the discussion with some remarks ou

intermi-sion of ten weeks during the

buildings for forty two weeks annual

little frame that contains u roujjli

eitfht inches wide aud live or nix iuch
es long. Seated in a chair with u
chopping block and this trough at his
side he whacks a handful of brush
wlih a com knife into the proper
leiitfth and piles it iu tills trongn.
Across the bottom of this trough is a
piece of balling wire with the ends
tui'ueil under out of the way. When
Ills trough is full enough be presses
the twigs and sticks together with his
knee, picks up the ends of bis wire
ami with a pair of pliers tightens aud
twistH tbe wire about his fagot and
tosses it to oue side. It does uot take
him long to reduce a large unseemly
pile of brush into fagots six incliw in
diameter and of stove length. One
fagot divided into parts will kindle
several fires in a cook stove, or take
tbe place of fuel for a quick tire for a
summer day. One fagot is sufficient
to kindle bis coal Are in the furnace
for winter or beat up the bouse on a
chilly spring or autumn day. Tbe
fagots are much preferable to com
cobs, both for handling aud service.
Of course it would uot pay a farmer
who lias an abundance of cobs for
uothing to cut brush into fagots.
Neither would it pay to hire a man at
two dollars per day to cut up the brush
of wome other person, unless the per
son hired were an expert at the busi
ness. Hut it will pay every ian iu town
to have his own brush cut up in this
manner, and any man ought to make
good wagea at fagoi making, If the
brush costs him nothing. About this
city yearly there is enough brush
burned in bonfires to furnish gainful
occupation to one or more men Inmak-
