An Easily Made Corn Sheller.
This winter many of our settlers who have grown maize for use on their own homesteads will be glad to hear of a method of making a thoroughly effective corn aholler. We give a cut of one which Mr J. G. Benson, hailing from Texas, U.S., vouches for
as able to beat anything of the kind ho has ever seen sold for less than £1, To make one, take tough, hard wood plank 1£ x 6 inches, and 30 inches long ; cut a slot two inches wide, two-thirds of the length of the plank ; across tho upper part of this slot drive eight steel wire staples, and bend them down a little in the centre. The cut fully explains the whole matter.
