New Line Called The Sargent
Automatic Clothes Basket
Has Been Taken On
SWAMPED WITH ORDERS
Clothes Baskets Have Legs-C. r.
Sargent OF Grand Rapids Patentee
Is Here Overseeing
Work

The Ballou Manufacturing Company
of Belding has the reputation through
out the world of making the best bas-
kets obtainable anywhere, simply be-
cause they put out the goods whether
in splint or canvas that hold up to the
guarantee every time.
Recently, they have added new
feature To the clothes basket depart
ment by taking on the Sargent folding
leg device, which certainly is wonder
full invention and one which the lady
of the house and the washwoman will
hail with delight. The basket stands
on legs with trip at the handles
easily released or engaged by the fingers
TO adjust them. 1T stands eleva ted TO
convenient height above the ground
when in use on wash day, saving the
lady who is at work the continual
bending over for every garment as in
the old way. 1t also keeps the basket
dry and clean on the bottom, no dirt or
snow TO be carried in the house and so
simple that child can operate it.
When not in use the legs fold up under
meath the basket out of the way so it
takes up no more room than the |
ordinary basket.
{. X. Sargent is the inventor and is |
here placing it on the baskets. They |
sell on sight and already the Company's |
statesmen are swamping the factory
with orders.
Mr.. Sargent says he will soon need |
fifteen or twenty more men TO do the |
work demanded by the increasing
business.

Practical Plan to Destroy stumps.

Saving of time and expense and pro
lection to the soil from injury by burn
ing are the chief features of a plan to
clear stump land recommended by |. M.
Howell, secretary of state of Washing
ton, who thus outlines the method in
letter:
The apparatus required a small en-
CINE, an air compressor, costing about
$25, and two 1A-inch augurs, of differ
emit lengths. The plan is to bore down
straight into the center of the stump
to the pith; fill the hole with kerosene
and ordinary saltpeter, of proportion
of eight ounces of nitre to a gallon OF
oil; plug and leave for a month. Then
| FIJI again with the same mixture and
leave for another month.
Then bore another hole, obliquely this
time, and from a point near the sur
face of the ground upward to join will
the vertical bore. Then start fire OF
dry pieces of wood. Within a few
weeks the stump will be destroyed t.
the last root and without harming
lot of good wood, while the soil viii
not be hurt in the least.
There is no doubt about the practi
cability of the plan. 1t has been trie'
many times and with repeated success
while the cost is within the reach o
all. An advantage in the method
that little attention is required for eac
stump, thus saving the time of tn
clearer. In this way one man can clea
many stumps within a short time. Tn
fact that it does not burn the sol
should particularly recommend tn
method Time and expense can also b
saved. Little or no wood is burnt /
the process. This can be saved for us
in stoves.
A fair trial of this method will col
vince the most skeptical there is
way to clear cut-over timber land g
small cost.
