II Bridges Built Over User

The situation was rendered stu more
difficult by the presence within the
saucer Of a large number Of waterway:
that must be crossed by means OF
bridges which might at any moment be
destroyed by gunfre. This difficulty,
however, was overcome by a brilliant
feat OF the British engineers. who
threw seventeen bridges across the
waterways for the advancing troops IN
the face Of terrific gunhre. Similar and
equally remarkable work was done by
the French engineers, who were
forced 70 bridge the User for their at

Lime SPREADER
MADE AT home
Farm Equipment Is Not Com
pIete Without One Ready for
Immediate Use
MOST LEGUMES NEED LIME
This Method of Making q Lime
Spreader Can Be Adapted TO Any
Tennessee Farm--Its Use VIII Make
More Crops Grow.

(By j. c. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University OF Tennessee, Knox
yille.)
One may well think now about the
farm equipment for the next year.
Lime distributors should be made a
part of this equipment, and If you de-
eide to buy or make one you will want
to do so early
The best distributor is the regular
two-horse machine, which is eight feet
wide, holds ten bushels of limestone,
and costs $45 retail Where four or
five or more men club together and
buy one of these machines, they are
not SO very expensive.
Where only a small part of lime is
to be put out, the one-horse distrib-
utor, which does the work about half
as fast as the two-horse spreader, is
very satisfactory. This model costs
about SIS retail.
You Can Make One.
II one has a knack for making
things, 1t is quite possible to construct
good spreader out of material which
may be found on almost any farm.
Make a hopper similar to that of
any ordinary grain drill, except that
1t should be feet long, with sides
and top IS to "a inches wide. Let the
! bottom be inches wide in the clear
and cut in 1t row Of oval holes. one
| inch wide two inches long and eight
| inches apart. Make a false bottom
with holes in it of the same size
| and shape as those of the main bot
tom and so spaced that they will regis.
ter Let this false bottom slide loose.
| ly under the hopper, moving upon
SUPPORTS made by leaving a space for
1t above bands of strap iron, which
should be carried around the hopper
every two feet to strengthen it, Both
bottom pieces should be of smooth,
seasoned wood. seven-eighths of an
inch thick and we'll oiled or painted.
To the lower strip rivet a V-shaped
arm, extending an inch in front of the
hopper, with half inch hole in the
point of the V, in which drop the end
of a strong lever, boiling the lever
loosely but securely to the side of the
hopper, three or four inches above the
bottom Let the lever extend six or
eight inches above the top of the hop
per, and fasten to the side of the hop
per guide of strap iron, in which the
lever may move freely back and forth.
The object of this lever is to regulate
the size of the openings by moving the
bottom plate. Make a frame for the
hopper with tongue to it, similar to
the frame of an ordinary grain drill.
