WANT BOOK.
Sheet from a Farmers "want Book

Few farmers have a definite idea
Of the total amount of money invested
IN farm machinery. II you were to
ask John Smith how much his farm
machinery was worth he would be un-
able to answer you. He would proba-
bly, tell you that the different imple-
ments cost SO much and that there
were number of repairs for, several
Of these. That these implements were
20 many years old, and were probably
worth only about half Of what they
were at first. Possibly he had bought
some of these secondhand, and had
never kept any record of the money
invested in farm machinery.
Farming being business, should be
run on business principles, If one is to
know where he is making or losing
money. So with the machinery the
first cost and repairs should be re-
corded and strict account kept Of all
labors involved in the up-keep of the
different farm machines. This can
only be, done by regular business meth
DDS. The operator Of the small farm
may feel that this is not important, and
from his point of view 1t may not be.
Yet actual experience shows that un-
less some records are kept in operat-
ing farm 1t is extremely difficult to

will furnish the necessary information,
as, "One machine bolt az inches by
V inches" This, with others which
may be required. may be purchased in
one order. which will probably result
in a saving Of one-half.
While this system may seem at first
thought somewhat cumbersome, .
glance at the suggested sheet will
show that 1t wifi in the end save time
and money, and at the same time dis
pense with worry and aggravation at
very busy season of the year.
When the repairs and special bolts
have arrived, take them with an extra
supply of bolts. nuts and split cot
tiers and a kit Of tools. Proceed with
the work as occasion permits, and in
a short time all Of the home work is
completed. The work usually done at
the village shop should be noted and
the list left In convenient place SO
that no extra time Is required in To-
eating 1t and arranging for the work.
Some farms are fortunate enough to
have their own shop, and where such
conditions exist 1t is not necessary to
take the pillow shares to the village
for sharpening, but this and many 9TH
er kinds of such work can be done at
home. The large farms having great

ANTS ARE SMART GARDENERS
They Are Known TO Grow Grain
Sowing and Harvesting Like
Real Farmers.


Man Is not the only animal who has
discovered the division of the vege
table world into weeds on the one
hand and garden plants on the other
Our ingenious little six-legged work,
ers, the ants, have anticipated us in
this, as in so many other useful in
ventions and discoveries. There are
ants in Texas which grow grain, and
each nest owns small claim in the
vicinity of its mound on which It cul.
tivates a kind of grass, commonly
known as ant rice.
The claim is circular, about ten or
twelve feet in diameter, and the ants
allow no plant but the ant rice to en-
croach upon the cleared space any
where.
The produce Of the crop they care
fully harvest, though authorities are
still disagreed upon the final question
whether they plant the grain or mere
~ allow 1t to SOW its own seed on the
protected area. s
One thing, however, Is certain
that no other plant is permitted to
sprout on the tabooed patch. The
ants wage war on weeds far more
vigorously and effectively than our
own agriculturists.

PAPER BAG COOKED DISHES FOR
INvALlDS AND CHILDREN.

BY Nicholas soyer, Chef Of Brooks
Club, London.
,Sweetbread Mackenzie.-Blancha and
trim good-sized sweetbread, make
a little mirepoir of vegetables, paying
attention to the color of the vege
tables, and seeing that they do not
brown. Cut the sweetbread across
the center, but do not halve it. Pound
one ounce of pistachios and lay them
in the slit of the sweetbread. Cover
the sweetbread with the prepared
vegetables and place in a well-but.
tered bag. Cook in a slow oven for
thirty minutes. Dish the sweetbread,
place the other ingredients in a fine
sieve and lightly press the gravy
through, on to the sweetbread.
Chicken CueneIIes.-Take the
breast OF one fowl, add pint of white
sauce, and piece of butter the size
of walnut. Pound well, mix in one
egg, pass through a hair sieve. Place
in a basin, add a quarter pint Of
cream and stir well. Form into small
quenelles with spoon, place in a
buttered bag, lay carefully on the
broiler, and cook for six minutes in

know on what money is being saved
and made.
10 keep farm machinery In repair is
no small item, and frequently time lost
In being delayed during busy period
while waiting for repairs is the cause
for p still greater loss. The time loss
in hany cases might be done away
with II more care was exerted in over
hauling the machinery during the win
ter season, when farm work is some
what slack. Many farmers make a
practice of making some repairs dur
ing the winter, but there is greater
majority who never feel that it is
worth while to spend time to do such
work, but believe they will have time
enough in the spring or before it is
time to use the machine again. AS a
rule, the work is not done until the
machine or implement should be in
the field, which ought not to be the
case The repairing, to be done at
the least expense and loss of time
should be done in the winter, or at
least most of 1t. There are some i'm
to repair. especially in some of the
machinery sheds which are found on
farms.
With a good machinery shed and
work shop at one end where a stove
could be set up to take the chill from
the air, this work might be handled
very nicely with little If any discom-
future, even in the coolest weather.
There will be a great many, stormy
days when little If aAy work can be
done out Of doors, when the work in
the shop can be very satisfactorily
carried on. Where the repairs cannot
be readily put in the respective places,
cards should be attached to the bro
ken part and everything put in read
mess for the time when the machine
is taken from the shed. I am now
thinking of the grain harvester, which
is frequently behind many of the
smaller machines, making 1t rather
difficult to get at for repairing. In
the case of the grain and corn har-
vester good plan to follow Is to
make a note of such parts as show
severe wear and order these parts for
the coming season.
A want book" and a box of ship
ping tags should be a part of the
equipment of the farm Office. In the
book should be made notation Of the
worn or broken part, and with 1t the
letter and number, thus: For the
grain harvester, binder driver dog III.
350."
A shipping tag with letter and num-
Der should then be attached to the
part to assist in quickly locating when
repairs are to he put in place. The
same holds true with reference to
bolts. When housing the machinery
you may not have the proper bolts on
hand, but the want book" and tags

