RACK FOR HAULING.

Roomy afidt Handy Bed For Coaveylng; St-

lagc fetid Fodder.

The author of "Barn Building" Bays; By the use of the old self rake. reaper for cutting in the field and conveniently equipped wagons for hauling, corn can be put into the silo for from 50 to 75 cents a ton, and there trill be no more hard work connected with it than there would be in harvesting a clover or grass crop.. At the silo filling time, when all the haybeds, trucks and racks are in demand at once, a device like the one below will enable the farmer to press any ordinary farm wagon into service for this purpose. The cut is copied from "Barn Building."

RACK FOR DRAWING FODDER CORK.

. Mr. Sanders describes it as follows.: It is made of 2by 8 plank, 16 feet long, one end of each being placed on top of the forward bolster. The other ends pass under the rear axle and are chained or bolted up tight to it. These two pieces make the foundation of the rack. The wagon is coupled out as far as these planks will allow. On top of the plank atfe placed four crosspfeces equally distant from one -another, as shown in the figure. These crosspieces are 2by 4 and should be 7 feet long. Upon these axe laid inch boards parallel with the wagon. The load is, of course, placed wholly in front of the rear wheels, but the rack is large and low enough to enable a man to put on a ton of green t corn from the ground without haying to- climb upon the load or hand it to a second person to deposit.
