A $400 impleneee hod pays he -thr-
eat at the rate of twenty-two pee cent,
a year on a ferm with $1,000 worth of
machinery. The depreciation for
$1,000 worth of „wellhoused machin -

when poorly protected. ,
The cost of a good tool shed May be
stated thee: The $90 difference itcde-

$400. It is estimated that well -housed
fatm machinery depreciates at the
rate of from three to twelve per cent,
a year, the -rate being highest for
eorn-bindere threshing machines and
other complicated machinery. This
statement means that the life of these
expensive helpers- is practically cut in
half When neglected..
I know of a grain drill, purchased in
1913 for $100. It was used to seed
about seventy-five acres and never
placed in a shed.. In the spring of
1917 the dnill sold for' VG. It would
have been worth at least $70 with good
housing. Weather is the cause of
heavy loss. Ithety macbineey must be
limbered up before ming; a rusted
lcnotter on a binder may mean that
extra help must be secured to bind the
missed bundles by hand; rust increas-
es the draft for horses; it weakens the
machinery, often causing breaks and
delaying the work. If a hay -loader
is in good working order it can pay
for itself in a single afternoon. The
tool shed lessens both rust and decay.
I knew of a man aim took better
care of his cows than his ntachinery.
When he, bought a new hayeloader he
woald have had to 'rearrange the
ether machinery in his machine shed;
but he was always too busy to do this,
and so the hay loader stadd out in the
field summer and winter. It did good
work until the crop of the third year.
With about fifteen loads of hay lying
in the windrow, one of the sills, badly
decayed around a bolt, broke. Four
men and three teams stood idle while
one man went back to the barn to get
a brace and bit, an oak board and four
bolts to splice the broken timber. The
four bolts had to be removed from the
binder. It took more than an hour to
do tbis repelling and before the first
other sill broke.

It pays to market the levellers care-

the pullets to represent the profit on

In many small towns there is not a
good market for broilers because
many donsumers have their own, flocks
and many housewives prefer a large
fat hen so that there will be enough
poultry meat for a fair-sized family
on Sunday and enough left over for
the Monday dinner. Broiler meat
has usually been considered a luxury.
Whether that is true or not depends
on the' point of view of the consumer
and the size of bis purse. At least
it pays to disregard the local broiler
market if it is not paying a profitable
price and ship the stock to a reliable
commission dealer in some eity where
broilers are appreciated.
Often the hotel trade will take quite
a few broilers. Hotel managers.usu-
ally prefer two -pound stock which is
evenly graded as they wish to serve
equal portions to their patrons. They
do not wish to serve broilers ranging

to buy of commission dealers who can
always furhish broilers of the desired
weight whenever they are wanted
rather than trade with producers who
?nay be careles-s about grading their
stock and shipping it on time.
Broilers of one breed sell the best
as they look the best in the crate
and are more apt to be uniform in size
and quality. Private consumers seem
to like broilers' the best when they
weigh about three pounds. The three -
pound bird makes a meal for an aver-
age family, while the two -pound bird
is a little smala For this reason many
of the local dealers catering to private
tvade will prefer three -pound stock
Broilers can be fattened if they ate
penned up fer ten days and fed a
ration ef corn meal and sour milk'
made into 10'sloppymash. Reduce the
exercise and increase the feed and the
healthy young cockerel can hardly
help becoming a fat broiler. Skinny
broilers are not profitable. They re-
present the cost of growing a bony
frame decorated with feathers but do
not have the meat 'w'hich pleases the
customers and brings the best prices
on the market. There as no fortune in
the broiler business at the meesent

Marketing Poultry.
Throughout the season it pays to
give the flock of old hens an occasion-
al culling. The hens that meat early
or becolne overfat should be marketed.
The hens that have reached two and
three years of age have usually passed
their most profitable stage and they
should be replaced by vigorous pul-
lets. Seine farmers do very well by
marketing dressed poultry to private
customers. Others save time by sell-
ing the birds live weight to local deal-
ers with the idea that the lower price
received is much more than balanced
by the work elicreinated.
When old hens are to be sola it
pays to telephone early in the -week
and make arrangements With the deal-
er who is to buy them This is better
than hauling a load of hens to town
and canyas,sing the main street fora
buyer. Usually a dealer will wish to
buy the hens on Thursday morning
so that he cart have them dressed and
ready for Sunday trade. He will like
to be sure of a week's supply of poul-
try several days in advance -so if the
sale is made by telephone on Monday
the birds can be caught on Wednesday
night anal delivered early the next
morning. Often the work of hauling
poultry can 'be combined with other
burn. Many bits of plank eind board

