A HANDY IMPLEMENT

We here illustrate a combined garden rake and roller, which will be found a most useful implement in a vegetable garden where horse labour cannot be utilised. In many country gardens it is often found convenient • to sow a patch of green stuff, oats, Cape barley, or what not to keep a vacant piece of ground from running to weeds, or in the case of suburban residents, who keep a cow - or horse, to provide a supply of grean forage

to supplement .the restricted pasturage of a small paddock. In such cases the contri ' jvance here shown will be found a great con- . veriience in puttingin the green crop. The roller part consists of a solid log of sufficient v"gh\th to give it the necessary weight. The iength'^'ean'^tfe' arranged to suit yourse .
