Every farmer should keep q
classified scrapbook for ready re,
ference. There is great deal OF
reading matter which comes tC

should be filed away for later con
sultation. We cannot always re-
member the good things we read,

venlent way they are hard to find
when wanted The time to dc

eye and requires only moment
if a place is ready to receive the
clipping. In this way good stock
of information is soon lost.
