NEW LOG SAVING DEVICE.

facilitate the saving OF the log The
details of this attachment are shown.
Says the Scientific American: The at
tachment consists of clamp adapted
to be secured to the handle (A) Of an
ordinary AK. The clamp comprises
two jaws OBJ, through which a bolt Is
passed. The upper end of this bolt
terminates In support. The support
consists Of two parallel arms, between
which roller (O) is mounted to rotate.
The bolt which passes through the
Jaws of the clamp is fitted with wing
nut, and by turning this nut the jaws
may be pressed together on the handle
Of the ak. In use the ak Is driven into
the log, and the clamp is then made
fast with the support. standing YER
tically. The saw is then guided be-
tween the arms OF the support, and
the back OF the saw rests on the roller.
With the saw thus supported and
guided, II may be operated In the
usual manner to saw through the log.
The roller may be mounted near the
outer end OF the support or close to the
jaws. In the former case the saw Will
operate between the roller and the
jaws, and the support must be mount
ed to project downward. In order to
permit of removing the saw from the
support 1t is preferable to support the
saw on the outer side Of the roller,
guiding It in the open slot formed by
the two arms of the support The
clamp is then applied, with the support
projecting upward instead OF down
ward" This useful attachment for
saving logs has been patented by Mr..
Levi Smith OF Marshfeld. Coos coun-
ty, Ore.
A sawhorse for household use may

remembering that by cutting back the
new growth every year on the fruit
trees many OF them can be grown In

You may have one row devoted to
grapevines. another row TO raspber-

other to currants and several rows de-
voted to Strawberries, each row run

horse cultivation. The disposal OF the
rows of apple. peach, pear. plum and
cherry trees can be easily arranged
Plant the rows of trees far enough

small fruits between the rows OF trees
