Looking After Details on Barm
As the old year y>< out and
the new year comes in every
farmer should take an invento
ry of the past years work and
see on which side of the sheet
the balance stands. If the bal
ance be against you then lay
your plans for the new year to
improve by the past ytars ex
perience.
Remember that prompt alien
tion to the small matters in any
business is essential to so cc .s.
At this season of the year if it
ha not already been done all
agricultural tools si: u as har
rows. plows, filth a ors, hoes,
etc should bo fathered up and
all tlie metal parts given a good
roat of heavy machine oil and
the wood painted and placed in
a Roofing is cheaper than
agricultural tools. If the tools
ara properly housed when not
in use they will last nine hlong
or than when left in the weather
Stock, all domestic animals
ought to he comfortably hous
ed with plenty of good bedding
should be well fed and watered
but not allowe to take any cold
•ast rains, snows or severe cold
weather. Your cow will let you
know when she becomes uneom
fortable. When you see her a
shivering in the cold wind near
thebar n, she wants to get in. O
pen the door and let her in. I he
cow should have her forage or
coarse food before the concen
trate or they should be well
mixed.
Manure, in these times when
the demand is for heaver crop
with less labor, it behooves eve
ry farmer to look well uitor the
manure heap. W itH nitrogen
selling at 35c a pound and
phosphoric acid selling at 6c a
pound and potash not to be had
at any price it would pay us wel
to gather this from the sources
at hand, by keeping all stalls
well bedded with oak leaaves
and pine straw we will be able
to accumulate a large amount
during the winter season while
other farm work is not pressing
The leaves and straw that path
er around the edges of the stall
should be raked in each day in
order to get them well mixed
with the manure. It the stalls
are lairge it will be better to
let the manure remain in Hu m
until about ten days before ai
rying to the field. 11 it becomes
necessary to move it before tinn
to carry to the field it should be
carried to a cheap leaky si eu
where it will not be ki l too

Saved $54 on M Dentist Bill
Last September Mrs. Willie M. Lane,
of Tallapoosa, Ga., went to Atlanta
and consulted the One Price Dental
Office, 104’j Whitehall st., Atlanta,
about some dental work. The price
quoted was satis.cry and the work
was done. After she paid the bill and
counted up what t'..- trip had cost she
found that the total outlay was $56.33.
“After I came In mo,” she says \n a
recent letter, ”1 went to see one of our
dentists and asked him what he thought
of the work I had had done in Atlanta
and he said I had a fine job. I asked
him what lie would have charged and
he said SIOO Should ! ever need any
more work done 1 <■<; Luinly will come to
Atlanta and have the work done. I
can't P'. lse yew work too highly.”