Where a large number of chicks are
being raised in one brooder house,
difficulty is often experien,ced in pre-
venting the birds from piling up at
night after the heat is removed, anti
causing serious losses. To prevent
this overcrowding the binds should be
taught to roost as early as possible.
If roosts are made out of one -by -three-
inch strips placed flat so as to provide
a three-inch roosting surface, and
these are placed twelve to fifteen
inthes from the fipor, the birds can
easily be taught to go to roost. If the
chicks do not go up on the roost of
their OVV/1 accord they should he gent-
ly placed on the -roosts after dark for
one or two nights until they get the
roosting habit,
This season of the year a constant
lookout should be kept by all poultry
keepers fon mites in the houses and
coops, A mite is very small and dif-
ficult to see unless 'special maid' is
made. They are usually found in the
cracks near roosts. They appear as
minute, gray or reddish specks, When
present in large numbers they often
have the appearante of dust. Mites
reproduce very rapidly and WO a great
source of annoyance to the bens when
present in large numbers. The mites
live by sucking blood from the hens. A

MY INDOOR GARDEN
To the garden lover the first frost
spells tragedy. The indoor garden
will prove her solace during the long
winter months: Green leaves and
brilliant blossoms within doors help
keep alive one's faith and interest in
the rejuvenating power of spring to
come.
This indoor garden requires little
but exertion onl,'crur part; there is
practically no expense involved. The
temperature of the ordinary living
room is sufficient ta give blossoms
for the entire winter from the ordin-
ary plants.
In the first place it is well to con-
sider, before the severe frost comes,
jest what you wish to transplant from
the garden. The selection should be
confined to plants that will blossom
if transplanted. There are plants
which, to theive and do well, must
have their period of rest. Roses be-
long to thie class. They must lie
dormant for a Nam and though,- you
take them into the house, they will
not bloom before the next spring Or

not the natural habitat. They are in-
door plants that do excellently out of
docirs rather than garden blossoms
that may be transplantal.
The vincas that trail so gracefully
from your verandah box, well bear
transplanting and will decorate eno
less gracefully the window box or
flower stana in dining room or palter.
Theze indoor boxes are sold by.florist
shops and up -.to -slate furniture estab-
lishments, but make your own! They
stand on legs about two and one-half
feet high, are usually from three to
four feet long and from eight to
twelve inches in depth. To clever
housewife or the girl or boy handy
with tools can easily make such a
box and paint it attractively.
Wood,s as well as garden yield a
harvest for the window garden,.
Violets and ferns will live and thrive
but great care must be observed in
taking them up. Unless a large enough
ball of earth is lifted with the roots
so that the roots are not left exposed
to the air for even # moment, the
plant will die. Dig the earth about
the plant d,eeply enough so that,.you
The most satisfactory of the garden will not bruise or injure the rootean
plants for indoor cultivation is the the least; then place immediately in
gerarrium. The plants should be taken basket or conveyor, and transfer as
rapidly as possible.
Calendulas, marigolds, daisies and
zinnias with their coarse, woody stain,
will ao excellently from seed sown
indoors in October; and the nastur-
tiums will give flaming bloom for
Christmas decoration. A friend of
mine made what she called na,sturtivm
balls for Oheistmas gifts. She con-
structed balls of wire, and filled them
with earth and Mess in which File
placed nasturtium seeds. As the seeds
sprouted and put out leaves, ,she pick-
ed off the leaves to force the plants to
up with an accompanying ball of
earth and placed in pots, in the bot-
toms of which a few small pebbles
have been placed to instrre drainage.
Pots are inexpensive luxuries, costing
in this day of !high prices, not :more
than three or four cents each, but
there is always the much -abused tin
can which a coat of green paint tran,s-
forms.
Na -The begonias will bear transplant-
ing end will bloom cheerfully all
winter if kept very moist. They thrive
indoors and enjoy the shadow.
