick for side and bottom Stats.
If you do this, a log "A feet 3 inches
long cuts to advantage if you make
your crates 14x17 inches and foot
high posts.
Some use common building laths
which does quite well with 5 Stats
on sides and ends, six on bottom.
I prefer elm posts 1 inch square
by II inches high. Elm holds the
nails well and doesn't split so easily
in mailing. It makes good Stats. So
does Eastwood. Hardwood is too
heavy and splits in mailing. Pine
isn't bad either. I make crates
14x17x12 inches deep two bottom end
Stats 5-8 inch thick to nail bottom
secure, counter sunk II inch on
posts to make outside even; Stats IS
inch thick by PA wide, opening be-
tween top end Stats wide enough to
admit fingers in lifting. They fit
in ordinary wagon box, handy to
handle, and hold enough. They are
one of the handiest things on a
farm. H.

The Influence of Height of Wheels on
the Draft of Farm Wagons.

the OI61G Oh Farm dPOuS
The Missouri Experiment Station
has been conducting a series of ex-
periments to determine the influence
of the height of wheels on the draft
of farm wagons and gives the follow
ing as a summary of the result:
1. For the same load, wagons with
wheels of standard height drew
lighter than those with lower WHEELS.
2. The difference in favor of the
standard wheels was greater on road
surfaces in bad condition than on
good road surfaces.
8. Low wheels cut deeper ruts than
those of standard height.
4. The vibration of the tongue is
greater in wagons-w with low WHEELS.
5. For most purposes wagons with
low wheels are more convenient than.
those of standard height.
6. Wagons with broad tires and
wheels of standard height are cum
bersome and require much room in
turning.
Z. Diminishing the height of wheel
to from 80 to Sc inches in front and
40 to A inches in the rear did not
increase the draft in as great pro-
portion as it increased the conven
fence of loading and unloading the
ordinary farm freight.
s. Diminishing the height of
wheels below 80 inches front and 40
inches rear, increased the draft in
greater proportion than it gained in
convenience.
8. On good roads, increasing the
length of real axle so that the front
and rear wheels will run in different
tracks to avoid cutting ruts, did not
increase the draft.
10. On sod, cultivated ground and
bad roads, wagons with the rear axle
longer than the front me-, drew
heavier than wagons having both
axles of the same length.
IL. Wagons with the rear axle
longer than the front one require
wider gateways and more careful
drivers and are on the whole very
inconvenient and not to be recon-
mended for farm use.
u. The best form of farm wagon
is one with axles of equal length,
broad tires and wheels 80 to SO inches
high in front and 40 to A inches

SEEING THE WESTERN FARMS.

Leaving Washington for a trip
through Colorado, my first day of
travel was one of INDECENT ease and
rest, lolling in an observation car,
as the train sped past the beautiful
mountain scenery of West Virginia,
with the forest cover changing from
green to mottlings of brown, yellow
and red, here and there reflected in
broad reaches of the rivers and
streams. At other times the latter
ran brawling by, turbulent and foam
fecked. In the New River canyon,
the mountain sides are almost per-
cipitate, with occasional bad rocks
and sheer cliffs, pushing through the
tree growth; yet even On these steep
slopes are occasional cabins with lit
tie cultivated patches of corn and
grass, the yields apparently barely
worth the harvesting. The noun
tains would support goats, but moth
ing else.
What a contrast is this to the
broad rolling Iowa farms, seen a
couple of days later! The central
Iowa corn belt promises an excep-
tional yield, for the summers mois-
ture has been plenty and the soil is
deep and black, but the wet weather
of the last week has hurt much of
the grain in the shock and it will
not be marketable as bright corn.
This will result in more than usual
being stock-fed on the farms. l
could not but contrast the lavish
waste of fodder in Illinois, Iowa,
and Eastern Nebraska-miles and
miles and miles of it-with the
Eastern Shore" (Maryland) fod-
dering, where every blade is care
fully saved. But the Western farm
stock is fine; splendid cattle and
strong, glorious farm horses.
Now we are in Western Kansas,
a limitless fiat, covered with short
grass and dotted with bands of graz
ing cattle. The rainfall is scant
here and farming is impossible. Oc-
c~asionally are seen patches of kafir
corn, which will make a fair crop
where corn will fail. A snow storm
has come up contrasting the horizon
and whitening the prairie. During
exceptionally wet years there is
enough moisture to raise a good crop,
as the soil is rich and needs only
water, and in the '8O's a succession
of these good seasons induced peo-
pie to swarm out over Western
Kansas. Thousands of farms were
staked out, and towns rose with
churches, school-houses, and banks.
But these have long since been de-
serted, and here and there an aban-
doned brick building, and other less
substantial ruins, rise out of the
prairie as testimonials to the soils
necessity for water.
The next step westward on the ma
toms checkerboard will be the arid
region with its artificial watering
pots, and abundant yields.
The Nebraska corn fields are WELD

