PROVIDE SPAGE FOR IMPLEMENTS Farmers Will Find Combined Horse Barn and Shed a Great Convenience. STRUCTURE SHOWN IN DETAIL in This Building, Designed by Experts, Arrangements for Every Sort of Tool Needed on the Farm May Be Made With Perfect Precision. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he {s, without doubt, the chest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Rad- ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, il, and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Most favmers do not care to allow the money they spend in farm ma- hinery to > wasted by the rapid dete rioration o. this machinery from ex- posure to the elements. Quite often t is possible to give up a portion of e of the barns to the implement torage space. The combined horse rn and implement shed is a common ind useful structure. There are ad- vantages In building an entirely sep- e structure for housing the farm iplements, As a rule there are enough duties to be performed in con- 1ection with the maintenance of farm machinery to warrant the construc- tion of a separate building. A farm workshop is a necessary thing and the implement shed furnishes an excellent location for it. The type of structure will depend to a certain extent upon the farm up- x1 which it is located, but there are a few things which should be included un such a structure, no matter what its urroundings. The floor construction aud the arrangement and size of doors should be given considerable attention. lhe design illustrated here suggests a tructure which is well adapted to the purpose, and the cost of ifs erection s not exc ve. It is 24 feet in width by 50 feet in ength, There is a 16-foot door in each nd for the sy entrance of the larger arm implements, and there is a small smali ussorument of cold chisels, Punches, hammers, wrenches and tongs, will enable a farmer to do a good deal of blacksmith tinkering and save many trips to town during the busy season, when time is an object. A few carpentér's tools, such as WS, & Square, a couple of good heavy hammers, with « brace and bits and a few wrenches and half a dozen chisels will give a handy farmer enough tools to do extensive repairing. Farm machinery and implements are made with standard patterns so thet repairs may be ordered for almost any implement manufactured. There are so many different patterns that mistakes may occur in filling an order, so it is a good plan to get all such orders off to the factory a long time before the machines are needed. The difference between preparing a good seedbed in the spring or doing a hur- ry-up job at the fag end of the seed- ing season depends more upon manage- ment in this respect than upon hard work or extensive seeding outtits. A good implement shed is a valuable acquisition to any farm, because it places a farmer in a position to attend | to little things at the proper time to prevent trouble later. In building an implement shed it is| a good plan to use plenty </ concrete | in the foundation, and if it has a con- crete floor the full size of the build- ing, the machines may be moved about much easier. | The object of a machinery shed is to} protect farm implements and machines | from the weather. If machines stand on the ground, moisture comes up from below suflicient at times to rust every iron part of a machine that Is not cov- ered with paint, oil or grease. A floor for the purpose of preventing this damage should be made the way a sidewalk is constructed. The ground | is laid off in divisions 4 or 5 feet in} width by 2-by-4 that is held in place | by stakes, he top of the 2-by-4 is| leveled so the concrete when filled in and tamped and properly surfaced with a layer of cement mortar is struck off level with the top of the 2-by-4 guide. That's Gratitude. Conrad Keller, Justice of the peace, | was for 30 years a druggist in Indian- apolis, and many years ago, Keller ys, when he was a single man, he slept in a room in the rear of his drug store. | Late one night, after he had gone to | bed, he heard a knock at the front dor and arose and opened it. A man living in the neighborhood entered and asked whether he might use the tele- | phone to call the doctor for his little | daughter, who was seriously ill. The Farm Implement Storage Barn. floor in the side to be used when pass- ng in and out and for the carrying 1 of hand tools and other small farm tmplements. Furm machinery and implements preciate about 10 per cent a year when they are properly housed and pt painted. The loss from leaving ools out in the weather is enormous. An implement shed constructed in this lanner is a great convenience in doing cepair work. All farm machines require overhaul- ‘ng in the winter time to put them in 1 thorough working condition during he busy time in spring. A house of his kind makes it easy to take the machines apart and examine every wheel and every casting, so that the worn parts may be replaced and the whole machine gone over with paint or inseed oil. This implement house has a concrete wall extending all around the outside IMPUMENT SICeAGL aes = eee and it has a concrete floor to keep the tools gnd machinery up from the sround and to keep them dry to pre- vent rusting. ‘The sides and ends are built in the usual ~way by using a light sill and 2-by-4 studding covered with drop sid- ing o clapbeards, The roof is con- structed by 2-by-4 rafters with matched roofing boards covered with roll roof- ing. The advantage in using matched roofing boards is to prevent the wind from flapping the roll roofing. Good roofing boards will sometimes double the lasting qualities of the roof. Some farmers build a regular repair shop in one end or in the center. The ‘hop is provided with a blacksmith kit and all the necessary woodworking tools to make small repairs on any farm machine or implement; such work as replacing lost bolts or broken braces, or worn parts with new ones is done in the winter time, between chore periods. But a farmer is helpless without tools. It is mot necessary to collect &n expensive outfit of blacksmith’s, | request was granted.

