Labor.
the best, as compared to possible eco
Monies through obtaining a maximum
efficiency from the horse-a large
amount OF labor annually. The re-
organization of the farm, for the crop
rotations and the keeping of live
stock, will enable one to secure a bet
ter distribution of labor throughout
the year, and a greater number of
hours of labor per horse. In such
organization corn, potatoes or other
cultivated crops are of the greatest
assistance in distributing labor and
increasing the capacity of the horse.
On the modern farm where business
organization and high type of skill
is required, the cry is for efficiency.
This is especially timely when the
costs of production are high, and the
farm manager must soon be prepared
to investigate in detail the costs of
production in order that economics
may be instituted. On most farms,
the possibilities of more economical
forms Of production are apparent. The
point of maximum returns for labcc
or capital expenditures are still far
beyond us. Upon many farms, the
first step toward more economical
production must be in cheapening the
power used in operating the farm i'm
plements. A tremendous loss is pos
sible In the one item Of horse labor
alone. The man handling his horses
at a high cost per hour of labor is
handicapped in every enterprise on
his farm, in comparison with the
man operating at a low cost. Su
perior productivity of the land, and
superior methods of cropping, may
overcome the handicap; but 1t is much
easier remedied at it's source in the
cost Of maintaining the horse.
The cost of horse labor is essen
TALLY business problem for the mar
operating his farm by business
methods. The importance Of the farm
horse, as an economical source of mo
tive power, will repay much iRvestiga'
ton as to how the power can be most
cheaply obtained.
On all farms the number of horses
required must be fitted to the nature
OF the business that has been devel-
oped or the form of management

Is 1t any wonder that most farmers
cows fall OFF SO heavily. both in flesh
