quired on the farm in the same pro-
portion. In fact. before we made. the |
change, eight horses we're not sulfi-
'cient to do the work adequately dur
ing the first part of the season. With
the system We now have. four horses

take in twenty acres more land than
I'VE were farming before, simply be-
cause We now have a system that dis
tributes the work well during the sea
son.
One other point that Is important.
especially on large farms. and one
lot which we have been able to take
advantage on our farm. Is that the
labor cost is greatly reduced If, when
"a man is sent to the field to work.
he is permitted to use as much power
as lis practicable for a man to use.
Thus when a man is following two
horses and Twelve or fourteentinch
pillow, he is doing work which on. most
farms viii return the owner Of the
farm, say, 81 a day. 1t may be more
or. less than this. but the amount is
I immaterial. But if this same man Is
following four horses and using two
bottom twelve-inch gang plow,. he is
earning twice as much for the owner
Of the farm as before. On the prai-
rie lands Of the west. and in many
parts of the timbered country, it is
entirely practicable to use four-horse
implements in most of the fled op
erations. This is more important in
the case of blowing than in any othel
operation, because this operation
takes so much time. It is less i'm
portant in planting because the Oper
alton is quickly done. In narrowing

ALFALFA FOR HORSES AND
MULES.

Ancient history informs Us that the
Romans fed alfalfa Gueerne) to their
horses. In the horse breeding dis
tricts Of France, alfalfa is a valued
forage crop. In England, progressive
farmers have grown and fed afelfa to
horses always.
Mr.. Joseph E. Wing Of Ohio says
that there is no one. thing so good 70 |
the work horse as alfalfa. He needs
less grain and has more life and spi |
rit than when fed upon any other hay
yet even working teams can, on ac-
count Of its richness, be fed too much.
In Western Kansas farm horses
have been wintered on daily ration
Of 10 pounds Of alfalfa hay and some
slower, and thin horses fattened on
alfalfa hay and little corn. It has
been found that horses do not need
Ia heavy ration of afaka hay. Fed
with grain. probably 10 or Is pounds
q 1t is equal to Manager full Of
other hay. Alfalfa has a nutritive
ratio Of 1 to T.. An ordinary 1000.
pound horse, II given all he will eat
of it, will eat from 30. to 40 pounds
in "A hours. The alfalfa contains
about II per cent Of easily digested
protein and the horse will take into
his system nearly 4 1-2 pounds Of pro
tein, whereas about 2 IL pounds of di
gestible protein is all that an ordi-
nary horse of 1000 pounds weight
when at work, can utilize.
If horse is allowed to eat such
quantities, half of it is wasted; mere.
over, 1t is likely to injure him by max.
ing him soft and easily sweated when
suddenly put to work.
, 1t has been rumored that feeding al
= falta to horses produces kidney trou
bic. The foundation for this rumor 4
the fact that when alfalfa is fed to a
i, horse the first time it does stimulate
its kidneys so. that there is a notice
, able. increase in the amount Of urint
voided, but the symptoms disappear il
a short time, If alfalfa is fed in moe

S more horses with heayes, but sine

Buyers failed to make any" great
dent in the cattle market last week,

ton in the shape of big run, 1920
cattle, and 5000 calves. Country buy

season In that trade. Kansas pasture
fell off in their offerings, the quaran-
tine districts had about the. usual
number, but the panhandle, New Mex
leo and. Colorado came to the front
with augmented supplies. Butcher
cattle, particularly cows and heifers
and veal calves, finished the week a
little higher, and medium to common
stock steers quit a shade lower. The
cattle supply. today is $4,000 head,
some fewer than last Monday, but
more than a year ago same day.
Kansas exerted herself with a home

ceipts are here from the range coun.

short fed steers selling at $3.50 ia
$1,000, not including pasture steers
that have had a little feed, which
bring $500 to $3.50. Eighty-five cars
of quarantine cattle are here today
selling about steady, the steers a

Hogs took big drop today, 10 t
25 cents, which. makes total losse
: about $1.O0 per cwt. in less than tw

BURN THE BUGS.
Market Correspondent

II the farmers on every section Of
land will cooperate in the burning
of bunch grass and big glue stem,
SS5 Of every 1000 chinch bugs winter
ing there can be killed. The bugs ar
leaving the corn fields now for their
winter homes along fnece rows and
in patches Of grass. Examination viii
show where burning is necessary and
cooperation with your neighbors will
make it an easy matter. November
is the time to burn the grass.
Repeated experiemnts made by bug
men at the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege in various sections Of the state
show that fall burning is the one GER
tain way to prevent the possibility of
bug invasion the following summer.
But to make fall burning successful,
cooperation OF farmers In a neighbor-
hood is necessary: If Jones burns his
grass and Smith, across the road,
doesn't, the bugs will emerge from
the. Smith grass next spring and
attack crops on both farms.
A sweeping fire, back fire or
side fire may be used in the burning.
Where the grass has made a heavy
growth or where it is so short that
fire will not move over it in any 9th
er way, the sweeping fire should be
used. The side and back fires are.
used in. burning over meadows that
have been kept moved or where
there is not heavy growth of grass.
In all cases the grass should be burn
ed as close to the ground as possible.
The closer 1t is burned the greater
number OF bugs are killed. If the
grass is burned to within one inch Of
the crown. IS to 100 per cent Of the
chinch bugs are killed, experiments
show.

FARM FINANCE.

What an outrage it is that the
farmer cannot finance his business
in a business way, as is done by the
city merchant or manufacturer. The
latter may take advantage of the mar
kets and buy when the price is the
most favorable. using. his credit at
the banks to discount his bills and
carry his business through a dull sea-
son. Such man, # of good. charac-
ter and credit. can go to his bank,
sign. his name to an unsecured note
and take ten. twenty, or one hundred
thousand dollars. often at 8 per cent
interest. and use the same in his bus
mess. The farmer, with land paid
for. grain harvested, and live stock
in plenty, will goto his bank for such
accommo datiOn in vain. There are
exceptions, but as a rule he will have
to pay a high rate Of interest and Sc
cure loan then only by using a
mortgage, sometimes a chattel mort
gage. which is always an instrument
of humiliation.
/
+ Ours is about the only civilized
country in the world where the farm
er's credit is not as good as a stock
gamblers: In Canada. the. govern
ment will. advance funds against the
farmers wheat as soon as it Is in tht

farm loans are the most favored. II
