American agricultural implements
are known the world over as the best
'procurable, especially for saving time.
This Is true both as to the large appn-
ances used on farms and the smaller
garden implements. A Texas farmer
is the inventor Of a hoe attachment
applicable to hand wedding or garden
hoes OF various forms and sizes. The
attachment consists Of a cutting blade,
which Is designed to be used in detach-
ing clinging vines and runners from
the growing plants. The improved de-
vice comprises wedding blade of the
usual form, and connected to the han
die by shank which curves upward.
Extending from the shank is cutting
blade. curved away from the handle
and shank.
In using the implement the cutting
blade is forced forward or away from
the operator by pushing motion,
and by its peculiar form and position
is very convenient for severing vines.
runners, creepers and similar plant
life from the stalks of the growing and
valuable plants. The implement will
also be found very convenient for
chopping corn, or thinning cotton and
