CONVENIENT TOOL RACKS.
" A place for everything, and everything in its place," is a maxim observed by every cnreful farmer. A tool-rack is an essential on every farm, and, when prominently displayed, the master never enters the yard without encountering a full view of the rack, and in consequence the absence of any tool is seen at once. In this case the 2in. x lin. redwood strips used in making up bundles of
roofing shingles were utilised by simply nailing them to the outside boarding. The galvanised strips of |m. x Bin. used in the shingle binding were folded like the brass clips of a billiard cue rack, as shown in our illustration. For heavier tools, castoff horseshoes were nailed on to one of these redwood strips, and in them there were hung- spades, pickaxes, mattocks, and (£bsreepproiig<ed : ih-oes.
By means of these waste materials not only has a good tool-rack been
would otherwise be lost in hunting up some implement nobody knows where cannot be estimated. — " American Agriculturist."
