Place for His Books and Papers.

Why Every Agriculturist Should Have .
Place for His Books and Papers.
You need some kind OF an office"
even if it only amounts to desk space in
one OF the family living rooms; in other
words, some quiet corner where YOU can
place roll-top desk or the old sacre-
tary. and where you will always have
good ink, pens and paper, and other
conveniences for writ NC or figuring.
and be sure of finding account and
memorandum books, receipt files and
other papers just as you left them. And
speaking of COOL ink, in how many
households can good black ink and de-
cent pen be found? homeopathic ink,
a tn n as some citymilk, and corrod-
ed, spatter-WorH pen are poor incentives
to keeping accounts, making memo
rantla of observation and bits of ex-
perience, or writing business letters. If
there is room to spare in the house, and
YOU can have a ''library," we Suggest
that You make that your Office; u table
VIII answer the purpose of a desk if it
has drawer or two that can be locked,
though there is nothing quite so con-
Vcnlcnt for q business man rs a few
spare pigeon holes for letters, re-
ceipts, etc. Place your books upon con-
venlcnt Shelves shelves stained
with asphaltum and turpentine look
very well-and add to them as you have
means to spare; make rack for your
agricultural periodicals, and see that
no number is missing. rs, of course,
you file your papers for future refer
ence; hang few coed pictures of fine
stock on the walls and your 'tcl1ice" is
complete. There will be no excuse then
for try NC TO carry all the farm ac-
counts and the details of your business
IN your head. -Ou1 C01At1u Home.
