INVENTIONS AND APPLIANCES OF INTEREST TO AGRICULTURE.

VCLVERISKR SEr.DKR. The seedbox here is positioned between tho two gangs of rollers, and the seed spouts are aligned so the seed falls in the furrows of the front rollers. The hind

rollers split the ridges and cover the seed. A seed box for grass seed is attached, and its spouts pass behind the rear rollers, where the seed is covered by the drag chains. FEEDING TROUGH. This trough made from one metal sheet after the pattern shown. Under the overturned edge on ono side is a

supply pipe with several outlets. Feed is poured into the funnel outside the fence and passes through the supply pipe into all parte of the trough simultaneously.

GUARD FOR CULTIVATOR. This simple device consists of a rodbent in the shape illustrated, and having one end flattened and curved to clamp on

the exle of the cultivator. Its point goes under fallen com stalks, and raises them out of the path of the wheels.

ROOFING NAILS. Advantages claimed for these nails are that they prevent the edges of composition shingles from curling up, and if

driven in just over the slots of the last course form a guide for laying the next one without the use of a chalk line.

PLOUGH ATTACHMENT. This attachment is for use with the plough known as a “ middle burster,” and is designed to break up the “ pan ” in

the bottom of the furrow. The main bracket of the device clamps on the beam, and the point is carried on a segment pivotally mounted on this bracket.

BERRY BOX. To form a box from this blank it is folded at the upright dotted lines, and the tongue on the left end inserted in the slot of the right side. The bottom flaps

are then turned up and locked together. The four upper flaps may be folded over for a cover or tinned inside to reinforce the box.
