LOW DOWN BARROW.

Ita Capacity Is Double That of the Ordinary Kind. The drawing shows a low down barrow in sufficient detail to enable any one to make a similar one. We think that next to the low down cart it is the handiest thing around the buildings and garden that we have, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. Its capacity is more than double that of the ordinary kind, and the load is much more easily put aboard. It has the advantage of getting into close quarters where the cart would not go, and for use about the feeding alleys, the stable, the lawn and the garden there is hardly anything that will take its place. For the framework get two pieces of hard wood 2 by 2 inches which will, project to form handles on one end and for the wheel frame on the other. At front end of box in rear of wheel a piece of the same dimensions is mor tlsed Into the frame to hold it rigidly and to make the front end of box frame. Pieces 1% by 1% inches are also mortised into the bottom of the legs, both front and back. These form

the foundation for the floor, which should be of three-quarter inch boards. The legs are mortised into the shaft or handle pieces, the front ones resting about three Inches from the ground and the rear ones securely braced, as shown in the cut If desired the sides may be built from the floor solid and straight up. but we find it better to have a permanent bed from floor to top of handles, with removable side hoards to slip on for use in handling bulky stuff. Heavy material, such as bags of fertilizer, large stones, etc., are easily handled with this type of barrow, aB they may be loaded between the bandies directly from the ground. Yon will be wise to lay in your fall supply of clothing and shoes at the big sale, Aug.. 10 to 24.
