A Mandy Wagon Box.

From the Farmers Review: We are
using on our farm a form of wagon
box that is handy and substantial as
well. 1t takes the following material
to make it, all dressed and painted.
Two stills 2x6x12 feet. Four pieces
2x4x3 feet for cross sleepers. Thirty
six feet unmatched inch boards for
floor. Eight clips made from ZIG
iron rod with threads cut and nuts
fitted. These clips Q inches long and
used to fasten cross sleepers to under
side of stills. Eight socket clips pur-
chased from hardware store or may
be made from wagon tire iron. These
clips are 15sx3 inches on inside, and
are bolted to outside Of stills to re-.
ceive the 2x3 standards on side
boards. Eight standards zxSx1s
inches. Two sideboards 1x12xl2
feet. Above standards are bolted to
these boards, and boards are cIeated
at each end TO receive endgates,
which completes the bottom bed Is
inches high and 10 feet long and win
hold twenty-five bushels Of ear corn.
BY adding ten-inch sideboard IS
bushels Of corn can be hauled. II
win take a box Of nifty carriage bolts
%x3h inches and three pounds OF
penny nails to complete the box,
Material for same costs $500 dressed
ready to make up including hard
ware and extra sideboard, and S10.5O
made up and painted. We call this
box the "knoekdown box because II
can be taken apart 20 remove from
the wagon and be stored away In the
dry handily when not in use. Geo

The Battle With insects.

From the standpoint of both the con.
sumner and producer, the battle with
insects is a serious one. The man in
existence of the predatory insects,
but he has to pay for what they have
eaten in the larger price for farm
products. So, unwittingly, the con-
sumner is paying cash board for all
the insects that prey upon farm crops.
So all are interested in the outcome of
the battle. Could all destructive In
sects and fungi be eliminated, the cost
of all kinds of fruits and vegetables
would be very much lower than they
are at the present time. The producer
would be direct and the consumer
an indirect gamer from this. Few
stop to consider the immense losses
caused by insects. Thus, in a recent
report on cotton in 50 counties of
Texas Prof. F. w. Mally estimates
the loss from the cotton boil weevil
to have been over $S,O00,0O0. The
boil worm caused a further loss of
nearly $5,000,000. In 1901 the loss due
to the boil warm that year was placed
at 10 per cent Of the crop, or over
S26,OO0,0O0. This is for one crop in
one state. The loss to the cotton crop
of the country that year was put at
$35,00O,000. But when we consider
the losses in all the states and among
all crops it becomes matter of hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually.
The efforts of the horticulturist to
check insect inVasions are. therefore
Of the greatest importance. At the
present time it is a scattered fight
with uncertain results. AS intelli.
gence increases, however, the battle
will become more orderly and the at
tack better directed. Ultimately the
fruit grower win win and his insect
foes viii be well nigh annihilated. In
some OF the sections of Europe that
were once infested by mosquitoes the
draining Of the land and it's general
occupancy for farming purposes has
well nigh banished that insect. It's
breeding places have been closed 10
It. We may expect to see the same
thing occur with many OF our most
destructive insects, Their breeding
places win be broken up and their
hiding places destroyed. This win be
long step in the direction OF fnaI ex.
tirpation.
