INVENTIONS AND APPLIANCES OF INTEREST TO AGRICULTURE.

CL J. LTNBE, MACDONALD COLLEGE QUE. PROY., CANADA. PLANT MARKER, To attach the name plate to this holder, which is formed from a single piece of wire, you put the looped end of Lh"

holder through the opening in the plate and then rotate the plate so that the free end swings down into position betwee. the arms of the large loop. To detach the plat you do the reverse. —Henry M. Rolph, Markham, Ontario, Canada. VINE SUPPORT. Vines and other climbing plants may be supported by this simple device. A number of stout rods or wires are driven

into the ground in a circular arrange ment, and then a flexible fastening :s passed through the loops near the tops of the wires to keep the whole framework firmly in position.—John H. M'Quaid, Bermont, Florida. VINE TRELLIS. The object of this trellis is to support the vines and also allow them to swing with the wind. This is done by suspend-

ing looped hangers of different lengtns from the cross bar and then passing the vine and its main branches through the clamps formed by the arms of the hangers. —E. S. Weddle, Dinuba, California. HAND RAKE. This tool may' be used as an ordinary rake, and also for cutting weeds or uprooting bunches of grass. The teeth and

the cutting blade are formed from one piece of material firmly fastened by side arms to a stock which in turn is securely' inserted in the handle.—M. Pantiga, Santa Paula, California. GARDEN TOOL. This handy implement is used to trim lawns and the edges of flower beds or sidewalks. It can also be used for prun

ing shrubs or as a weed-cutter. To trim the grass along the side-walk, the tool is grasped by the handle and the V-shaped blade pulled along with its fiat side next the edge of the walk.—Z. T. Clarke, Portland, Oregon. GARDEN HOSE SUPPORT. To use this support you first move the ring at the top towards the right to relieve the pressure upon the long jaws.

You then pass the hose through these jaws, put the nozzle into the loop, and move the ring back again to clamp the hose into position for use,—Frank G. Alegeo, Hutchison, Kansas.
