Outiit of Log Wagon. 0st Premium. - Tlie bolsters should be one-half inch higher thau the wheels, with holes bored 0;_ inces from top and 0V& inches apart, for the block pins. Have two braces from hind bolster to hounds, uud one from center of front bolster to t'iipling-pole, with chains or braces to keep bolster straight. The king-bolt should be iu two pieces. The lower part should rest on truss bar, oi axle and reach 0 inches from the bottom of the bolster and the other piece from top of lower part, through center brace, to top of bolster. If used in this way the king bolt will never break or work upward out of axle. The blocks should be as wide as bolster, about 0 inches high, and sawed to tit under logs, with irons bolted to blocks and long enough to reach to holes bored in bolsters. Block pius should be made with holes to put strips of leather through eo the blocks may be easily removed when necessary. Two 00 foot chains and one 00 foot chain nre best for loading. One 00-foot chain must have two hooks, and the other chains need ouly one hook each. Any pole as long as the wagon may be used as a bed-pole. Chain it to the outside of one front wheel and one hind wheel. If a bed-pole is used, two short chains may be used to fasten it to the wheels, although the pole can be fastened with one eud of the long chains used ia loading. Any poles about eight feet long and strong enough to bear the log may be used as skids. Chain bed-pole high enough to raise the skids a little above the wheels. When loading logs" down hill a pole, commonly called "dead man," may be leaned agaiust a wheel, and chained to hub or rim of the wheel. This pole is to keep the logs from rolling over the wagon. When no dead-man is handy, one chain may be wrapped around the log, being very careful not to get the chain crossed in wrapping, and if the chain is kept tight when the log comes on the wagon, it will keep the log from rolling over the wagon. When hauling smooth-barked logs, such as beech, it is well to wrap the chain with which the load is bound on. This will keep the log from slipping endwise or rolling. To bind the load, put the hind chain over the logs and around the coupling pole behind the hind bolster and fasten it. A pole small enough to bend easily is put under chain from behind and brought over forward, and fastened by a chain to the coupling pole in front of the hind hounds of the wagon. A small crow-bar can be easily carried in a hole in the hind bolster and will save lots of trouble. A log hook used to roll logs with team should be made to hook into a log without being driven with a hammer. A pin can be driven into hind bolster to carry the hook. A snatch block will save the horses many a hard pull. There are several ways of holding the skids while loading, but I consider the bed-pole best for beginners. Paoli, Ind. E .L.
