IMPORTANCE OF
FARM HORSES
Animals. In Combination with
Modern Machinery, Have to
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor.
Gy THOMAS p. COOPER,

At present the horse is practically
the entire motive power Of the farm.
In combination 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 so 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 a 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. 1t 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.
II 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-ha1f cents per hour. The rate
seldom averages less. and generally
runs higher. This means that the act
ual cost. on the farm, OF horses
labor for ten-hour day. is IS cents,
or S1.70 for team

He knows that a little brains and

The best thing to do is to separate
the ewes and lambs entirely If pos
sible give the lambs fresh pasture
on which no sheep have been grazed
for year. This is to avoid the
dreaded stomach worm.
One way that has been found good
is to turn the lambs into patch OF
rape and allow them to Craze 1t down
Some like to let the rape get six or
eight inches high before turning In on

the three or five-inch plant to the
larger and woodier growth
Often after the rape is eaten, the
meadows have started up afresh so
that the lambs can be turned into
them and allowed to eat the fresh,
tender herbage that springs up with
the first shower.

nothing feels the effect OF this more

OF this
The wool OF the lambs being longer

you place pert pair of wings or a

back. and the back trimming must
show trifle above the high crown,
from front view. Many of the hats
may be reversed and worn any way
that proves becoming For example,

rolled brtm faced with a lighter col

come at the back and the hat would

Turner Junction, now part OF Chi
cago. saw his opportunity. He went
to Texas as salesman and soon took
enough orders to swamp the manufac-
tory for which he was working. Then
he asked for share in the profits
and was refused. He became a manu-
facturer himself, establishing a plant
at st. Louis. and soon found himself
involved in lawsuits over patents. He
moved into another state where the
court injuctions issued against him
could not reach him, finally won his
case and continued for a time sue
cessful career as maker of barbed
wire
Gates never turned his back upon
opportunity and he saw opportunity
beckontng to him. He began organiz-
ing and consolidating wire companies.
g organized the Consolidated Steel
and Wire company. which was capi.
talized at s90.OOo.000. and which he
sold to the Federal Steel company
Then followed the American Steel and
Wire company, capitalized at 100000
900, and little later the United
States Steel corporation. with which
Gates companies were merged. was
formed. He made millions out of
these deals and other millions out of
railway and Industrial stocks.
During his spectacular plunging in
Wall street, which he entered soon
after the close Of the war with Spain,
various attempts were made to break
him. Occasionally his wings were
somewhat singed. but he was never
seriously wounded and he made the
financial interests of Wall street reck-
on with him.
In wheat and corn corners he is said
to have made millions. He had near
ly perfect system OF getting informa-
ton of things which might affect Wall
street. His own eyes were always
open and when he could not look far
enough ahead he paid others to do his
scouting
Gates business training began early
Before he was sixteen he contracted to
husk a neighbors corn and made
enough money to buy an interest In
threshlng machine He happened to
strike year of bumper crops and he
succeeded SO well that he was able to
buy out his partners. Giving his
threshing machine as security, he
bought piece OF woodland, converted
it into firewood, cleared $1,000 and
still had his threshing machine And
he was not then eighteen years of age.
Some of Gates spectacular ventures
were on the turf. and with many sue
cesses to his credit here he invaded
England and is said to have made ST.
375,000 one season. He was man of
