When it is desired to use a ladder
where there is any possibility of it's
slipping, as, for instance, upon

structed that it will hold, says a writer
in the American Agriculturist. A
pair of sharp spikes properly driven
into the lower end will prevent it's
slipping, and is, perhaps, the simplest
method, but often this is not desirable,
as such ladder will injure a floor.