I didn’t like to wake you up again, so I went down there.” ma “Just to square yourself now,” Kel- ler coneluded, “you go down to the other corner to call the doctor the next time, and come up to me to get the prescription filled.” — Indianapolis News. Blight-Killed Wood Valuable. The department of agriculture has issued a circular to the effeet that ex- periments conducted by the forest serv- ice of the department to determine the value of chestnut wood that has been blight-killed, show that it is just as durable as healthy timber, Posts, poles and ties made from infected timber show that, after three years’ use, they are as sound as timber not infected. Blight-killed timber, which had sea- soned on the stump for several years, and which hed lost its bark, resisted decay better than healthy wood from which the bark was not removed. Quit Colleges for Munition Shops. To help torward meeting the ever- increasing demand for munitions of war numerous groups of young stu- dents belonging to more than 200 Ital- lan state universities have signified their willingness to quit the lecture halls for the workshops, In eneourage- ment of this movement the Italian government has decided to grant ex- ceptional concessions in the matter of studies, exemptions and degrees, so that their patriotism may not prove a handicap to the volunteers in ture professional career.

For economy let us use more milk, it is a waluable food and one quart even at 15 cents has as much nufrition as three- quarters of a pound of beefsteak which has a large amount of waste. Milk is without waste, therefore a most ecenom- ical food. If skim milk is used largely, when set- ting the sponge for bread, the prod- uct will be more highly nutritious, less shortening Is used and a tasty loaf will result. Potato Soup.—Cook and mash three medium-sized potatoes. In a quart of milk, skim milk may be used, add a slice of onion and a stalk of celery; scald and remove the vegetables, pour over the mashed potato. Ip a sauce- pan put two tablespoonfuls of butter, if the milk is skimmed, one if whe milk is used; add two tablespoonfrts of flour, a teaspoonful of salt, and when well blended add a little cold milk and pour it into the soup. Boll up and serve piping hot with toasted crackers. Cream of Tomato Soup.—In a sauce- pan melt three tablespoonfuls of but- ter, add three and a half tablespoon- fuls of flour and stir until smmvoth, add ® teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of chopped onion, then add a pint of canned tomato: mixing well, Add oda and onion, return to the fire after straining and pour this mixture, slight- ly cooled into a cupful and a half of milk. Reheat and serve hot. Do not boll or the soup will curdle. Cheese Soup.—Scald a quart of milk, add a slice of onion, a blade of Tmuce, and a pepper pod. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a sauce- pan, add the same amount of flour, when well blended add the m!!', re- moving the seasonings, anf cook until creamy. Just before serving add a haéf cupful of grated cheese, two egg yolks, well beaten, salt and pepper to taste, stir until the cheese is melt- ed. Serve at once. The cream soups which are so nourishing and which are made of various vegetables may all be made with skim milk, adding a little more butter to the flour for the binding, thus giving the food its right balance of fat.

