How to Keep Tools.

Tools should he kept dry, for mois-
ture causes rust, which is very injuri-
Gus, especially to sharp-edged tools. In
climates where the atmosphere is
moist keep tools in wall cabinet or
tool chest. If the atmosphere Is dry
they may be hung on the wall about
the work bench or arranged on shelves.
1t should be the aim to have a place
for every tool, and then cultivate the
practice of returning ii to its proper
place Immediately upon the compile
ton of the work in hand. very good
plan for keeping the tools in their re-
speCtive places IS first to draw an out
line of each tool in its place upon the
wall and then paint this space black or
some color in contrast with the wall
Itself, so that when any tool is not in
its place its absence viii be readily
apparent.
Many persons are in the habit of
leaving tools where they finish using
them. In the first place a tool can
not be kept in working condition if
allowed to remain exposed to the
weather, and in the second place the
time lost in locating the tool when It
IS next required for use will be much
greater than that which would be re
quired to return it to the proper place.

In handling milk when keeping down

considered but the barn construction
may be such as to tighten the labor
necessary to keep the barn and its
equipment in a clean condition.
The stable should have a hard floor
which can be readily cleaned: for this
reason a dirt floor is undesirable. A ce-
ment floor is easily cleaned and pre-
vents waste of the liquid manure. II

therefore extra bedding is required for

unless the liquid is taken up by absorb

hangers are those which present the
least surface for collecting dust and
dirt and the least obstruction to the
circulation of air. Stalls of wool have

Brighten Bank Barns.

Very few farm buildings con
structed Is or 20 years ago meet the
sanitary requirements of today. Bank
barns are generally dark and damp.
Light is often excluded from one or
more sides, thus making the stable
difficult to keep clean. Stables which
have Easements open on one side for
the manure furnish a breeding place
for flies. Barns which have many ex-
posed beams, braces and lodges on
which dust may lodge are undesirable
In these old types of buildings little or
no attention was paid to proper VENT.

SHEEP INCREASE
NEEDED BY ARMY
Wool Production Now Only so Per
Cent of Amount Required for
Peace Times.
RAISE MORE FOR SOLDIERS
Department of Agriculture Urges More
Attention to Industry Especially in
Eastern and Southern Portions
of Country.

Pointing out the serious shortage of
wool al a time when this material is
of such vital Importance in war opera
tons, the department of agriculture
in its agricultural program for 1918
urges that an effort be made to in
crease the production of sheep and
wool. Increase in farm flocks is rec
commended wherever conditions are
favorable and the first cost of stocking
is not too high
Amount OF Wool Produced. "i"
The wool produced in this country
furnishes only about 80 per cent of
the amount used in peace times; the
war demands have emphasized the
seriousness Of this domestic shortage.
To equip two million soldiers and
clothe them for one year would re
quire the entire quantity of wool
grown annually in this country.
During recent years we have shorn
about 30 million fieeces annually. and
the pulled wool taken from sheep and
lambs slaughtered for meat brings The
total clip up to Che equivalent of about
40 million fleeces. If all this wool
were suitable for military use. It
would supply only two million men.
The production of wool in the United
States has remained practically sta
tionary from 1914 to 1917, while i'm
ports increased 49 per cent and the
estimated net supply increased only
about 81 per cent.
Mutton and Wool
That mutton and wool production In
this country can be increased greatly
admits of no doubt This can be ac-
cOmplished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially in the
Eastern and Southern states. Steps
should be taken in the East and
South to do away with the sheep-kflI-
ing dog menace by state or local
action. Large results can be secured
by improving methods of breeding and
management on the range; by secur-
ing the restocking of improved farm
lands with sheep; by the larger use of
forage crops and pastures; by en-
cOuraging sheep and lamb clubs: by
the elimination of parasites by pro-
lection against losses from predatory
animals; and by having lambs ready
for market at from 20 to so pounds
weight, thereby requiring a minimum
of grain to finish them and making
| possible the maintenance Of larger
breeding fiocks.

easy TO disinfect thoroughly when such
disinfectiOn is necessary in case of an
epidemic. Stalls made of metal
pipes are, therefore, preferable. A
swing stanchion is usually preferred,
as it allows the COW plenty of freedom.
A low, smooth manger without sharp
angles is easy to keep clean. If the
COWS are tied facing the center of the
barn the walkway behind them should
be five feet or more in width so that
the walls will not be soiled by the spat-
tering from the gutter and the ma
nure carrier.

Aiding Farmers by Groups.

One of the important ways In which
a county agricultural agent serves the
farmers in 4 community is by means
of farm management demonstrations.
In most communities there are few
farmers who are much more success
full than the average of the rest of the
farmers in that community, and at the
same time they are working under
very similar conditions, with similar
soil, climate, transportation facilities,
and the same markets. In conducting
farm management demonstrations,
groups of farmers are assisted in keep
ing records of their business. Each
farmer is assisted in determining from
these records what labor income he re
ceives for his years work and what
EACH part of his farm contributed
toward this income. At the same time
he is given certain information regard
ing how some of his more successful
neighbors conduct their business.
