poles were set in two rows four and
one-half feet apart and 1917 feet apart

l took pieces of two by six and put
across from side to side every three
feet to hang the track on. The track
runs down the center between the
rows of posts. For the track | used
a hay carrier with ropes and pulleys

WAYS OF PRESERVING TOOLS
of Waste Dipped in Grease When
ever They Get Wet.

A simple way to preserve tools is
given by Paul Sladsy, instructor in
mechanical practise, at the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin. 1t is simply to
wipe all tools with a piece of waste
or rag, dipped in cup grease, every
time they get damp Machine oil,
while not as good as grease, owing
to the fact that it dries up fast, viii
also serve the purpose.
Water and damp are the worst enc
mics of tools" says Mr.. Sladsy, but
any one who will take little trouble
by having tools last at least twice as
long.
'The farmer is the worst sufferer
from rusty and decayed tools. He
must take them. out under all sorts of
conditions, and many times a year gets
them wet. For that reason you sell
dom see a farm without its quota of
rusty and misused tools. All for lack
of little effort. The mechanic sell
dom has the same trouble as the far
mer. In many cases he works inside
and many others he is working around
oil or grease. If working outside he
has the same problem to meet.
"The only remedy for the tool that
is rusty is to rub it with little emery.
Often the rust can be taken off it at
least The tool will always be rough,
however, and not bright and shiny"

cANADA'S PLACE

Saskatchewan and Alberta" says a
New York financial Journal, "have al

est primary wheat markets of the
world. In 1904 they raised 5S,000,000
bushels of wheat. Five years later
they produced 150,000,000 bushels. In
1913 the crop Appropriated 100000
0G0 bushels. At the present rate of
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third in
the line of wheat producers. Ulti-
mately it will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer of our
development. Undoubtedly it will
prove the same with Canada In the
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars.
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination is
needed to see what the future Gevel-

FARM SPRAYING PUMP
KEEP BUILDINGS SANITARY BY
USE OF WHiTEWASH.
All Structures Should Be Kept Sweet
and Clean by the Liberal and Free
quent Application of Some
Good Disinfectant-

Sanitary methods are now a part of
the days work on modern farms.
Barns, hog pens, dairy buildings, ev-
cry farm building, in fact, should be
kept sweet and fresh and clean by a
liberal and frequent application Of
whitewash or some good disinfectant.
Poultry buildings, in particular, should
receive especial care to prevent lice
and mites taking away all the profits
from the poultry.
Good disinfectants destroy the
germs of contagious diseases, the ex-
ternal parasites, such as lice and
mites, and the embryos of intestinal
worms. Disinfectants should be thor
oughly applied to the interior of the
houses, worked into all the cracks and
crevices, spread over the ceiling and
the floor, the roosts, dropping boards,
and nest boxes. At the same time,
