Keep Live stock on the Farm.

We will take for example q 100 acre
farm, which is small enough if it is
to pay both landlord and tenant.
tory way for both parties is to go on
equal shares; that is, the landlord to
furnish the farm in good repair, also
the buildings and fences in good shape,
so all kinds OF stock can be kept, for
there Is where the good. easy money
Is for both landlord and tenant. Then
the farm Is getting worth more day by
day, by keeping stock and feeding all
the grain and hay. Also the straw
can be used TO good advantage rather
than burn it or leave it TO plow
around for years

take the same interest in the farm as
though he owned it. He should devote
all his time to the interests Of the farm,
He should put his spare days, when

fences and digging ont noXious weeds

Each party furnishes equally of the

feed is needed it should be bought and
paid for by landlord and tenant equal.

should be divided equally. By so do

tenant have. Otherwise in one short
year they are both ready for change,

Profit. From TnrI.sys.

The profits on turkey raising depend
very much on how we handle the

TO fatten all the turkeys together in the
fall. 1t is not an easy matter to sep
arate them. There is really no harm
done fattening all together. The com

grain than they need after the market

Every Farm should Have Toe

Every Farm Should Have Tool Shed.
One of the greatest expenses in run
ming a farm is the cost of farm ma
chinery. Money saved is money
earned is true saying. and | know
of no better way in which to cut down
the expenses of farming than to know
how TO manage and care for farm ma
chinery.
Every farm should nave at least one
shed in which to place machinery. This
shed should be good substantial one,
with good roof and tight fitting doors
to keep out all fowls and stock. A
piece of machinery should never be
taken from this shed until ready for
use, and should be returned as soon
as its work is accomplished. In this
way tool will last much longer and
do the work much better, thus saving
the farmer time and money Just be.
fore piece of machinery is to be used
in the field it should be looked over
with great care. Every part should
receive careful attention. and should
be in proper condition to accomplish its
work. All bolts should be kept tight,
and nothing should be allowed to run
that is not in proper condition. This
careful examination beforehand often
saves a great amount Of time and labor
in after days. Besides. 1t makes the
work much more pleasant
While in use in the field the bearings
on farm machinery should be kept we'll
oiled. This will lessen the draft, and
the machine will last much longer. 1t
is much cheaper to buy oil than ma
chinery
Binders, and all other machinery that
Is complicated in construction, should
be carefully examined at least twice
day when in use. once in the morn.
ing before work begins and then again
at noon. Every part should be exam
ined very carefully. This often pre-
vents serious trouble and delay. when
the grain is ripe and wages high.
When the farmer is through using a
piece of machinery, it should be taken
TO the shed. Before storing away for
the season all dirt should be removed
and the parts most likely to rust should
be creased with axle grease or painted
with oil. Should any part be broken
or damaged. it should be repaired at
once. Every farmer should be provid-
ed with good paint and paint brush, so
that he may repaint his machinery
when the paint begins TO come off
Buy good, substantial machinery in the
first place; keep it well painted, well
oiled when in use, and well housed
when not, and you are on the road to-
wards successful farming.--A Farmer,
