A ARobinson Crusoe wheelbarrow


rhe sailor who made this wheel
barrow was cast on an island where
he knew he would have to wait for
some time before ship was likely
to take him off, So in the meantime
he had to provide himself with food
and shelter. This was not difficult,
for the wreck of his little vessel was
clese by on the beach. But carrying
the material out Of it and well to the
beach. where it would be safe from
tides and storms entailed much labor,
so he set to work to make wheel
barrow. He took flour barrel and
a soap box that had washed ashore,
and, with hammer and nails from
the wreck, he soon finished a per-
fectly practical wheelbarrow.
This is the way to do what he did:
Take the two heads out of q barrel
Do it carefully, so that the wood shall
not be split. Now lay these two heads
on top Of each other, in such q man.
ner that the cracks in the upper one
will be at right angles to the cracks
in the lower one. The idea, Of course,
is that the grain Of the wood shall
be balanced so that whatever way the
strain may come the wheel will not
split under it. -.
Having placed the two heads care
fully together SO that they are ex-
actly true, nail them to each other
with short nails, driving some in
one side and some in the other. In
figure 5 the dotted lines show how
the head that is underneath should
lie in relation to the top one.
After the two parts have been firmly
nailed together so that they will not
YIELD take plane and carefully
smooth off the edges Of the wheel
that has been thus made, so that ii
will be perfectly round. Be careful
to plane only a very little at one time
A good way to make sure that the
wheel is true is to draw circle OF
| just the size Of the wheel. You car
make it with piece Of a string and
nail for a compass. Then you car
| lay the wheel on the drawing from
time to time to compare it until it il
perfect.

Get a bottle with wide opening and
closesit with cork in which a glass
funnel is inserted. Close all creyices
with shellac. Fill the bottle half way
with water, in which you drop the two
powders belonging to q seidlitz pow.
der. The carbonic acid gas generated
tries to escape through the funnel. But
by placing two or three small balls
made of cork in the funnel the gas
can escape only little at time, as
one Oh the other Of the little balls will
keep the opening of the funnel closed
until the pressure Of the gas becomes
strong enough to force the ball up. In
such way part Of the gas escapes.
the pressure is relieved, and another
ball closes up the funnel opening. This
will keep on until all the gas is ex-
hausted.
This experiment can be made more
effective by painting the balls in diff
ferent colors. Or you can make but
terfiy wings Of tissue paper, which
you can color and fasten to the balls,

Management Of Roadway.

Some farmers appear to forget that
their land extends to the middle of the
roadway, and that they have rights
and duties in connection with the road
sides. It is common to find by the
wayside the largest weeds in the neigh
borhood. They have had it all their
own way, and this has been to rfpen
q large crop of seeds. ( Such neglect
OF the roadside is great mistake, and
it not only gives a neglected appear
ance to the roadway, but is a means 81
pr0pagating weeds that do much DAM
age to the crops In the adjoining fieldsj
It does not matter how clean the cult
waited crop may be kept If weeds are
left to grow just over the fence. 1t is
too late now to do more than oollect
and burn these. but in doing this the
seeds should be killed to make the
work of subduing these pests Less bur-
densome' in the future, beside adding
to the attractiveness of the roadway.

Straw and Stalks For Bedding.

Straw is much more valuable than
may be supposed. It does not pay to
haul it to market, as the labor would
detract from the profit, but outside of
it's use as food for stock straw is an
excellent absorbent of liquid manure.
To derive the best results from straw
when it is used for bedding and ma
nurc it should be cut fine with an en-
silage cutter While the whole straw
in the stalls answers the purpose well,
yet it does not possess the power or.
absorbingSt the liquids until it is broken
up. When passed through the cutter
it is made fine instantly, and is them
almost equal to dry dirt. The same
may be said Of shredded corn stalks.
It is of more advantage to pass Them
through the shredder than to throw.
them out to be trampled, as they can
be also used with the cut straw in the
stalls. When the fine materials an6
manure are thrown on the heap there
will be no coarse pieces to rot. The
whole mass will quietly decompose,i
and with less loss of the valuable con-.
stituents than when the straw and
stalks are Uncut, while the labor OF
shandling and spreading such. manure'
will be reduced to a minimum cost.
Orange County observer. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1880-1918, 1902-12-25

