How to Keen Tools.

Tools should be kept dry, for mois-
ture causes rust, which is very injur1-
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 place
for every tool, and then cultivate the
practice of returning 1t to Its proper
place Immediately upon the compile
ton of the work in hand. A very good
plan for keeping the tools In their re-
spective places is first to draw an out
line of each tool in it's 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
it's 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. 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-
uuired to return it to the proper place.

Briohten 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 venti.
latfon and distribution of the light.
Many of them, however, can at small
expense be remodeled to meet all SAN
itary requirements.
