A Handy Garden Roller

Take a joint of stove-pipe, six, seven or eight inches in diameter ; set one end upon an inch board, and with a scratch awl or penoil mark around on the inside ; reverse the pipe and mark the other end. Then with a pair of compasa, find the center of thoae two wheels, and strike around their circumference, allowing for the iron. Saw or cut them true and round ; bore a hole with a bit in their centers, to receive a shaft of haif-inch round iron about three inches longer than the length of pipe. Now fit in ene of these heads, and upset the sheet-iron pipe over it enough to hold it firmly in place. Put the shaft in and set the whole on the ground, taking care that the shaft stands true ; and lastly put in a quart or two of dry sand, and stamp it hard with a suitable rammer, repeating the oporation till the pipe is full to within one inch of the top. Fit in the other head with the shaft in place ; upset the iron over it as before, and you have a roller as servicoable as one of all iron, and at almost no cost. To ñt it í'or use, make a box of inch stuff; fit a handle to it, sloping at an angle of twenty degrees froin its bottom board ; put a cross head to the end of it, and for a garden or walk roller this cannot be beaten. If wanted heavier, it can be lóaded with brickbats or earth ; and for wheeling atónos of rubbish off garden or lawn or newly plowed or spaded grounds it will be pronouuced by all who try it " tip top." Any man or boy who can use a saw, plañe and hammer can make oe in a few hours, and with decent care it will last as many years. -
