Don't be in hurry to sell off tho
old horses thinking that the young
ones are ready to step in and take
the brunt of the work. Many farmers
make the mistake of selling off early
in the fall the older horses which are
right off the binder and mower. and
in consequence are thin in flesh. with
hair bleached. But no man can get
full value for his horses in such con-
dition. They should be given a chance
to rccuperate. 1t is true that grain Is
high just now and that 1t costs money
to put flesh on horse, but the differ.
ence in price is not all contained d.
rectly in the increase Of weight. Given
a chance to rest up a bit a hard
worked horse will regain his color and
his spirit and his full measure of hoof,
as well as meat. These are all worth
money to the buyer. Some one Is 60

ton for sale. Farmers can do this
cheaper than feeders who have expen.
sive plants to keep up and must bay
all they use.
