FOR USE IN THE GARDEN

Handy Receptacle in Which to Convey Necessary Tools That Are Needed in the Summertime. At almost all times of the year there is some work to be done in the garden for which scissors, twine and. garden tools are necessary, and the usual plan is to carry these articles in a basket and place it upon the ground while at work. This entails continually bending down whenever anything is put into or taken from the basket. The simple little article shown in our sketch will meet this difficulty, and it can be easily and quickly made from a stout stick, a wooden box and a couple of strong nails. A nail is fun through the stick in the position indicated by A in the diagram on the right of the sketch, and then a round

hole into which the stick may be fitted is cut in the center of the bottom of the box. The stick is run through the box until it reaches the nail A, then a second nail is run through the stick underneath the box in the position indicated by B, and this will hold the box in its place upon the stick. The stick should be cut into a point at the end, so that it easily can be stuck in the ground in an upright position. In summer, when gathering fruit and ( flowers, it will be found extremely useful, as it can be moved about easily as occasion requires.
