CR0SSCUT SAW FOR ONE.

Easily Made and Great Convenience
to Have on Any Farm.
II is often convenient to have a
crosscut saw that one man can use
for cutting medium sized logs, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. The one
shown herewith fills the bin very well.
1t consists of blade, u handle, set as
shown, and bow REINFORCED with
wire wound around 1t at various
points. Preferably this bow should be
of we'll seasoned hickory, ash or some
other tough but not too heavy wood

1t is not necessary to have very much
spring In the bow, although some
spring adds rgidity and tension to
the saw, which can thus be run more
easily. The most important points
for the winding are toward the ends,
where the pole Is split by saving to
admit the blade, The pole should be
only a few inches longer than the saw
when laid out straight
