GARDEN STEPS 



Grindstone. — If you have ever had a grindstone, 

 even a small one, you will never want to be without 

 one. It is used in twenty ways every week. By 

 means of a grindstone, axes and hatchets, table knives, 

 trowels, shovels, hoes, and many other tools can be 

 kept in good condition with little labor. The ex- 

 pense of a small grindstone is not great, but if you 

 do not feel Hke spending the money for that, then 

 get a whetstone and a large file, and be sure to use 

 them on your garden tools when they get dull.
