IMPORTANCE OF
FARM HORSES
Animals, In Com bination WI tn
Modern Machinery, Have to
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor.
(By THOMAS P. CoOPERD

At present the horse Is practically
the entire motive power Of the farm.
In com bination with improved farm
machinery. the horse has, to a great
extent, replaced human labor And
the modern farm depends as much
upon the efficiency Of the horse that
is kept to perform the labor as 1t does
upon the use of the human labor upon
the farm. In fact, the efficiency of
human labor upon the farm, and in
many instances the proper operation
of the farm. depends entirely upon
the farm horse. We may readily un-
derstand. therefore, that the farm
horse Is often the greatest single fac
tor in the success of the farming oper-
ations. 1t is essential. then, that the
farm horse be 80 cared for, and the
farm SO organized. that a maximum
return on the horses labor can be
secured annually.
1t is true that horse owners gener-
ally are not accustomed to look upon
the horses of the farm, or their labor
as costing anything. The horse has
been considered SO much Of a neces-
sity. and so much part Of the farm,
that the question Of the cost OF the
horse labor to the farm. or Of the
methods by which such cost may be
decreased. has been very largely neg
lected. The question of economy of
power on the farm is only brought up
at those times when consideration Is
being given to some other form of
motive power than the horse. It is
question. though, that-with increas.
ing cost Of feed. of care, and larger
investment in horses-will constantly
become Of greater and greater i'm
portance.
The cost of horse labor depends
upon many conditions that vary on
each farm. so that costs are not SINH
lar on different farms However, the
items that make up cost are similar
on all farms, and only vary in amount.
It is essential. then, that the farm
operator have an accurate knowledge
Of what comprises cost. and what ave-
rage costs are. that he may institute
such economies in his management as
seem desirable Carefully-kept rec.
ords and accounts with the farm
horse. show that the average cost of
horse labor on the farm is about eight
and one-half cents per hour The rate
seldom averages less, and generally
runs higher This means that the act

BUSINESS METHODS CHANGED
oid-I'me Way Of Selling Merchandise
Through Friendship Has Gone
Out Of Vogue.

In days gone by, business to a great
extent was done on good fellowship.
The salesman who was a good mix
er.' hale fellow well met, who made
friends easily, sold his goods not en-
urely on the merit of the merchandise
but greatly because of his pleasing
personality. The drummer" with a
pocketful of good cigars, Jolly man
ner and a repertoire of funny stories
was a type of successful salesman of
the past
But things in recent years have I'M
dergone a change-business is no long
er done on basis of friendship but on
purely business principles And ad-
vertising has brought about this
change.
Today the successful manufacturer
who has an article Of merit generally
sells 1t to the consumer either directly
or Indirectly through advertising. Di.
Rctly by the mail order system-or
indirectly through the retail stores In
both cases his advertising creates a
demand by influencing the consumer
to ask for the article
The successful salesman Of the pres
ent is not the joking, superficial fellow
who may have been good salesman
years ago-but he Is an intensive, dig
nified, serious-minded business man
who knows his proposition thoroughly
and he sells goods on merit and not
through friendship. And his strongest
argument to the retailer is the adver-
tising of his product to the consumer
and for the following reasons:
An article that can stand the light
Of publicity must possess merit-and
If 1t does, then the consumer will de-
mand 1t. II there is demand for an
advertised brand. the merchant is not
likely to stock up with competitive
non-advertised goods for which there
Is no call
Most articles of merit can be sue
cessfully advertised The manufac-
turer who makes such an article
should advertise 1t to the consumer
and his statesmen should use the ad.

from the retailer-because advertising

/ difference about keeping their diges-
ton right. The calves at our place
require more and take more bedding
than all the other stock put together.
If they are permitted to lie on cold,
damp bed, they take cold and that
they are out of condition is shown by
their rough, staring coat, running
noses and general unhealthy appear
ance.
Nature provides an abundance of
sunlight, good ventilation and chance
for exercise. Look out for all these
things, as they all mean something in
keeping the digestion right and the
building up of a good, strong, physical
frame.
like the good old song, ''Let the
Blessed Sunshine in and believe
it is just as applicable to our COW
stables and calf stables as our Sunday
schools, and also believe we can serve
the Master better by caring for our
stock in such way as will bring about
more healthful condition.
Young animals need special care,
as their growth and development
require all the nourishment there is
in feed, and if we neglect the health
full conditions, then nature will be
thwarted in her endeavor to do her
part.
Don't forget the exercise. l visit
so many barns where calves are kept
in little four by six pen, with con-
ditions just the reverse of what they
should be; dark, damp, gloomy,
ammonia filled air to breathe, no
chances for exercise, and is it any
wonder that the average production
of our COWS is so low when they have
been brought up under these adverse
conditions?
The fall calves usually make the
best growth, possibly one reason be-
ing that we are around the barn more
and notice their condition and can
give them proper attention at the
right time; while in the summer our
work calls us more to the field and
the stock is apt to be neglected. One
quite common trouble with the spring
calf is we want to get it out on pasture
altogether too soon, and skim milk,
grass, flies and hot weather make
mighty poor combination, and for my
part | would rather keep them up
through the summer, feeding them on
good oats and clover and milk, and
by paying attention to the stable con-
ditions and exercise, they will make
a better growth than it turned out.

injured more by not observing care
fully these rules, for the first few
weeks of their lives than any other
way. At this age their little stomachs
are not strong and little care ex
ercised at this time often means the
difference between an Improbable
and profitable animal.
The amount of feed at this time
will depend largely on the calf and
somewhat on the nature Of the milk.
This amount must be determined by
the feeder, but this precaution is
always advisable; better to begin
carefully and work up to what they
can handle, rather than to begin
with large amount and get them off
all over again.
The amount to be fed should not
be determined by guess work, but by
actual weighing or measuring, for !
find it so easy to over estimate.
No artificial heating of milk is so
good as the natural animal heat, which
is about one hundred degrees, and
try to retain this temperature as near
as possible. The mother also fur
nishes the milk in sanitary condi-
ton and we should try to follow her
example in this respect and see that
the pals are kept in clearly condi
ton.
We also notice that quite early in
life the calf will begin chewing on
something, possibly straw or piece
of hay. Now is the time to educate
it to eat oats, and few minutes in
getting its head into basin or box
is time we'll spent. Oats are nourish-
ing and invigorating and the chewing
process has a tendency to start the
saliva which, when mixed with the
gastric juices of the stomach, makes
the digestion easier and more conf
plete. A little nice, bright clover
hay should be reserved for them, and
when they are nicely started on these,
then skim milk can be substituted for
whole milk, but when changing over,
make the change gradually, by taking
out little whole milk and substitute
ing skim in it's place till the whole
feed has been changed over, possibly
requiring a weeks time.

Too many do not really understand
the nature of feeds to know what
brings best results. Nature provided
an easy digested feed for young and
growing animals and ration balanc-
ed with the proper amount OF digest
lille protein. Protein is what makes
the growth and should not be neglect
ed if we are to expect good physical
frame.
THE DAIRY CONFORMATION
In the selection of COW we look to
the conformation somewhat and much
prefer a COW with a good deep body,
and this conformation is desirable in
the calf, as it denotes good, strong
digestive ability, or powers to handle
a lot of feed, and so we like to en-
courage this condition by feeding
bulky rations rather than too much
concentrated food Keep the calves
growing from start to finish, for II
YOU stunt them in their growth, you
weaken or stunt their digestive organs
as we'll, and they never will be as
