station refused $500 for when six

The mule is one of the most vital

| ployed for farm work. If INTEL nIly
handled, can do all the work that Is
required and will produce in addition
a considerable number of colts. which
rapidly develop into marketable ami
mails, thereby adding to the farm in
come.
II is generally considered that three
brood mares must be kept to do the
same work that can be done by a pair
of mules or geldings of equal strength,
but the difference in feed cost is
slight, and the value of the colts pro
duced offsets such difference in feed
costs, with considerable balance to
spare. II Is perfectly clear that when
work done on farm by two geldings
or mules is equally as well done by
three mares at very slight expense
in feed cost, and when such extra
feed cost is offset with balance of
800 to $3.50 to spare, that it is an
economic waste not to use mares. The
man who uses mares and produces
colts adds to his own wealth and to
that of the community where he re-
sides.
We must get pure bred draft sires
if we are to build up our present I'M
dersized stock of mares into good
sized, well-built draft mares for farm
work and colt production. OF course,
there is a splendid opportunity at the
present time for many southern farm
ers to purchase such draft mares as
are suited to southern conditions, but
we cannot go north and west and buy
such grade draft mares as cbeaply as
we can grow them. Furthermore, we
cannot purchase a sufficient number
of draft mares to make much progress
within two or three generations.
The colt from a first-class draft
sire and one Of our small mares will
usually weigh from LOO to 1.4O0
pounds. Two or three successive
with pure bred draft sires will
build this understood stock up into a
good grade of draft mares weighing
from 1,2O0 to 1900 pounds of fairly
good type.
Draft horse sires must not only have |
weight, but they must possess quality. |

The draft horse that is suited for the !

Yawning may be rude-especially in
compary-but 1t is a good thing for
you to do.
For one thing, 1t ventilates the
lungs. When you take an ordinary
breath the lungs are not completely

lungs always. which psychologists call

The big key to agricultural reform
In the south is more horse power and
labor-saving implements on the farm.
The average farm worker tolls with
a small mule or horse, and his total
annual income is only about S14S. In
Iowa, the average farm worker uses
nearly four large horses and produces
$611.11 annually, exclusive of stock.

Together With Use OF Manure,

The work of the Minnesota station

shown that reasonable rotation with

the use of manure maintains a high
average of productivity, returning a
good profit without depicting soil fer

The best results were obtained when
