RETURNS FROM WORK HORSES
Many Little Points Are Enumerated
That viii Lessen Cost Of Animal
Labor on the Farm.

(By A. H. BENTON. Assistant Agricul-
turist, University Farm. st. Paul.
One Of the most frequent sources OF
loss on the farm Is insufficient return
from work horses:
Have you satisfied yourself IN the
following points?
Do your horses earn enough to pay
for their feed and care, and enough
to meet the interest, depreciation and
other expenses, as harness costs and
shoeing? ,
It costs 800 annually to keep the
average horse, in Minnesota, but this
horse works only a little more than
three hours each working day. This
makes the horse labor cost approx
mately ten cents an hour.
Do you handle the horse labor on
your farm so that the annual cost OF
keeping your horse is less than the
average, or so that the number OF
hours worked is greater? Both meth
DDS will reduce the cost Of the horse
labor, but the latter offers by far tho
greatest opportunity. :
Can you revise your cropping sys-
tenn SO that fewer work horses will be
needed, or SO that the work will be
more equally distributed and thus
make it possible to employ them more
hours each year?
Can you raise colts and>thus reduce
the cost of keeping your horses?
Can you arrange to use your work
horses for outside work when not busy
on the farm?s
Can you reduce the cost Of, keeping
each horse by feeding less feed or
cheaper feed and still give a proper
ration?
Farm work done with fewer horses
means a saving Of 800 . year for
each horse not needed.

Caution. Is advised for today. AS
%trologers find that Mars, Mercury and
Uranus are all strongly adverse, while
Jupiter alone is friendly. :
Although Jupiter usually rules as a
planet that offers success and for
tune to those who use welltrained
minds, the evil power Of Mars and
Mercury makes necessary the most
conservative action in all affairs In
volving money, professional reputation
or future success ~ \ &f<3 ~
The sign is encouraging for the a G

tors of every rank. r..
Bankers are subject to a rule indi'
eating large opportunity and e1acting
initiative. They are warned to pre-
para for severe strain in a fortnight,
when financial complications will dis
turb industrial conditions in this coun-
try. r.
Owing to the sinister aspect OF
Mars. extreme suffering among the
poor is predicted. London seers give
warning against any form Of waste

skies. r. .
Australia and New Zealand are I'M

Of prosperity. r. %.
Canada has the prognostication OF

increase of patriotism are indicated.
october has been designated BY
London astrologers as a month that
will be most terrible for the emperor
Of Germany, owing to the position of
Saturn and Uranus In his horoscope.
Uranus, stationary, close to the Suns
place, causes the 18th to be designated
rs a date Of grave Importance.
Owing to the fact that the autumnal
ingress took place in the cusp OF the

a rather threatening augury. Men
may become involved in litigation In
which they lose money. They should
be ruled by the friends who will go

Children born on this day may be

cording to the reading of astrology
Saturn rules the day with q power for
evil that dominates all other influ-
ences.. 4
Under this government it is held
to be wise to delay all important prof.
ects. 1t is supposed to be particular
ly unfortunate to start anything new

ments and troubles of every sort, II
the seers are right In their %interpreta-
tions. s
Saturn is strong in planetary direc'
ton where mood or temperament IL
concerned. During its adverse aspect
encouragement and melancholy are
increased. It Is said.
AS the aspect interferes with con.
centration tits Ewise to put aside any
big plans until judgment is more to
be relied on. Natives ruled by the
star-persons born between December
% and January 19-should be partic'
ularly cautious.
4 Physical i~ndisposition is often in
creased when; Saturn is unfriendly. II
is wise to guard against exposure, az
colds are common under this conag'
uration.

into contracts with landlords, builders
and real estate agents.
