1t IS good thing to keep records Of
all the farm operations. They may
seem trivial at the time, y ( some day
are sure TO be of great value and
are a great help and satisfaction in
clearing up difficulties that frequently
arise. 1t requires only a small amount
of work to keep them if the work is
done regularly and Systematically. The
very fact that records are kept makes
one careful of details and interested
in making the things of which the
records are kept turn out the best. 1t
helps enc to have firm grasp on his
affairs and to know just where he
stands In all his work. He knows
whether he is running his farm or any
branch of his farming at a profit or
at loss.
In no branch of farming are records
of more Importance than in dairying.

SELECT BEST TOMATO PLANTS
Gardener Must Aim at Succession
Which Will Provide Supply
Throughout Growing Season.

Much care should be taken in the
choice of tomato plants for setting out
into the field. The small gardener who
depends on plants raised by the more
extensive grower must demand the
best plants from the standpoint of va
riety, health and vigor of the plants.
In determining the variety to be
planted the gardener must aim at
succession which will supply tomatoes
throughout the season. A combination
of varieties that can be highly recon-
mended is, Earlina for real early (pre-
ferably Langden'sl, Chalks Early jew
ell, for mid-seasor, and Stone or Red
rock for the late tomato.
If tomato plants have been given
plenty Of space in the hotbed and
good care from the start they viii
have good stalky growth. Spindly
plants should be avoided The ideal
plant will be from to II inches in
height and have stem measuring in
height at least three-eighths of an inch
in diameter.

PROTECTOR FOR PLANT
One of the Latest Devices on
Market Is Shown in Cut.
Shelter From Hot Sun, Strong Winds
or Cold Night Air Is Afforded to
cabbages, Tomatoes Pep
pers, Etc.

When setting out into the garden or
field such plants as cabbages, tOma-
toes, peppers, etc, which have been
first started in dollhouse or hotbed,
It is Important to protect them from
the hot sun, strong winds or cold night
air for the first few days until they
get accustomed to their new location.
Shingles, tiles, tin cans and what not
have been used by many people for
many years in thus protecting these
tender plants until they get hardened.
Several patented commercial protec-
tors have been placed on the market
in recent years. One of the latest pro
tectors of this kind to be patented is
shown in the accompanying drawing.
1t consists of square wire frame,
four triangular-shaped pieces of sheet
metal and small ring. The base of
each triangular piece of sheet metal is
curved around one side of the wire
frame so as to make a hinge the tip
of one of them is clamped around the
ring. When it is formed into a pro-
tector, it is in the shape OF pyramid !;
when opened up, it is four-pointed
star lying fiat on the ground.
When you want to form it into pro-
tectOr at night, you simply lift up the
four triangles so that their tip ends
come together. then you drop the ring
held by the tip of one of them over
the other three tips and the thing is
formed.
When you want to open it up in the
morning, you simply lift off the ring
and drop all four triangles back onto
