Few farmers have a definite idea
Of the total amount CT money invested
In farm machinery. If you were to
ask John Smith how much his farm
machinery was worth he would be I'M
able to answer you. He would proba-
bly, tell you that the different imple-
ments cost so much and that there
were a number of repairs for several
Of these. That these implements were
so 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
Iabors 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 it may not be.
Yet actual experience shows that I'M
less some records are kept in operat-
Ing a farm it is extremely difficult to

as, Cone machine bolt "a inches by

may be required, may be purchased In
one order, which will probably result
in saving of one-half.
While this system may seem at first
thought somewhat cumbersome,
glance at the suggested sheet will
show that it will in the end save time
and money, and at the same time dis
pense with worry and aggravation at
a 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 it and arranging for the work.
Some farms are fortunate enough to
have their own shop, and where such
conditions exist it is not necessary TO
take the plow 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

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.

guards, etc., or any such list as seems
necessary to prepare for the neces'

should be able to devise some plan

To insure the greatest efficiency

one must have as few delays as pos.
sible.
In keeping before you the first cos,

will be of great help. In this way you
can quickly find how much your wag

since it was purchased. The deprecia.
ton can also be more quickly caIcu.
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 it a 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

entirely new, as some farmers are
using methods which in some WAYS
are similar, but the card system and

GIVE FRESHNESS TO BODICE
FIowerets of Spring Revive Garments
That Need Retouching at the
Seasons End.

When the social season begins to
wane the gowns probably show signs
of wear and demand retouching.
The dainty 1owerets of silk and
gauze are beautifully adapted for this
purpose.
Tiny clusters caught here and
there among the soft folds Of lace
trimming the bodice or skirt give a
delightfully."- fresh touch.
Flowerets come in every color and
all shapes. Trailing vines of morning
glories in the soft, delicate pastel
shades are decidedly effective.
Fairylike bouquets nesting among
the lacy folds of fichu or flounce add
springlike newness to the dance
frock
These flowers are not confined to
the evening dress; they appear de-
murely in small clusters of blue, red
and gold upon the visiting costume,
hat or furs.
Wall flowers, with their rich color
ing of yellow, orange and brown, are
stunning with furs.
Old-fashioned pinks and larkspur
are a pretty combination, while the
glowing scarlet and coral miniature
peoples are lively against a dark fur
background.
AS spring advances the somber win
ter hat may be given a touch OF
brightness by adding a tiny bouquet
of these dainty f1owerets.
They are used to trim jabots and
collarettes of lace and net to very
good advantage.
Buckles fashioned of these diminu'
tive blossoms adorn the evening slip
per. Tiny pink roses and forget-me.
nots are fascinating combination for
this purpose.

W on what money is being saved

know on what money is being saved
and made.
To 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 still greater loss. The time loss
in many cases might be done away
with if 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 a 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
ahould be done in the winter, or at
least most of it. There are some i'm
Elements that one might find difficult
to repair, especially in some of the
machinery sheds which are found on
farms.
With a good machinery shed and a
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 any 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

is taken from the she'd | 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-
Yester a 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 it the
letter and number, thus: For the
grain harvester, binder driver dog H.
$780,"
A shipping tag with letter and num-
Der should then be attached to the
part to assist in quickly locating when
repairs are to be put in place. The
same holds true with reference to
bolts. When housing the machinery

laud, but the want book" and tags

GAIETY OF COLOR WILL RULE
Auaric and a Newer Fabric From Rod
Ter, Called "GriIIwork," Which Has
Fringe, for Spring.

A noticeable innovation Is the dark
colors that dye the cottons and lin
ems for ordinary wear, particularly
toile de Joupy. Instead of the charm
ingly gay, Powered designs We have
long loved under this name, older de-
signs are now presented. These dec
orations, woven in somber shades,
placed solidly together, on a darker
ground or set in stripes, promise,
when combined with pale-tinted, trans
parent stuffs, new attractiveness.
Aside from this one tendency toward
dark colors, gaiety in color and de-

prevented its return among materials
for spring and summer. This rough
stitchery, done by hand or by ma
chine, throwing its roughened surface
onto the thinnest, most delicate OF
transparancies woven in wooden, cot
ton or silk, are oddly beautiful. And
there are new plain, agaric cloths for
spring tailored costumes, woven In
stripes alternating with plain materi-

matching fringe woven in. There is
