losing breath when playing instrument?

I still breathe, but it I still feel like I still don't have any breath left after two measures. I also find it hard to know where and when to breathe.BTW can anyone tell me when it's convenient to swallow 'cause I'm getting a lot of saliva in my mouthpiece. I play baritone.

    Ok Here are some hopefully helpful tips. For better breathing take your palm and make it flat and then turn it sideways and put it on your lips and breath in for four counts then move your hand in front of you and blow for four beats, and work your way up. For saliva problems, try to swallow during rests. Hope that helps!
