AUTOMOBILES.
Was Your Horse One
of the 1000?

There were 100000 horses hauling loads in New
York daily until the hot spell settled upon the city
Twelve hundred of these horses died in harness
from the heat.
Almost of every ten. And thousands
more wind broken ruined for hard service.
It's hard to-day to buy good horse for $3.50.
Yet if these horses each were worth $3.50 the
total loss in horsehesh would have been 100000.
But this not the most important loss. Think
of the delayed deliveries, the lost business, the
chaos in the transportation systems.
100000 is lot of money. 1t would purchase
100 mighty good motor trucks. These trucks would
last twice long the horses. According to
figures in the Department of Agriculture the average
life of truck horse is in the neghborhood of only
four years.
Motor trucks never die.
Sometimes parts of them give out just like parts
of any machinery. If a motor ceases to show life
after long service a new be installed. Or
new brakes, transmission, wheels, new
aXles new tires or any part
A motor truck in fact, really has perpetual life.
Motor trucks succumb to heat They
travel as far and fast sizzling day as cool
day. They never tire. They travel as rapidly at the
end OF the day as at the beginning. They can work
extra hours without effort

FEED CUTTER QUITE USEFUL
Little Machine 10 Particularly Benen.
cIsI In ChoppIna Hay and Fodder
for Animals.
(By r.. G. wEATHERsToNE)

10y II. u. w ION -
No farmer who owns even three
head of stock can afford to be without
feed cutter. although there are
thousands OF good sized farms that
have never yet introduced this useful
little machine.
In England 80 per cent. OF all the
farmers use cut feed, only 10 per cent
being adverse to the use of the cutter
The feed cutter is particularly bene-
fetal in chopping hay and fodder, be-
cause the quantity may be more cas-
lily measured, and when chopped and
mixed with a small amount of water
all dust is prevented.
When hay is scarce, clean oat straw
chopped with hay and mixed with
bran or meal, and slightly moistened
aids mastication and digestion.
Chopped feed is particularly good
| for work horses when they have but
| TO feed. horse is unable to masti
cate a sufficient amount of roughage
within a few minutes, and where the
| feeding time is shortened by stress
of work the feed should always be
chopped.
These machines can be run by pow
or or hand, and are 80 inexpensive
that the cost Is no reason why every
| farmer should not avail himself o
their use.

Twentieth Century Determination.

Twentieth Century Dissemination.
In the olden times the farm was a
general loaflng place in the winter.
The farmer loafed at the store or
smith shop; the cows loafed in the
stable, as the milk pals proved; the
horses loafed and grew soft and fat In
their stalls, and the very hens loafed
on the roost waiting for spring before
beginning TO lay eggs, says the Farm
Journal. A wonderful awakening has
GOMEZ The modern farmer is on the
Job every day Of the winter; the cows
are doing their best to provide plenty
of 50-cent butter, and the cheerful
cackle of the hens on these bright
winter days attests the fact that they
are inspired by the twentieth century
determination to make good at Al
cents q dozen.

Orchard and Garden.

Plan for a variety of vegetables. Try
Swiss chard, kale, endive. Brussels
sprouts and others not usually found
in the home gardens. Vegetables
which are liked the best by your
family should be planted In succession.
Such crops as peas. bush beans. sweet
corn. beets and radishes should be
planted at intervals of ten days or two
weeks to supply succession.
There IN too much handwork In
most home gardens. So much Is un-
necessary. A seed drill will sow In a
few minutes as much as can be plant
ed by hand In one hour. Many farmers
who do not have seed drills could
easily afford them. They sow more
regularly and at more uniform depth
than is possible by hand
Do not plant lima beans in the open
until the ground Is quite warm. The
bush limas are becoming more popular
and are planted at same distances as
ordinary bush beans.
Take chances In planting some sweet
corn ten days or two weeks earlier
than usual. If it fails the loss will be
slight. and II there is no mishap the
gain may be- great.
II some cucumbers have been started
under glass a planting of seed should
also be made in the open to insure q
crop late In the summer and during
the early fall.
Hubbard squash should be more gen.
orally grown and used on town and
country tables. When properly cooked
and seasoned 1t is delicious vegetable
and Is available for use from October
until June. The hills should be by
feet apart and enriched with rotten
manure unless the land is quite fertile.
They may also be grown in rows eight
feet apart. drilling the seed and thin