PRoPAGATING scUPPERNoNG
GRAPES.
There are Three Ways, Says Jack John
son, and He Tells What they Are.
of The Progressive Farmer:

Sr6SSIV0 FARMER, our 1FO1SSSOE Oh
horticulture tells us how to propa-
gate S~euppernong grapes; says he
knows a man who gratis them on
Bullace grape roots, which he says
is of the same family. Now, I am
sure there is not a man in North
Carolina that knows better than our
worthy Professor of Horticulture
that propagation of this sort will
not produce pure Scuppernong
grapes. No cross-breeding, either
in the animal or vegetable kingdom,
will produce pure breeds, though they
be of the same family. This is
clearly demonstrated in the human
family or the animal family. Take
the horse and the ass and the cross
breeding either way will not produce
a horse. The English and Muscovy
ducks belong to the same family,
but a cross will produce a. duck diff
fering from either, and a cross be-
tween a turkey and a peafowl makes
a bird that it has not entered the
mind of man to tell what it is.
Returning to the vegetable king
dom, a very sweet apple grated in
the stump of a sour one makes an
apple different from either. Any
one familiar with cleft-grafting
knows that you can continue to
graft in and on the same tree from
the same stock and produce any num-
her of different kinds of apples.
The same is rue of grapes. There
are but three ways known by which
Scuppernong grapes can be propa-
gated and preserve their purity.
One is to buy cuttings. The cut
tings should be Of the last years
growth set in soft, moist, deep soil,
and only n in twenty of these can
be depended upon to live. Second,
the bedding system. Clean up
thoroughly under the vine, take away
the support, and throw the vines
down fat on the ground. Haul dirt
from a ~neighboring hill and cover
ten inches deep. This vine readily
takes root and sends up a great
number of scions. In December, af-
ter the leaves fall, dig up, take these
scions, with sufficient vine and root,
and set them out. Third, secure a
quart of seed from the best vine you
have. Plant these in a trench beside
a wire fence in a row 100 feet long.
When they come up, chop to one foot
apart and cultivate first year. Let
them run up the wire fence the Sec
ond year they will bear. You will
have in this row 80 vines and as
many different kinds of grapes.
Some of these will be of the finest
sort. Some will be white; most of
them will be purple. Save from the
white ones. These have greater vi
tality than those grown from the
old vine, perhaps many hundred
years old. Vines rooted and re-
moved only a few feet from the par
ent vine will bring grapes different
in size and flavor from those pro

New Play ls Very Favorably Received

Theater Arizona by August Thomas
received most enthusiastic reception.
There seems little doubt that il win be
one Of success here. The stalls and the
dress circle were filed with patriotic
Americans but significant and i'm
purtant fact was that the loudest APP
plause came from the gallery and pit.
There was a great demonstration at the
end Of each act ana at the conclusion
Of the piece. In answer 10 cries for the
author the manager Of the Adephl
theater said THE author Is In Amer
lea, but ! will have great pleasure In
cabling him Of this success"
Olive May as Bonita Candy. Vincent
Sewan0 as Lieut. Denton, and Theodore
Roberts as Henry Candy made the
special hits Of the evening
The morning papers devote unusual
space to special criticisms Of Arizona
highly prsIsing both the play and the
acting
The Morning Post says:
"Of all melodramas seen here during
the past three years Arizona Is GER
tainly the one that can be most CONT
IDENTIFY recommended to the persons Of
taste and intelligence. Both the play
and the acting are well worth going to
some trouble to see"
The Daily Mali says; Arizona de-
rlyes much OF It's charm from the clev-
erness Of It's treatment and the fresh
ness OF It's atmosphere TO the English
paygoer"
Most Of the papers notice the vigor-
Gus whrlwind manner In which the
play is acted, and all Of them welcome
this American production.
