Farm Mechanics1.
Every farm should have a work
shop. The building may be large or
small. It is not necessary to have it
very expensive. The tools may be few
or many, but what there are should be
good. No man can do good work with
poor tools, and good tools cost but lit
tle more than poor ones. A building
10 by 12 feet will answer for a black
smith shop with a small vise bench in
one corner. If this Is fitted with a
good chimney, forge, anvil, hammer,
tongs and good steel vise, considerable
blacksmithlng work can be done to advantage.
There should be a small stove to
make the shop comfortable In winter.
This Is very important, because there
is more time to work In a shotf In the
winter, and you can't work with black
smith's tools in a frosty atmosphere.
Carpenter's work is different. A
carpenter's bench may be placed
against the side of the building and
covered with a shed roof, for, if neces
sary, carpenter work may be done out
side if you have a covered place for the
bench and tools.
A much better arrangement Is to
have a blacksmith shop in one end of
a larger building and a carpenter shop
in the other end, with a partition be
tween. There should be no shavings
lying about a blacksmith shop; there
is too much danger from fire. For an
other reason, the two kinds of work
do not, Jibe well together. It Is com
paratively easy to keep a blacksmith
shop in order, but there is a great deal
of litter about a woodworking shop,
and a farmer never flnd3 time to keep
such things neatly In order.
In buying woodworking tools the
best are the cheapest. It Is poor econ
omy to buy cheap tools. Not many are
needed for common repair work, and a
good kit may be had for a few dollars.
Instruction books on mechanics may
help a good deal. The principles may
be studied out and applied In the
shop. The boys on the farm take up
such things easily and often make
good mechanics. Agricultural Epito-nist
STesh Water for Poultry.
It Is essential, that water for fowls
be changed twice daily, at least, and
unless It la kept celan It will occarton
disease. Should a fowl be 111, and the
owner not be aware of It, as It drinks
It Is bound to contaminate the water
from some discharge, perhaps from Its
nostrils or from the breath, says the
Mirror and Farmer. A sick bird, of
course, should always be removed, but
sometimes the farmer or poultryuian is
unaware that the fowl Is sick until it
is too late to undo the harm It has
done by contaminating the drinking
water. The best plan is to keep the
water as fresh and the drinking ves
sels as clean as it Is possible to do. A
few drops of carbolic acid in the drink
ing water will assist In keeping it
pure, but the acid should be used care
fully on account of ItB poisonous quali
ties. Washing the drinking fountains
or vessels dally will do more to keep
the water fresh and pure than any
thing else. When water is allowed to
stantj, even If only for a few hours, on
throwing it out there will be the small
est accumulation of slime in the foun
tain, and if they are refilled without
washing them, the coating Increases
until the water, although freshly put
In, Is unfit for the fowls' us& As the
warm weather advances there Is more
necessity of watching the drinking ves
sels. 1
Increase la Farm Animals.
The Crop Reporting Board of Bu
reau of Statistics of the United States
Department of Agriculture estimates
the numbers and values of farm ani
mals on farms and ranges in the Uni
ted States on January 1, 1909, as fol
lows: Compared with January 1, 1908,
the following changes are indicated:
Horses have increased 648,000; mules,
184,000; milch cows, 526,000; other ca
tie decreased 694,000; sheep increased
1,453,000; swine decreased 1,937,000. In
average value per head, horses increas
ed $2.23; mules, 8 cents; milch cows,
$1.69; other cattle, 60 cents; sheep de
creased 45 cents; swine increased 50
cents. In total value milch cows In
creased $52,888,000; other cattle, $17,-
816,000; sheep decreased $19,104,000;
swine increased $15,764,000. The to
tal value of all animals enumerated
above on January 1, 1909, was $4,525,
259,000, as compared with $4,331,230,-
ouo on January 1, 1908, an increase
of $194,029,000, or 4.5 per cent

Corn Crop of 1008.
The Indian corn crop for 1008,
amounted to 2,643,000,000 bushels. The
crops of three years have exceeded
this, but only the crop of one year
(1906) exceeded it very much. The
value of the crop Is estimated at $1,
615,000,000. The price of corn is ex
ceptionally high. There are only two
years in which the farm price of this
crop was as high as it is for this year,
In 1881 the price was 63.6 cents;
1901, when there was only two-thirds
of an ordinary crop, the price was
60.5 cents. The total value of this
crop is by far the highest ever reach
ed. The crop of 1902 was worth a bil
lion dollars, and the crops of 1904,
1905 and 1906 were worth $100,000,000
more; the great Increase of $300,000,
000 over the crop of 1902 was made In
1907, and now the Increase is $600,000,
000 equal to the gold in the treasury
of a rich nation.1

succeed as an instructor to your royal
