the sinfuiness of the waste of such
valuable material irritates his con

little frame that contains a rough
trough about six inches deep, seven or
eight inches wide and five or six iuch-

side he whacks a handful of brush
with corn knife into the proper
length and piles it in this trough.
Across the bottom of this trough is q
piece OF bailing wire with the ends

his trough is full enough he presses
the twigs and sticks together with his
knee, picks up the ends Of bis wire
and with pair OF pliers tightens and
twists the wire about his fagot and
tosses it to one side. It does not take
him long to reduce large unseemly
