ries have become necessities, Tho rich faw
no longer nlonopoltxe the snail fruit & aud the
products OF thv garden. The strawberry has
ielt ne meadow, and now claims the tight to
TO- the use Of this and other horticultural
products.
This new condition OF things demands new
implements, aud genius hands them over as
;an A. Is .eds ordered. The new machine Is gar
The lFfsder.-H Is Wee thing, having two
handles, like d seed drill, 4 small wheel in
front, and cutting knife that hicks the
weeds Just below the surface. This knife Is
width Of the row it Is flat, thin and sharp,
slightly curved forward md turned up
the sides, and bolted TO the han
dies. :. The operator pushes it before
him with motion, similar to that required
by scot,le hoe; which in fact 1t ;s,upeFcedes.
It cuts down the young weeds like magic,
and 20 close to the row Of plants that !lttIa
y left for hand wedding. For the growing Of
Osage plants, garden vegetables, small nurse
y stock, strawberr1as in hill. or rows, and
probably broom corn, 1T Is Invaluable. Well,
like Topsy, It grew. The idea nc saw
among lot Of garden implements,
near dozen years ago. at Prot.

skadiuE cultivation, but ha did not
fully mnster It, ior he was only intent On the
corn field and potatoe patch. We next saw
Il 10 the hands Of . boy, among a lot Of gar
den truck, some eighteen miles northwest of
the city; but the boy enlisted In the famous
Eighth illinois Cavalry, fought the rebels in
stead Of weeds, came home with scars and
shoulder-straps.. But the Genius Of Horti-
culture had the idea In his keeping, and the
fuli-grown implement turned up some three
years ago in the fremont gardens. It Is not
patented, and may not he. The suporintend-
ent Of the garden had one made for Us, al !
cost Of s1 dollars, to which the express co n
rany added = dollar to deliver Il. It has
saved u nearly ten times Its cost, though
used only this season. and this II all We know
