Size and Quality.
By A 7


It IL an economic waste not to use
mares In farm work. The man who
employs mules or marketable geld

return only their labor. When they
are Idle they are a bill Of expense
and return nothing. The team force
which must be kept to handle the
work efficiently in the busy season
cannot be kept busy at all times OF
the year. The farmer needs more
horses in blowing and seeding time.
and In harvest time than he needs
during the c~ultivating season or dur
ing the late fall and winter. While
a good manager will always so plan
his work as to keep the teams busy as
