How To Care For 
GARDEN TOOLS 
A well kept tool makes any job easier 
and gives -better results. The little time 
spent is amply repaid by long life and 
good service. 
Don't sharpen digging tools too thin as 
this will cause them to nick easily. 
Cutting tools should be sharpened with 
a thin blade, after sharpening a blade to 
a very fine edge, put it across a piece 
of wood to remove the feather edge. 
Clean your spade at the end of each day's 
use. Dirt left on a spade is worse than 
rust. An oily rag may be run over blades 
and handles and the metal parts rubbed 
dry and clean with a rag. 
Hang tools up, each in its place, when 
not in use. Handles are roughened and 
edges dulled if tools are not placed in 
special racks. Brooms and brushes soon 
become crooked if allowed to rest on the 
bristles. 
The garden hose should not be left out- 
side, especially in the sun. It should be 
coiled or preferably mounted on a reel 
on wheels. 
Keep your garden gloves clean and soft, 
never allowing them to become caked or 
crusted with dirt.
