BARBED WIRE SLEDGE.
One of the most satisfactory ways to unreel barbed wire is to make a contrivance similar to the diagram. Fasten a short piece of plank to the front end of a sledge.
Bore a 2in hole in this plank, and set the spool of barbed wire on top. Run a piece of gas-pipe, about sft long, through the snool. and let the bottom end rest in the
| hole made in the plank. Attach the sledge to the rear end of the waggon, and have an assistant sit in the waggon and hold the top end of the pipe. If the wire becomes
kinked, the assistant simply lets go of the pipe, and the spool rolls off the sledge without breaking the wire.—" Handy Farm Devices," in the Australasian.