Now, get two pieces Of wood about
four inches wide, three quarters of
an inch thick and four feet long and
shape the ends into neat, comfort
able handles, as shown in G in figure l.
To the square end of each handle TAT
x, in figure p nail wedge-shaped
block. This block should be made OF
a piece of wood about four inches
square on the sides. One edge should
be pointed, just like the wedge The
other end of it should be about three
quarters Of an inch thick.
Nail this to the square end of each
handle, as shown in H, figure 3.
Now, when you have thus finished
both handles, you will be ready to
make the axle and the wheel blocks.
The axle, X, is merely a piece of
broomstick six inches long. The wheel
blocks are intended to give the wheel
a steady support so that it will not
wobble on the axle. They are made OF
a piece of wood about half an inch
thick and six inches square, and are
nailed firmly to the wedge, as shown
in figure 3.
Now bore holes through the handles,
wedges and wheel blocks to admit
the axle. Then bore holes through
the wheel, but be careful to make
this hole little smaller than the others
for the object is to have the wheel grip
the axle SO firmly that instead Of the
wheel revolving on the axle. the axle
will do the turning in the handle.
After the wheel has been properly
adjusted, the handles will be in just
the position that they are to main
tain in the completed whee1barrow.
All they need are braces to keep them
rigid. These braces are shown in D
and q, figure 2. It is better to screw
these to the handles. Nails are too
likely to work loose after a while.
! After this has been done, all that re-
mains to complete the frame is to
attach the legs F and in figure 2.
These must be strengthened with the
frame r. as otherwise they would

Flowing Under Green Cross.

While we advocate blowing under
green crops, when they are not worth
more for stock food than for manure,
we believe that there are more soils
where this practice may do injury
rather than good. If the coil is light
and sandy, lacking nitrogen. or when
it is stiff and needs to be made more
porous, then almost any green crop is
a good manure for it. Where it Is low.
and wet, and perhaps has toe much
acid in it, heavy crop OF clover or
other green manure will usually be an
injury to the succeeding crop, unless
it is given also dressing Of lime In
some form, and we would prefer to pay
more for good phosphate Of lime or.
fine ground phosphate rock, with an,
addition Of potash. than to use either.
sleked lime or sulphate Of lime. Yet.
in limestone soil we have seen green
manuring work wonders, and so It Win
on land recently cleared, where the,
bushes and brush had been burned on
the ground. Phosphates, potash and
wood ashes may be put on to grow
the green crop. and If used literally
will benefit that and the succeeding
crops. Sowed on the surface and har-
rowed in they do not waste or do any
harm IL the amount Is much more than
one crop needs.-The Cultivator.

There has been a remarkable in
crease in the Filipino population OF
Louisiana in the last two or three
years, says New Orleans dispatch.
When Speaker Henderson said,
few mouths ago, that we need have no
fear of an influx of Filipinos, as there
was not a Filipino resident in this
country, he appearantly overlooked
Louisiana. There have been Filipinos
in that state for half a century or
more; and single colony, that of ST.
Malo, in the parish of st. Bernard,
was 300 strong lorg before Dewey's
victory. An account of this colony
was printed soon after the battle of
Manila bay.
What, however, has not been no.
ticed heretofore, lis the recent large
increase of these Filipinos- Their
number, two or three years ago, was
estimrted at from 700 to 800.
They lived mainly in two settle
ments, one at ST. Malo on the coast OF
Louisiana, where they were fisher
men operating on their own hook, and
catching a large part of the fish sup
ply of New Orleans: and the other on
the Mississippi, where they worked
for Chinese merchants. catching and
drying shrimp for the Chinese market
There is no explanation of the origin
of these Filipino colonies, but it is sur
missed that were esta Sllshed by desert
ers from Spanish vessels. These de-
serters hid in the swawps, far away
