I recall a visit I made to a ,farmer
at one itine. This man had no real

ef his machinery upart every winter
and gave it a •thorough overhauling
and a coat of paint. He found it much
easier to paint the various parts than
to paint the machine intact, and he

machinery brought more at public
auction and after many years of use,
ihan it cost Stein in the beginning.. I
Most ef the machinery was purchased'
by neighbors who knew what they
were buying. They knew that Stein
always ?ook the best kind of care of
all ,his equipment, and the principal
care he gave hiS farm machinery was
shelter and plenty of oil.
• In these days of high-priced build-
ing material it might not be advisable
to rus head,ong into the constructioni
of an elabora.te implement shed, al-
though it might very well prove a pro-
fitable investment if there is very.
much machinery to be housed. • But
there are a great many placesewhere
farni machinery can be sheltered if
just a little thought and consideration
is given to the problem.
Very few barns are so designed that
there is absolutely no waste space.
Much of this waste space might ba
utilized for machinery storage. A lit-
itle work in preparing the machinery
for storage may be necessary, but
much can be done along this line.
Aieles and alleyways in barns and
granaries are often used for storing
a grain drill or a mowing machine.
Perhaps only one machine is stored in
a space which might well accommodate;
three- to four if they were properly
stored. It isn't much 'of a job to re-
move the tongue from a mower or a
grain drill and then move them up
closely together. The space taken up
by the •tongue of a mower will very
• easily accommodate a grain drill and
a hay rake. The bolts holding the
tongues in place. can be-replacedin
their respective places, the nuts turn-
ed on loosely and a tag, labelling from
was tieing oldemachinery Which his
father had used years before.
He took all of his wagons apart once
a year and soaked the felloes and hubs
in hot linseed oid for several hours.
He painted the tongues. aed double -
trees with hot oil and stored them
among the rafters in his shop. His
eqnipinent was like new. The wagon
boxes -were given an annual scrubbing
and a coat of varnish andone old
wagon that he had used for nineteen
years still bore the name of the wagon
and the dealer from whom he had pur-
chased it. The wagon would have
brought considerably more than he
gave for it nineteen years before. It
was worth more, and just a little care
and shelter had made that possible.
And the shelter had been nothing more
than a utilization of waste space in
several of the farm buildings.
Let us use more of this space on
which we are paying interest and rent.
We pay for the space whether we use
it or not, and that space can be made
to return good dividends in lenge life
and more efficiency in our farm equip-
ment. Few of us ever get out of a
farm implement all of the value that
the manufacturer builds into it. We
can easily get fifty.. per cent. more
with just about two per cent. extra
effort. Thaes certainly worth while.

WHERE TO KEEP
VALUABLE PAPERS
A farmer who is rated as inere ;than
ordinarily intelligent and progressive
came into -my office to talk over get-
ting a loan. He was buying an adjoin-
ing farm and needed a few thousand
dollars. As he was in a hurry for
the money, my first question was as
to his abstract of title.
He scratched his head in despair.
"It's somewhere, about home, but
where?" was his ejaculation. "Blamed
if I know. I'll' ask Mary."
From the delay, he and Mary must
have been on a par about knowledge
of their poseessions, for it was not to
be found and a new one had to be
made an a hurry. A valuable docu-
ment costing perhaps $50 had been
mislaid hopelessly.
There are people who , one in with
rat -chewed, rain -beaten, pocket -soiled,
tattered legal documents, and unblush-
ingly spread them out for people,
Whose -'time is valuable,' to decipher.

SAi'ETY DEPOSIT BOXES.
The best plan of all is to put I

papers in your own safety depoeitl

have no bonds, it pays to put your;
legal documents in a safe box at the:

business yet know exaetly where to

they catch fire, you will not have to
worry about your documents. If some
emergency malces it necessary to bor-
row money on real estate you ean lay
your hands on your abstract at once;
Don't put it off. Begin to -day to
put everything in a safe place. Some-
body xnay have to settle up your estate
and you want to make it as easy as
possible for your widow and children
in that case. Get together your in-
surance policies, contracts, notes,

and make them safe. You will never
regret it, and you may be thankful
all the rest of your life for the few
minutes' work.—H. B.
Fowls Must Be Rugged.
Constitutional vigor is the natural
inheritance of all fowls, unless they
have been enfeebled by injudicious
breeding. Constitutional vigor may
be maintained by selecting the strong-
est, healthiest and hardiest birds for,
breeders- in spring, and by killing off
the weak and sickly in the fall. Fresh
blood, frequently introduced, keeps up
stemma, health and vigor, and enables
the birds to resist sickness and sud-
den changes of weather much better
than fowls injudiciously bred.
• The factor of heredity must be rec-
ognized, and only by intelligent breed-
ing along systematic lines can quality
be maintained. The standard of utile
ity is demanded, and to this supreme
test must all classes of stock be
brought. Nothing else will do or en-
dure. No matte how choice the, breed-
ing, it will be of little worth unless
backed by utility. This'alone Can de-
termine the value of blood. Many a
-floelc of hens condemned by the breed-
er would pay a -good profit if given a
chance. -Utility covers the breeder as
we as e breed.
A Demand for Small Cheese.
Mere is a very large and nnsatie-
fied demand for a cheese of geed qual-
ity -weighing from five to ten pounds.
This -has been abundantly demon-
strated at the -Finch Dairy Station
operated for ,the past thirteen years
by the Daley „Branch of the Dominion
Dent.of A r' li
of cheese of this size were made at
.`Finch every year and sold to •
purchasers, mostly the • consoniers
It themselves., .Dr. J. A. Ruddick, com-
menting on this phase of the work of -
the
Finch Station, points out that
with a little inishing and advertising
there is almost no lirnit to the extent
f businessthat b •
cheese of this class. It requires more
labor to make the 'smaller than the
regular size of cheese, but this to some
extent is offset by the fact that the
small cheese requires no bandaging, if
a cold curing room is available. The
Finch Station found no difficulty in
obtaining from three to five cents a
pound more thee -the current prices
for a cheese of the Cheddar type. Dr.
Ruddick believes that there is an op-
porttmity for owners of many 'fac-
tories to very considerably increa.se
their revenue by going into the mak-
ing of this class of cheese.
The dirty egg is more or less an
outcast, with no hope of improving its
status. No matter how fresh and at-
tractive it may be in other respects, it
is in bad repute with the local buyer,
and the stigma holds fast all along
