Several devices for the facilitation of garden labor have grown out of my practice during the last two or three years. They are mostly very simple, yet I find them useful, particularly for work which is partially experimental.

A Handy Wagon (Fig. 1)

This is a combination fruit and truck wagon. The body projects over the wheels, giving a very large surface for the handling of crates, boxes, barrels, etc, I use a 3-ft. wheel, with a 2½-in. tire. The body is 4 ft. 8 in. by 12 ft. It is used either behind a pole or thills.

A Handy Cart (Fig. 2)

This is a platform handcart, so stable that it can be used in the field as a table, upon which the sorting and weighing of ex-perimental crops is done. We find it indispensable. We use a 3-ft.' wheel and a wide tire. The body is provided with a border an inch high all around.

Seed Protector (Fig. 8)

This is simply a box a foot square, with a wire-cloth bottom, for setting over papers and pans of seeds which are being dried.

A Cheap Ventilator (Figs. 9 And 10)

This is a modification and improvement of an old device. It is useful for raising the whole sash in low and cool houses. Fig. 9 shows the fixtures in place upon one side of the sash only. The upper lever has a joint, the top portion being 6 inches long, while the lower portion is about 16 inches. The lower lever has a slot three or four inches long, to allow the sash to slide. When the upper levers are pulled down, the sash is carried downwards until the top of the lower portion of the lever strikes the sash, when any further pulling of the levers must raise the whole sash, as shown in Fig. 10. The first downward movement of the sash allows the top of the sash to lie under a cap, to prevent leaking.
