Magazine: The Farmers Guide is a recipe magazine about protecting a farm. It teaches a scarecrow for the fields and barbed wire for the fences.
Reading it teaches two recipes. Make Scarecrow builds a Scarecrow from sticks, old clothes and straw. Make Barbed Wire from Wire twists plain Wire into Barbed Wire.
The magazine is a loot find. Farm buildings, garden stores, gun stores and hunting lodges hold it most often, and zombies dressed as farmers carry it now and then.
Uses
Both recipes are open at any skill level.
Make Scarecrow takes two Long Stick or Sapling for the frame. It also needs a pair of long johns and four ties of Rag, Rag (Dirty), Twine, Rope or Sheet Rope. The stuffing is the big cost: one hundred Hay or Grass Cutting. The result is a Scarecrow.
Make Barbed Wire from Wire is quick. It takes one Wire, with pliers kept. The result is one Barbed Wire.
Barbed Wire feeds a few other recipes. Barbed Wire Fence builds a fence at Carpentry level 5. Barbed-Wire Wrap Weapon wraps it around a Broom, Ice Hockey Stick or Plunger. Make Wire from Barbed Wire turns it back into plain Wire.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.

Locations
Magazine racks in gun stores and hunting lodges are the best places, with a fair chance. Book store shelves come next. Farm dressers, wardrobes and counters hold one now and then. Zombies dressed as farmers carry one at a similar rate. Garden store counters give a fair chance too. Homes turn one up in bathrooms, bedroom boxes, closets and attics.
