SELF-CLOSING GATE.
The annoyances resulting from open garden and lawn gates can be avoided by the contrivance shown in the accompanying illxxstration. This gate closer will not only close the gate evexy time it is opened to the usual width, but if the gate is swung completely back to the fence, it will also hold the gate opexx. This is a great convenience, as all realise who have tried chains or ropes with weights and self-closixxg hinges or springs. With self-closing gates the carelessness of children and callers will be overcome, and the trees and plants saved frcm injuxy by trespassing cattle and swine .• —American ri culUiralid.
