Leaks ON the Farmland Everywhere

Leaks ON the Farmland Everywhere
The following is taken from the
current issue of Farm and Fireside:
THE little leaks on the farm seem
innumerable.
There is the waste occasioned by
poor fences. Waste i'm both money
and time. Live stock will in an
hours time ruin enough of crop to
more than pay for new fence.
1--WE find high-priced farm ma
chinery unprotected and weather
beaten standing in various places
about the farm.
''If the housewife would set SIS
sewing-machine in the rain for an
hour, she would be branded asa good
for-nothing, careless housewife, and
rightly SO, but what about the hus-
band that leaves a $3.50 binder i'm the
rain, sun, snow and sleet for months
and the corn-plow where he finished
the last row of corn, and the wheat
drill half full OF wheat in the corner
Of the field until time to use them
again?
Corn IL thrown to the hogs on
muddy ground, bushels at time, and
half of it is wasted. Good, fresh
warm separator-milk il poured into
q leaky trough to the pigs, and the
greater part of it is permitted to soak
into the ground.
Live stock i not properly protect
ed in the winter, and a greater amount
of feed is necessary. Hay and other
roughage il fed i'm such manner that
the greater amount of it is trampled
under the animals feet.
THE average American farmer
makes money, communes with nature
continuously, lives in approved Ameri-
can style, enjoys life thoroughly, but
think of his bank account being
doubled, just simply by stopping the
leaks
