FOR BORING POSTS. 
We (Adelaide Observer) givea sketch of a contrivance used for boring 
posts after they are erected :— 
¢ 
Fig. 1 shows the auger bent 6 in. from the handle hole. A. short piece of 
round wood makes a good handle, which must be tightly fitted. The auger 
stand is easily made by morticing a 3x2 into a 5x 3, and well stayed, as 
shown in Fig. 2. Of course, the stand is bored the same gauge as you wish 
the fence to be. Use some good hard wood. You are then ready to start, as 
shown in Fig. 3. By using this combination you save 30 per cent. in energy 
and 25 per cent. in time. 
AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL SHOWS. 
The Editor will be glad if the secretaries of Agricultural and other Societies 
will, as early as possible after the fixture of their respective shows, notify him 
of the date, and also of any change in date which may have been decided on.