PAPER BAG
COOKING
Great System Perfected by M.
S0yer, Famous London Chef.
GETS THE GOOD OUT OF FOOD.
BY Martha MccuIIoch Williams.

BY Martha McCuiIoch Williams.
Eating serves a double purpose
the giving Of pleasure, the keeping
up Of strength. Ill-cooked food re-
duces both to a minimum-hence the
proyerb: God sends meat and the
devil sends cooks" Possibly his
satanic majesty now and again mods.
It must have been in such somno-
lent interval that he let M. Soyer's
system OF paper bag cooking get by
him. For unQuestionabIy It is In the
way OF reducing ill-cooking at least
one-half. Thereby 1t will help to feed
fat all the nations Of the earth. Ia
The use OF cooking is to change
the nature Of food substances, MAX
ing them at once better tasting and
more digestible. Heat works by de-
'veloping flavors and Transforming sub
stances. Its most important office is,
however. to break down fiber, animal
and vegetable, to such degree as to
render 1t easily digestible. II 1t is
to do this It must be properly applied.
That is to say, gently, regularly.
Simple food. well cooked, is the
foundation of happiness-and paper
bag cooking means good cooking.
1t follows naturally that the paper
bag Is especially useful In preparing
food for delicate persons, and grow
ing children. Here follow some
dishes that have helped build up
weak and wasted people. That they
will be, likewise. good for children.
especially delicate ones, admits of
no doubt.
Pigeon Roast.-Take a SQUAD, a
sQuab-chicken as small as possible,
or quail, dress 1t whole, stuff light
ly with toasted bread crumbs, adding
a raisin or two, or shreds Of tart
apple. Season very lightly inside be-
fore stuffing. Rub a little more salt
outside, but only little. Rub also
with soft butter, not melted, and
dredge very lightly with -four. Then
wrap in bacon, sliced as thin as pos
sible, and put into a buttered bag
with half teaspoonful of water. Seal
and cook in hot oven twenty to
thirty minutes, depending on the size
The squabchicken may require thir-
ty-five minutes.
Shredded Wheat and Tomatoes
Pour upon each shredded wheat bis
cult required teaspoonful of melted
butter. Lay the buttered biscuit In
a well-buttered bag and pile upon
them thick slices of peeled toma-
toes, we'll seasoned with sugar, salt,
black and red pepper. Seal and cook
for ten minutes. Serve on hot plates.
A pleasing variant for children is, to
use instead of tomatoes, bananas
peeled, cut in cubes, covered with
sugar and lemon juice, and cooked
for eight minutes. This can be served
with cream.

er requirements will naturally require
more machinery, so that the one in
charge of the machinery should not
lose sight of the fact that large sup.
ply of common repairs is better than
to be out half of the time, thus caus-
ing unnecessary delays in the farm
operations.
The stock OF duplicate parts to be
ordered should be for sickle sections,
for mowers and binders, also sickle
heads and pitmans for the mowers.
Rivets, wearing plates, ledger plates,
guards, etc., or any such list as seems
| necessary to prepare for the neces-
! sary farm machines. Any one who is
at all interested in farm machinery
should be able to devise some plan
which would greatly facilitate the
handling and repairing of the farm ma
chinery.
To insure the greatest efficiency
Of plow, cultivators and all such inn
plements, 1t Is a good plan to cover
the face of the moldboards and shov-
els with good grade Of heavy ma
chine oil or a fair grade of hard oil.
This treatment will keep the wearing
surfaces free from rust, so that the
extra work of securing these imple-
ments in the spring will be done away
with. To get the greatest returns for
money invested in farm implements
one must have as few delays as pos
sible.
In keeping before you the first cost
and repairs of the different farm inn
plements, few cards as here shown
will be of great help. In this way you
can quickly find how much your wag-
on, mower, or any implement has cost
since It was purchased. The deprecia-
tion can also be more quickly calcu-
lated, and in many ways this will as
sist in determining the gross earnings
of the farm each year. This card sys-
tenn might be carried still further by
adding to 1t double column at the
right, the extra column showing the
amount of work or the value of the
work done with each implement. This
is shown on card describing gang
plow.
The scheme described here is not
entirely new, as some farmers are
using methods which In some ways
are similar, but the card system and
day book are much handler and more
economical
