INVENTIONS AND APPLIANCES OF INTEREST TO AGRICULTURE.

C J. LYNDJ3, MACDONALD COLLEGE, QUE. PR.QV., CANADA. LID HOLDER. The side bar and clamp on this milk can can hold the lid securely while the can is being washed, filled, or emptied,

and prevents it from being misplaced or damaged. The rod also acts as a third handle. —Louis N. Rebideau, Basin, Wyoming.

POWER HAY KNIFE. The lower bar here is either laid on the ground before the stack is built or is driven through it afterward. The upper knife bar

and a cable, and it cuts the stack in two when the cable is pulled by a team or engine.—Frank Cabalka, Geddes, South Dakota.

WAGGON LIFTER. This device is useful for unloading turnips, potatoes, sugar beets, and so on into bins, or for dumping such loads as sand

or gravel. It has tyro drains with hub rings at the ends and a spreader bar at the middle, and it is raised by an overhead tackle.—Ghauncy L. C. Magee. Chicago, 111.

MILK BOTTLE HOLDER

This handy holder is of interest to those who run nrilk routes and also to those who take the milk. It is made from a

single piece of wire, and is screwed to the wall in such a position that the bottle is less liable to be soiled or broken.— italph A. Call, Manchester, New aami)shire.

BALE HOOK. The “numerous points of this hook penetrate the bale, bag or box, a short distance only, and spread the strain over a

considerable area. As a result, they take hold and let go quickly and do not damage the container.—Harcourt C. Leadley, New xorx, N.Y. J

CANT HOOK. The long shank of the pick here extends through the handle and is secured by a nut at tile end. It strengthens the handle

and makes it easy to tighten the nick and hook when they become loose through the shrinkage of the wood.—John Willmm Stolle, Ashland, Maine
