Securing the hay crop was for
nerly one of the most laboriouS job,
OF the year. But SO much is now
done by horse power that on smooth
farms riding is about the hardest
labor required. 1t is also possible
to get hay in better condition now
than formerly, when ever, thing
had to be done by hand, and OF
course slowly Much hay is still
spoiled; but larger area is put in
this crop than was possible former
lY, and on an average it saved in
better condition. 1t is doubtful.

vice observations prognosticate
coming storms more reliable than

One COW will eat the same as

lures the eight sheep Will get ii
good living where the average COW
would starve. 1t is question
these eight sheep with their pro-
duet of wool and lambs would not
net more money than the COW, de
Quoting labor of milking and car
ing for the milk. A herd of twelve
to fifteen COWS will occupy one
mans time pretty fully i'll feeding

extra work in the house, and when
made into either butter or cheese
does not net much after paying fol-
the labor. Again there can be nc
question that Il flock of well-bred

cragc profit from feeding steers OF

of the states, including Massachusetts, had
excellent bankruptcy laws, but these state
laws We're absolutely local, and The laws of

other states Even the Massachusetts,
bankrupt law had numerous defects, but it
answered tairly well for local pur-
poses. Judge lowell suggested bill
which would provide that a .salaried
supervisory Officers b. appointed under the
government 10 supervise all bankru ptcy
cages, gust as the insurance commissioner

advocated the bill recently introduced into
