FARM AND SCHOOL PROBLEMS. 



The following is a fair list of the major items of farm equip- 

 ment as found on some of the best farms of the middle West 

 States. 



A study of the construction, use, repair and care of tools 

 would undoubtedly mean a great saving to agriculture, through 

 economy of time, as well as saving in unnecessary cost of repairs. 



One of the important points that should be emphasized in 

 farm economy is the construction of a well-arranged tool shed 

 for housing of the important- and costly tools of the farm.

 for certain work could be housed and removed quickly and easily. 

 There should be a place for every thing and everything easily 

 accessible.
