FARM DUMPING SLED.

sions thought most suitable for the
object in view, little longer than
broad, however, in all cases. Put a
2 by 4-inch crosspiece on bottom OF
box near the center. Round off the
projecting ends of this cross-piece to
fit in the tops of rear uprights of run
ners. Put another lighter cross-plece
on bottom of box in front of the other,
at right point to have its projecting
ends rest in the top notches OF the
front uprights. Over the ends OF the
center cross-piece, that rest in the
rounded notches, put iron straps or
clips to prevent the ends OF cross
piece from moving out OF place and
vet allow them to turn in the notches.
The front of box can now be raised,
the center cross-piece on bottom act
ing as pivot by reason of its rounded
ends.
A framework is put inside of the
four uprights, extending under front
of box and being braced as is shown
in the illustration. To keep box
from dumping while the sled is being
loaded or in transit, the front end is
fastened down to this framework by
hinge-hasp and staple, such as are
used to hold shut the lid of chest,
door, etc. If the cross-piece which
acts as pivot is placed little in front
of box center, the sled when evenly
loaded will dump itself as soon as hasp
is disengaged; if a little to the rear
OF center, the front of box will have

DUMPING BOX INVERTED.

to be raised by hand when desiring to
dump it. The exact location of the
pivot cross-piece will, therefore, de-
termine the ease of dumping, and the
matter may be settled to suit the
wishes of the builder of sled.
When the box is in its horizontal
position and the hasp is fastened, in
sert wooden or other pin in the hasp-
staple in the place that would be oc-
cupied by paddock were the hasp used
as a door or lid latch. Make an end
gate at the rear of box. In Fig. 2, A
shows the box inverted in order to ex-
plain fully the manner of applying the
supporting cross-pieces.
While this kind of Q dumping box
could be used on any size of sled so
far as the main idea is concerned, it
would not be satisfactory if box were
made too large, as the increased height
of uprights in this case would make
the sled inconvenient to load and han
die. On sled of size adapted t1P
one horse ordinarily or two horses ri
case of being loaded with very heavy
material, the sled is very satisfactory.
It is especially convenient to have this
sled stand where the manure from the
stable can be thrown into the box, and
when full, hitch on the team and haul
it to the field and dump it,. G.. Ais

HANDY DUMPING SLED.
Tor Hauling Manure and Dirt the De-
vice Here Described Will Prove
q Great Convenience.

The illustration, Fig. 1, shows a
dumping sled for one or two horses, a
convenience that will be much appre-
ciated by many for hauling manure,
dirt, etc. Take two pieces of S-inch
plank for runners, which connect with
two cross-pieces of 2 by scantling
1nortised into the planks. On inside of
each runner, nail or bolt securely at
required distance apart, two uprights
of about ~ by 5-inch material. The
distance apart and length of these up
rights will be dependent upon the
length of the sled-box. Gouge out

two rear uprights and make square

Enormou. wheat Export..

The exports of wheat are UMPIRE

600 bushels, in wheat and -four, have
been exported, 16s,o19,71s bushels of
wheat and 17,612,7s4 barrels of -four,

promises to be 260,000,000 bushels.

Cure for Feather Pulling.


It is seldom that a whole flock of
fowls will moult at the same time.
What is frequently mistaken for moult-
ing is feather pulling-fowls in con-
finement and which have little or no
exercise, being sometimes addicted to
the vice. When they pick their own
feathers the cause is lice; that is, the
kind of lice that eat the feathers. The
remedy is to dust the fowls once day
for week with fresh Dalmatian in
sect powder, or with some of the ad-
vertised slice killers" OF course when
hens are losing their feathers, or are
annoyed by lice, they will not lay, and
the farmer or poultryman should en-
deavor to get at the root Of the trou-
ble.-Midland Farmer.

There are also thousands of people, who,

F.mou. writer's Comment,

During the winter months l live
in Arkansas. I may safely say that
good toll roads through that state
would be worth more than gold
mines to it's inhabitants. It is a
state where almost every kind OF
fruit and vegetable can be cultivated;
but the lack of good roads does al
most as much to hinder market as
the general climate does to help

Good Ro.d. and Churches.

Better roads often mean better
church attendance. It is not without
significance that the Jews were COM
manded to prepare the way of the
Lord" To gather out the stones"
and to "take up the stumbling
blocks" may be a duty in literal
as we'll as a fgurative sense. The
invitation: "Let us go up to the
house of the Lord" would be often
more effectual if it were not so diff
cult thing to get there.-Rev. D. f.
