A fertile soil is one of apparently

yet such soil can be remedied by a

A GOOD LAND ROLLER.
Edgar L. Vincent Tells How He Made
One.

We had been wanting a land roller,
but had not quite come to the place
where we felt that we could spend the
money for one out of the store. we
had been spending great deal Tor
buildings and felt that to buy ready
made roller Just at that time would be
more than we could stand.
A neighbor who had been longer
in the way than we had stepped to the
front with the question, Why do you
not make one yourself? This is what
we did. Come up and see ours. Ana
we went up. The result was that we
made a trip to the city and out OF an
old scrap-heap fished four wheels that
had done service on moving ma
chimes. They were about the same
size. /as would be essential in such
case. We also bought a steel rod
large enough to fit the holes In the
wheels and some rivets three inches
in length. Armed with these and
few steel drills the same size as the
rivets. we went home and. waiting for
a spell of stormy weather, we tackled
the job.
Il have got you into the scrape and
now I'll see you out" the neighbor
said, and we were very glad OF his
help. The first move was to get into
the mill a cut of hardwood maple log
as long as we wished the roller planks
to be. We had them sawed two inches
thick and six inches wide.
1t was not a very hard job to drill!
holes through the rims of the wheel
for the rivets which were to hold the
planks. Two were provided for each
wheel Small grooves had TO be cut
in the planks to fit over the eleva-
tions on the outer surfaces OF the
wheels designed TO keep them from
slipping That was easy. Boring the
holes through the ends of the steel
rod for the lynchpins was the hardest
job we had That was slow work. but
we accomplished it at last. The rod
was slipped through the wheels and
1t began to look quite like a roller.
OF a local wagonmaker we bought
an old moving machine tongue. a
frame of hardwood sca1ting four
inches square was made to set over
the sections of the roller. The pole
was bolted to this. Braces were run
from the frame part way up the pole
TO strengthen II at the turns. A
cover was put over ii >ections. An
other old moving machine attachment
in the form of seat was bolted to
the top and the job was nearly com
plete.
l say nearly" for there was one
thing more that served to make the
roller complete Naturally the mid
die of the roller would be inclined to
fall behind a little while in motion.
especially when a stone happened to
be in the way. This would bend the
shaft and cause the roller to scrape
heavily on the frame on top. We
went to blacksmith and had hook
made of heavy iron to clasp over the
shaft. This was furnished with two
heavy links like the links of n chain.
the whole being bolted to the frame
of the roller. You can see how this
would work When the shaft bent,
the links would straighten out so tina,
the hook would draw on the shaft.
preventing 1t from scraping on the
frame or top.
We have used that roller more than
a dozen years and 1t is all right now.

work we counted as nothing.-Farm-
