space. Height is not so essential, ouS
space may often be economical by e,s-
ing hoist of some description 10 rifS
and hang the lighter tools and simple
ments off the floor. This would be dc
sirable particularly for implements o.
tools used only for short periods OF the
year. The implement floor should also
be open and free from posts If possible
to facilitate moving the larger units.
The doors should be wide enough be
accommodate any implement and close
enough together to permit taking ma
chimes out Of the building without
making il necessary to move great
number Of others. 1t might also be-
said in this connection that an effoss
should be made to group together those
implements in use at the same lime
Using this scheme, the whole grour
may be taken out mt once. A level cor
crete floor makes moving heavy impk,-
ments an easy task. Two men can
move n loaded wagon on a cement fooe

standing on an earth floor.
The farmer has an endless number o.
details to look after and hence should
make system do as much Of his work
as possible. This not only economies

rather than carry and hold items OF
unimportance. Following is sugces
ton intended to show what is meant.
Summer is a busy season, and 1t IA

ment in order when through using,

these cards will suggest what needs

The loss caused by this fungus Is one
which is often overlooked by the zsrs7E--
er, although it is usually severe one.
Since this attack, for the most part
comes after the present crop OF Fruit
is picked the loss will be noticed In
the next years crop, for it Is a voeN
known fact that when the leaves OF d

little food stored up I'm the tissues, and
there will, therefore, be weak growta

Control.
To control this disease one merrill
needs to apply a fungicide to the leaves
and kill the spores or their sprouts ise
fore they have a chance to enter she
tissues. Bordeaux mixture has beer
used for a good many years and es
many sections is the only measure w-
lied upon. Recently self boiled lime
sulphur has been suggested in place ud
bordeaux mixture in order to avoid tie
burning which frequently follows the
use of the copper fungicide. The Gle
partment of horticulture at Nj. a C.
has found that for cherries and plumN
(other than the Japanese varieties) di-
lutte lime-sulphur is very satisfactory
and is to be preferred to either 6yot
deauX or self boiled lime-sulphur. The
time Of application for plums, as taken
from the spraying calendar, is Us Eel
lows: Just before the buds swell,s 2S-
mediately after the blossoms fall* and
ten days or two weeks LATER For
cherries use the mixtures menti0nsS
above just before the blossom opens"
just after the blossoms falls and Ten
days or two weeks later, and 1t may
be necessary to make another spray

TT would seem superfluous to point
out the need of care and protec-
Il ton for farm machinery. There
are, however, many farmers who
do not give this matter the attention
II deserves, and we are led to inquire
whether they are fully convinced that
it Is a matter Of dollars and cents or,
on the other hand, one Of carelessness
and neglect.
1t Is difficult to produce figures show
ing that there is a definite saving In
the proper housing and care of farm
equipment of the kind mentioned. 1t
has been demonstrated, however, and
is yearly being shown that such is the
case. In almost any community ex-
amples can be found where the period
of usefulness Of machinery, well pro-
tected and cared for, is nearly double
that on adjoining farms where it is
left to the ravages of the weather with
no system Of keeping in order.
AS showing further the need Of more
careful attention to this phase of farU,
management the following figures are
presented. Though some assumptions
Of the machine in question they arc
based on the judgment of good author
tiles and may be verified by the ex-
perience of the reader. BY making n
list of the implements and tools re-
Quired on q 100 acre farm 1t will he
found that their value will not be far
from 81 900. Properly housed and car
ed for the tools referred to should have
a period Of usefulness of twelve years.
On this assumption the yearly cost
would be nearly $S5. The annual or
yearly cost in each case is found by
dividing the first cost by the period of
time in use. Taking eight years as the
period of usefulness for unprotected
equipment, 1t will be found that the an
nual cost would be 500. Now, an I'm
plement house to protect this machin-
cry could be CO.. structed at a cost OF
from $500 to $3.50. Using the latter fig
ure and assuming that the house could
he used for fifteen years, yearly cost
of nearly ST. would be shown. Not
taking into account interest on invest
ment for the purpose in mind, the to-
tai annual cost of protected machinery
would be $50 plus SIT equals $102 rs
against an annual cost of 500 per
year for unprotected. From these fig
ures a saving Of SIS per year will be
shown.
1t should be remarked, too. that in a
well designed implement house the
work of caring for implements is not
increased. 1t is often more expedient
to drive a machine under cover than to
spend time in covering II with canvas
or otherwise protecting II temporarily

Village of Provincetown Was Put on
Rats and Moved Across
the Bay.

Commercial street in Provincetown
had an origin in keeping with its pres
ent nautical air :and appeal to the
imagination. The town originally
stood on the spit of sand far out
across the harbor, where the light
house now Is. Many years ago the
government bought Provincetown.
houses and all, in order to protect the
harbor from the threatening sea. The
Provincetonians went to the govern
ment and asked what they were go
ing to do with the houses.
"Pull 'em down, of course" said
the government.
Cant we have 'em?" inquired the
late owners.
Sure" replied the government, III
you'll take 'em away"
"Sure!" echoed the Provincetoni-
ans.
Old wreckers that they were, they
applied their technic to the problems
of housemoving. They bulkheaded
their dwellings up, ,necklaced empty
casks about them in the way of life
'preservers, and one sunny morning
the village of Provincetown, true to
its maritime traditions, set sail,
schoolhouse and all, and came float
ing gayly across the harbor to where
1t now stands. Near the railway
track today they point out a certain
store as the original seafaring school
house.-Robert Haven Schauffler In
