The Cost Of
Horse Labor.
BY Thomas p. Cooper, Mime

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 up
on the efficiency of the horse that is
kept TO perform the labor as it 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 directly upon the
farm horse We may. readily under
stand, therefore. that the farm horse
is often the greatest single factor in
the success of the farming operations.
II is essential. then. that the farm
horse be so cared for. and the farm 50

the horses labor can be secured an
uually.
The labor of horses constitutes ono
Of the heavy items in the cost Of farm
ing and of crop production. Almost
Ore-haIf of the gross cost of operating
the ordinary diversified farm" is
made up of horse labor. Thus, the
question of economical management
of horse labor on the farm becomes OF
vital Importance to the farm manager.
A saving Of 800 per year in horse
labor is exactly as important as sim
liar economy in the use Of man labor.
When it is considered that the average
farm of the state uses labor to the
value of, or that costs, $500 to 5000
annually, the Importance Of this phase
of farm business is seen to be ire.
mendous.
If horse or team is hired, the cost
Is readily realized and ascertained.
The fact that a cash payment has been
made and feed given for the services
of the team is an item which Is i'm.
pressed upon the mind. But horses
working or the farm. even though
owned, cost a certain amount for their
LABOR, as truly as IL hired by the DAY
dr the month. This is not cash cost
to the farmer; but it is the equivalent
oil cash, for the cost is made up OF
materials or labor Of value.
The cost OF horse labor depends up
on many conditions that vary on each
farm, so that costs are not similar on
different farms. However, the items
that make up cost are similar on all
farms, and only vary in amount. 1t Is
essential. then, that the farm opera
tor have an accurat9 knowledge oil
what comprises cost, aud what aver

er we'll knows, certain hogs are nat
urally immune; i. e., resistant to hog
cholera infection. When such hogs
pass through an outbreak, receiving
infection from which they recover,
they become, as a rule, permanently
and for all practical purposes abso-
lutely immune. One of these expo
sure-immune hogs may occasionally ne
made, under certain abnormal condi-
tions, to take cholera.
1t has been proved that when sucn
ic.lnlNe hogs are treated with large
doses of virulent blood from sick
hogs, it does not kill them. although
very small doses of the same blood
may kill susceptible hogs in 4 few
days The immune hogs, treated by
large doses of this virus, develop. in
their own blood something which has
the power of protecting ordinary su3-
ceptible hogs from infection. The
immune hog, after receiving the large
doses of virulent (disease-producinS)
blood, becomes what we call hyper
immune, l. e., very highly i,nmun-
lied hog, and will hereafter be re-
ferred to as the hyper" or the ny
perimmune" The ordinary immune
hog may be converted into q hyper
immune by either one of the several
different methods. He may be treated
either by incubation under the skin
with very large doses of blood from
sick hogs, or by incubation with
much smaller doses directly into a
vein, or by injection of the virus di
rectly into the abdominal cavity. We
now prefer the vein injection method
because it requires only about one
half as much virus blood, and is quick
er and perhaps more certain of pro-
ducing fully potent serum.
When blood from such specially
treated immune hogs, |. e., from the
! hyperimmune, is injected int the
bodies of susceptible hogs, they in
| turn become immune for time
During this short period of immunity
| we can expose such vaccinated hogs
to cholera in the pen. or give them
injections under the skin Of very
| small doses of virulent blood. In either
case, we have given susceptible hogs
| first, treatment which enables them
to resist the disease; and. second, we
have given them the disease, from
which they recover and become per
| manently immune.

Many farmers find that the cost OF
horse labor may be materially de-
creased by the use of brood mares on
the farm. These may be bred annual
ly; and they can easily accomplish an
average. amount of labor, and at the
some time raise foal The colts may
be raised until four or five years OF
age, and then sold. The number of
aged .work-horses required upon the
farm may be naturally decreased by
this method, as the three and four
year-old colts may be used in their
place. By this means, depreciation is
largely eliminated as an item in the
cost, and the interest charges are
lessened; for three or four-year-old
colt is increasing in value, and is sub
ject to only the small charge OF insur-
ance or liability of death. About five
horses are kept to do the work on the
average 100 to 1S0-acre farm. IL
this method of handling the horses
were adopted, three brood mares
should be kept and bred annually This
would probably insure two colts each
year. If the colts were retained until
the fall Or late summer Of the fourth
year (about the age and season at
which they would bring top prices),
and then sold, the two colts over three
years and two over four years, with
the three mares, could easily accom-
plish the work that would be per-
formed on the farm By the five horses
ordinarily kept. This method is par

ery Advisable.


So long as the results remain I'm
determined, which will follow the
growth of intelligent cooperation
among small farmers in the ownership
of the costly machinery, and in the
use of wholesale methods, now sup
posedly available only on very large
farms, no one is entitled to claim
economic superiority for the large
farm, as does Professor L. H. Bailey,
in a deliverance which has recently at
tracted so much attention. The large
farm, devoted to a single crop, has al
ready proved not as profitable as
number of small ones, collectively oc
cupying like area, devoted to di
versified farming. In the few cases
where large capital, coupled with su
perior technical skill and business
ability, has made diversified farming
on a bonanza" scale more profitable
than on a small scale, it may well be
believed that new and improved meth
DDS on the big farm have been brought
into comparison with old methods on
the small one. Cooperation between
the owners of twenty eighty-acre
farms, In competition with the owner
of a 1600-acre farm, might cause the
telling of different story, giving sup
port to the small-farm idea on ec0nom-
ic as we'll as on social and political

come that could accrue from the
horses. Cut, on the farm largely ope-
rated by brood mares and colts, an adj

would not only be at lower rate, but
there would be the additional oppor-
tunity of profit by the growing and
sale of colts.
