How to Keen Tools.

Tools should be kept dry, for mois-
ture causes rust which is very injurf.
Gus. especially to sharp edged tools. In
climates where the atmosphere Is
moist keep tools In a wall cabinet or
tool chest. II 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. A very good
plan 70. 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. 50 that when any tool is not in
its place its absence will 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 II
allowed to remain exposed to the
weather. and in the second place the
time lost In locating the tool when 1t
is next required for use will be much
greater than that which would be re-
quired to return 1t tothe proper place.

fish and cook carefully not to break II.
then drain carefully and let II simmer
in a drawn butter sauce. Serve with
baked potatoes. A most delicious
white sauce for Goldfish Is made BY
pairing 1t In the same way.
Onions are delicious baked In their
skins then peel them. season with but
ter, pepper and salt or cream. or II

quite q different favor. Another de-
iicious way to prepare onions Ii to
roast them In the ashes or on the ledge
Of the furnace. Do not peel them as
the skin will often be burned and II
will be necessary to use care to re
move all the charred portions.
Onions are also delicious stuffed
with sausage. and baked. basting dur
ting the baking with the fat and some
water.
Every particle Of vegetable water
not used as sauce for the vegetable
when serving 1t. should be saved. Add
II to the soup kettle, II potato water,
use II to stew meat or soup meat,
for gravies. griddle cakes or pastry,
when well chilled. The valuable min.
eral salts contained In vegetable wa
ter should not be wasted.

One Of the important ways IN whfch
q county agricultural agent serves the
farmers In community Is by mems
Of farm management demonstrations
In most communities there are a few
farmers VINO 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 coalitions. 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.

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 q breeding place
for flies. Barns which have many ex.
posed beams. braces and lodges on
which dust may lodge are undesirable
