VIII 1t cost less to run q machine
than to feed horses? Will the machine
stand as much work as the horse?
Is there any collateral gain in
value, as is the case when mares are
used and bred and raise colts?I once
had neighbor who had an old mare
for his own personal use that he had
gotten fifteen colts from, and
though they were only good farm
stock and not of very high quality.
they averaged in selling price at four
years, a hundred and fifty dollars
each. 1t is doubtful If machine
costing many times the value of the
mare could have been of as much
real worth 10 the owner as the old
mare was, and doubt very much
whether the auto could have rendered
services so long.
But the question of replacing horse
drawn vehicles and implements by
power implements involves more than
the mere utility of the method. So
long as-erops have to be grown to
feed mankind we shall be obliged to
do something to maintain the produc-
tiveness of the soil. Can we do that as
well when there Is no live stock on
the farm to produce manure?
Or can we possibly maintain the
soil when year after year crops are
taken off If we do not have live stock
to consume the surplus and make ma
nure? And, can we possibly devise
any implements that will be adapted
to use for all sorts of farm crops? We
may use level land on power tractor
with a gang of plows, and also do tho
narrowing the same way; but can we
cultivate crops of corn, tobacco and
all the other hand crops if we have
no power that can follow the ups and
downs of the fields, and follow the
curves Of the burrows that conform to
the lay of the land on rolling
ground?
| suspect that under the most favor
able conditions the tractor used on
the farm can only serve to pillow and
harrow land that lies suitably for the
purpose; but that the planting and
cultivating will have to be done with
horse power as heretofore. So 1t
seems on the face Of 1t that there are
many limitations upon power trsc
ors as farm implements.
In this view of the case 1t is safe to
conclude that under any circum-
stances there must be good many
horses raised both for farmer use and
the personal use of people who like
the horse as riding and driving aAi'
NAL.
OF course, where roads are fairly
level, and kept in good conditi n,
power vehicles surpass the horse IN
rapidity, and, perhaps. comfort OF To-
comotion; but we who have owned
and lived among horses always and
who like living things better than ma
chimes will always have personal
preference for the living animal. And
II there continues a demand for
horses, of course the raising will con
tinue to be a profitable branch VI
farming.

DISLODGING BEDBUGS
FROM HEN HOUSES
Remove All Roosts and Nests and
Spray With Hot White
wash.

Many poultry houses are infested
with bedbugs, and 1t is not an cary
matter to dislodge them.
Some people say that turning the
sheep into the poultry houses will in
duce the bugs to attack the sheep,
where they will be lost in the wool,
but this is a poor remedy.

added pint of turpentine to a paib

Another good remedy is to BURR the
interior Of the house with taroline
mixture, which can be bought at any
drug store. Another effective remedy
is half pint Of each of turpentine,
ammonia and kerosene. to which add
about four ounces of gum camphor
II more is needed double the quaa-
tity. Apply with a brush.
The nests should be turned out over
blazing fire, and the roosts should
also be held over the fire and all
should be thoroughly whitewashed
and painted before putting them back.

Of course there is no doubt that the
self-driven vehicles have cut into the
demand for horses, but the auto
has not yet displaced the horse entire

ton, especially If one is in hurry, a

Every student Of economic condl-
tons in the United States knows that
more farmers are needed to make ag'
riculture keep pace with other indus
tries. The project to divert to the
farms immigrants coming to Chicago,
by establishing on the lake front near
Twenty-second street an agricultural
and Industrial exposition building with
special features for the instruction Of
the newcomers In the possibilities OF
country life, Is one that should inter-
est the public greatly. Too many Of
our immigrants, even those bred in the
country and capable OF becoming i'm
mediately useful on farms, settle In
our large cities. The country districts
need them. the cities do not, says the
Chicago Record-Herad. In the cities
there are now few chances for them
compared with those that existed a
few years ago. The newcomers can
better themselves and the nation by
becoming producers instead Of consum-
ers Of farm products Immigrants who
are SCUM physically, mentally and NOR
ally, Will be valuable to the United
States for long time to come, II they
can be turned to supplying the real
needs Of the country. The problem OF
thus placing workers where they are
needed is rightly receiving much at
tention

OVERCOAT OF FAT

Some Breeders Have Trick OF
Sending 0ver-Fat Bears to
Market.
csy R. q. wEATHERsToNE3

Some breeders have trick of send
ing their weak boars to fairs with an
overcoat OF fat which hides many de-
fects. When you see an over-fat boar
It is time to become wary.
1t is a well-known fact that all the
fat breeding animals at the big fairs
are sold first and the rough ones are
left to the last.
1t takes a good judge to pick out
good, strong, healthy boar If he Is
over-fat.
Even II the animal is quite thin In
flesh and has quality this will be no
drawback where men Of experience
are making selections, because they
Judge the animal on his points and
not on his general sleek, round ap-
pearance.
Another point to be observed In
buying bdars is to observe closely the
shape of his head. boar with a
long, narrow head, ears set close In,
is, as a rule, poor sire.

The coming Of Thanksgiving
Day brings TO the mind of the
thinker the question of the prob
able cost of a good fat bird for
the days feast. This question,
while Of the greatest Importance
can be easily answered. for the
production of all kinds of fowls
has been decreasing during the
past ten years while the value of
same has been steadily increasing
during the same period.
In 1900, Texas had total Of
IA, SOL. 1872 head of fowls, valued
at 81, S06. 642. Turkeys in which
we are most interested at the
present time show a population
Of 648, 67l head valued at approx.
imately $500. 900, or an average
OF u cents eacn.
In 1910 our gobbler population
was 1863, 666 head valued at $40. :
526. or an average price ofssl.2l.
During the past decade the
number of turkeys on Texas
farms decreased 285, 005 head or
8 per cent, while the value in
