I was well.riveted with ; a short apple tree limb, .with old boita [ driven in either end, wae'put in tb«> Lpipe and packed eolidly in"gi-avel and '.' ! sand, and an inch board, vpas eewedteut to 4Ht the ends, and nailed after tamping the aand and gravel. Auger hole* bored in either aide of the split handle made that fit nicely; and to ■ strengthen it wire nails were driven, through and bent on both sides. A support to hold) the' tongue or handle off the ground Wae made by hailing an t < eight-inch peg in an auger hoi® at the point where the split stopped, The roller could be pushed or pulled laiek and forth, over and across, and did most effective worlt. ■■ -Jm The small roller proving aa a clod crusher and leveler, where the ;tf soil was rough and uneven, I made a >■*_ larger, stronger and more durable tool after the fashion of a wheelbarrow. In this I used the .six-inch stovepipe ' filled with, sand and gravel, and iron '.pikes driven in a center (square block ; • for *■ an^aiie^'T^ two by four-inch scantling, with beards nailed across for bottoni, and ». dashboard of eight-inch plank nailed to up- • itfbt standards 'just behind the roller. .
