Perhaps every farmer has occasion occa-sion to load somo animal Into a wagon nnd many of them proparo for this by building n stock chute. Frequently Fre-quently theso chutes aro built ns permanent fixtures In connection with tho feed lots, but they nro often made so that thoy can bo transported from one part of the farm to anothor. When a chute of thlB kind is built heavy and strong enough to support tho weight of a maturo hog or a largo calf it becomes a clumsy thing to move. Mr. R. J. Llnscott, Holton, Kas., has solved this problem of in-convenience in-convenience In a very easy way. The wheels and axlo UBed In making mak-ing his stock chuto are parts of old machinery found on tho farm, tho V .-.- J Stock Chute. wheels being taken from an old mower. mow-er. The upper end of tho chuto Is provided with two strong Iron, hooks, which aro sharpened so as to en-gago en-gago tho bottom tho wagon bed and prevent slipping nftor tho animal starts upward.