Bananas are like the poor, always with us, and the many ways that this wholesome fruit may be served is legion. Banana Pie. — Rice enough peeled bananas to fill a cup. To this add half a cupful of sugar, two tahlespoonfuls of mo- lasses or the grated rind and juice of half a lemon, half a teaspoon- ful of salt, one beaten egg, one-third of a tea- cinnamon, half a cupful spooniul of of milk, and a third of a cupful of cream. Mix all together thoroughly and bake until firm in a pie plate Mned with pastry. Nougatine Cake.—Make a fine, light butter cake and bake in a shallow pan about three-quarters of an inch thick when done. Cut this into squares and cover both top and sides with a creamy thick chocolate frosting, filled with minced and browned al- monds. The nuts are ground fine and then browned and sprinkled thick in- to the frosting. Mexican Rabbit.—Melt a tablespoon- ful of butter in a saucepan, add half a pound of American cheese, cut up in fine bits; stir until the cheese melts, add three-fourths of a cupful of corn- meal and a large red pepper, cut in squares or shreds; then add the yolks or two eggs, beaten, and mixed with half a cupful of thick tomato puree, half a teaspoonful of salt, and half a teaspoonful of paprika; stir con- stantly until the mixture is thick and smooth. Have ready four slices of toasted bread, toasted on one side only, Cut a clove of garlic in halves and touch the untonsted side of the hot bread here ang there with the garlic; pour over the rabbit and serve at onte. A carefully poached egg may be set above each slice, which will fur- nish a hearty meal.

A few tablespoonfuls or half a cupful of sour cream is valuable these days, and should be used with economy. Sour Cream Salad) Dressing—Whip a cup- ful of sour cream with a little lemon julee or pine- apple juice for flavoring, season with salt, a little Sugar and use on fruit or tables. When vegetables are used for the salad a bit of red pepper, mus- tard or worcestershire sauce maybe added. Sour cream may be substituted for sweet cream in any salad dressing. Cottage Cheese,—Pour boiling water over a dish of thick sour milk, which will cook the milk enough so that it may be drained in a sieve, Season with plenty of cream, salt, a dash of red pepper and some melted butter, if there’s not,enough cream to give it richness. If plenty of boiling water is used, this method makes a tender curd’and is quickly made, Sour Cream Cookies.—Cream a half cupful of butter, add one and a half | number 265,4: cupfuls of sugar, a half cupful of sour cream, two eggs, a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the cream; mix well, add flour to roll, sprinkle the top with sugar, a Sour Cream Pie.—This ple is baked with two crusts and ts delicious.

OO LABEL LEGEND BARRED Uncle Sam Prohibits Misleading Guaranty on Packages. | Under New Plan Familiar Statement Regarding Food and Drugs Act Cannot Be Used on Containers. The legend, so familiar in the past on food and drug packages, “Guaran- teed by manufacturer under the food and drugs act, June 30, 1906, serial 24," Is disappearing from labels, A method for guaranteeing foods and drugs which will be le; misleading to the public has been pr vided by Uncle Sam's charge of the enforc and drugs act. Under the new plan manufacturers may guurantee their products on the invoice or bill of sale, or by certain other methods, but ac- cording to a food inspection decision which became effective on Novem! 1, 1916, they muy not make any statement regurding the guaranty or serial num- ber on the label of packages of foods or drugs which enter interstate or foreign commerce. Originally it was provided in the rules and regulations that the manu- facturer or wholesaler who desired to guarantee that his products complied with the food and drugs act might file a general guaranty with the depart- ment of agriculture to the effect that the foods or drugs he shipped into in- terstute commerce were not s#dulter- ated or misbranded within the mean- ing of that act. Upon the re pt of a properly executed guaranty the de- partinent assigned a serial number to the manufacturer or wholes: who filed the guaranty. The manufacturer or wholesaler was authorized to use this number on his labels to indicate that the guaranty which he had filed with the department cov- ered the products on which the number was used. After this method had been in operation for some time it was found t the guaranty legend on the label was misleading to the public. It was incoirectly assumed by consumers generally and some retail dealers that the guaraaty legend on the label meant that a saraple of the product had been exaiiined by the United States depart- ment of sgriculture, and that in effect the United