The general opinisn Is that the of.

Every farmer and stockman finds 1t
necessary TO keep some sort or once
Either It is a room devoted entirely
to business purposes or 1t Is part OF
another room fenced of" An idea
Of what such an Office should be was
obtained at the recent live stock ex.
position held In connection with the
ten-day farmers course OF the college
nj agriculture where the department
Of agricultural journalism had ar
ranged model stockmans office.
In this office was included roll
top desk arranged to support type
writer, a small bookcase, revolving
book rack. with dictionary support
attached, swivel chair, and table
supplied with leading live stock jour
nails. Pictures of good live stock were
hung upon the walls. The bookcases
we're filled with agricultural books and
farmers bulletins filed In special IL
brary cases.
This Office was not intended to rep
resent a perfect equipment for the
business farmer. II simply suggested
plan which every one could modify
10 suit himself, as some would be able
10 do their work with less elaborats
equipment than others.

poor handwriting, typewriter Is
more than business luxury; 10 Is
often a necessity. Besides, efficient
typewriters may now be bought so
cheaply that there Ia little excuse for
not possessing one. AS very few farm
houses are properly protected against
fire, 1T may often be advisable to buy
a small family safe in which to keep
money and valuable papers. In case
this costs more than can well be af-
forded, 1t may be advisable TO rent a
safety deposit vault at the local bank.
Every farmer needs q working library.
This should consist OF carefully Sc
lected books dealing with all phases
OF agriculture, besides bulletins of all
kinds properly filed. Good farm pa
pers should also be on every farmers
table, for II is important that the
farmer, and every other business
man, keep in touch with his business.
No farmer who seeks to build up q
reputation should use poor letterheads
OF envelopes, as any appearance OF
cheapness produces bad impression.
Letterheads, catalogues and other
printed matter should be neatly and
attrRctively printed on good paper.

In Wisconsin we actually lose from
to 80 per cent. of the entire egg
crop through careless gathering and
marketing. A large percentage OF this
loss is due to the fact that the eggs
start to grow, and then die, spelling
rapidly. On a farm where 100 hens
are kept and where each hen lays only
100 eggs year, loss OF 20 per cent.
would mean $500 eggs from that farm
alone. These, at conservative esti
mate, would be worth $40, or enough
money with which to buy good kitch-
IN range.
Careless methods of gathering are
probably the cause of most spoiled
eggs. especially in summer. Many
nests are never discovered until the
eggs are far advanced In incubation.
As it takes only a few hours to start
growth in the egg, any neglect in
gathering will spoil their keeping
qualities.
