The P. T. Denio Co. has 800 of the
famous Vaughan Horse Hoe and
Weeders in course of construction for
the spring trade, and this with their
custom work makes business lively
Mt the shop Mr.. DeniO has recently
got up a piece OF machinery which
greatly simplifes the work. 1t is an
! improved boring machine, an ap-
paratus that bores ten holes at one
time through one and one-fourth
inch hardwood timber, doing the
work more than ten times faster
than the old method. The eveners
used on the hoe require three holes in
each piece and the new machine can
easily get through fifty of these in
side of five minutes. 1t ID certainly
great labor-saving invention.