States department of agri- culture actually guaranteed the prod- uct. The foed and drugs act provides that no dealer shall be prosecuted under the provisions of that act when he can establish a guaranty signed by the wholesaler, jobber, manufacturer, or other party residing in the United states, from whom he purchased arti- cles of food and drugs. The object of this provision is to make the manu- facturer or wholesaler or person who knows the composition of the food and drug products responsible for their compliance with the provisions of the law. In many cages a dealer does not know the composition of the prod- ucts he sells, and cannot afford the ex- pense of having an analysis made in order to determine it for himself. A proyison, therefore, was inserted in the law to the effect that, if the deal- er secured a guaranty from the manu- facturer or wholesaler or other person from whom he purchases, the party making the guaranty would be re- sponsible under the law, and the deal- er would be relieved of responsibility. The guaranty was never intended to be, and never has been, In any sense a guaranty by the department of agri- culture. officials a ment of the food Japanese Merchant Marine Grows, The United States commercial at- tache at Peking reports that tonnage of ships flying the Japanese flag has been increased from 125,000 to 155,000 since 1914 and now constitutes 55 per cent of the total carrying capacity of easels plying between Asiatic and American ports. Japan has increased her home-built merchant tonnage from nothing to 2,158,000 since 1890, jon. Compensati He—The person who offers me a drink insults my principles. .

Will Be Able to Carry Lines to Wrecked Ships and Rescue Many Who Otherwise Might Perish. Uncle Sam's coast guards soon will be using airplanes to rescue passen- gers and satlors from ships wrecked along the coast of the United States, Authority for the adoption of these new life-saving methods already has been granted by congress. It is quite naturally the idea of officials that In the saving of human life and property from the elements, which is one of the principal functions of the coast guard, advantage should be taken of all new inventions and methods, Officials of the guard are of the opinion that aviation has ad- vanced to such a stage that aircraft us now constructed and developeg can be used advantageously in the activi- ties of the coast guard, It has been pointed out by those who are interested in this new branch of the service that when a shipwreck oc- curs too far from the shore to be reached with the line-throwing gun, and the state of the sea makes it im- possible to use the service boats, it is believed possible to carry a Mne to the wreck by means 6f an airplane, and thereby effect the rescue of per- sons who might otherwise perish. The finding of derelicts soor after they are first reported is of such vitel impor- tance that their ultimate recovery and removal from the paths of commerce ofttimes depends entirely upon the rapidity with which they are definitely located, the experts say. The value of airplanes in this connection has passed beyond the realm of specula- tion, and there is now no doubt that the use of aircraft will greatly factli- tate this important work of the coast guard, the supporters of the move- ment say. Anticipating that the const guard must adopt. this new method of life saving a3 soon as practicable, three ju- nior officers have already been as- signed to undergo training at naval aviation and private schools, in order to form the nucleus of a force trained for aviation purposes. Aside from the humanitarian possibilities of this prop- osition, It is pointed out that aviation facilities provided for the coast guard will be a valuable addition to’ naval aviation equipment in time of war, MUCH CHOCOLATE USED HERE Imports of Crude Cocoa During Past Year Reach Total of 243,232,000, Double Figures of 1910. That people of the United States have u growing, fondness for choco- lates and cocoa Is indicated by Uncle Sam's figures on the imports of crude cocoa into the United States during the last fiscal year. According to statistics compiled by the department of commerce, a total of 243,282,000 pounds of crude cocoa were purchased abroad during the year, which is 50,- 000,000 pounds tore than was bought in 1915 and double the imports of 1910, The value of the imports in 1916 was $34,144,000. This is not to be accounted for by decreased imports of manufactured cocoa and chocolate, because we are buying such products in about the usual quantities. Nor is it because we are shipping abroad larger quantities of prepared cocoa and chocolate, It is due solely to a growing taste for choco- late and cocoa, especially the former.
