A Tool House And Work Shop

How many farmers in the West have a place provided under cover, where tho va rious tools of tho fartn may, when not in use, be stored ? A larga majority store such a8 they can in -various places, leaving many fully exposed to the elements. If ouly the few have proper and ampie shelter for implements, a far less number have a work-shop, or place piovided with proper tools for such repairs as any farmer ought to be able to inake. And yet, in a room comfortably warmed, s large saving in expense might be made each year. A few hours now and then in winter, when labor could not be performed out of doors, would put many farm tools and implements in order, against the time of need, and save the travel of miles, perhaps, to and from some distant shop. Next to the work shop, a proper place for storing farm implements is one of the indispensable adjuncts of good farming. This should be so arranged as to be secure from the weather, and also large enough so that a team can be driven through. - This will enable yon to store reapers, and mowers, stacking machíes, seeders, harrow8, and cultivators easily, while the lighter implements may be placed overhead, ot hung to the wall, and still leave room in which to leave wagons, sleds, and other vehicles when not in use. The waste on agrieultural implements from exposure is greater than the wear and tear from actual use. If the farmer will count the cost of his iraplements and the expense of building a sheil to store them, he will soon come to the conclusión that he cannot afford to let them lie in the weather when not in use, even for short periods.
