SLED FOR CORN sHocKs-sTUBBLE CUTTER.
pin of wood holds the plank tight
against the shoulder on the crosspieces
Three more crosspieces of, say, IL by
or 2 by inch stuff are used on top of
the runners. These fit in notches cut in
the runners and extend far enough to
hold on each side of the sled an inch
board about six inches wide. The rum
ners may be about four feet apart and
the crosspieces extend nine inches on
each side This makes the sled five and
a half feet wide. but the width may be
adapted to the length of the corn in
the shocks. A stake or standard three
or four feet high at each corner com
pletes the sled. Round off the bottom
the sled will turn more easily and
draw with chain and spreader.
In addition to the foregoing an Ohio
Farmer correspondent describes the
other devices illustrated as follows:
When the corn is large, it is usually
cut high en- the stalks to save the
weight and bulk Of the surplus fodder
Unless shredded the bottom part of the
stalk is not Of much feeding value any
way and is best left in the field The
large stubble, However, is very trouble
some when preparing for seeding or
even when huskins the corn in the
field, and the device shewn in Fig. 2
is intended fer use in cutting of the
stubble clese to the srsund. Make V
shaped frame of inch boards four or
five inches wide. Nail the frame on a
couple of . by iHch scantlings which
serve as runners, using crosspiece of
the same material as the runners at
the rear to hsld it securely Frem an
cid crssscut saw or any piece of thin
steel that may be found available make
tive blades which belt en- the frame as
illustrated. Have the blades ground
sharp en- their cutter edges and let them
project enc and half OF tive inches
freM the boards. Draw it by an iron
ball or chain, to which attach sim
gletree fer the horse A bow shaped
handle may be put ON at the rear to
lift the contrivance about with if it is
thought necessary. Make the frame
wide enough to cut two rows.
For hauling the husked fodder to the
stack or shed there are several good
homemade racks in use for sled and
wagon, and as rule every farmer has
his own way for handling the fodder
with the least werk. For ourselves we
consider the low wheeled and broad
tired wagon with simple low rack the
best ON which to haul the slower, but
many haul on sled, and where there
is but enc man to do the work sled
is always used. Fig. 8 is a rough
sketch of simple method of arranging
a sled fer fodder hauling. Make sim
pie rack of rough boards and strips,
the same as is often done for hauling
small loads of straw about the stable
in winter. Procure two scantlings or
peles eight or ten feet long. Cut a
