SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Labor-SavIne Machines Are Great Aid

Medicine cheet Is Handy.

Dairy equipment is one of the great

ical manner The hired man feels
that 1t is worth while to cooperate.
A good medicine chest is neces-
sary feature of the dairy barn. The
farmer cannot be his own veterina-
rian, but he can keep a supply of sim

which can be cured by the use of sim

IMPROPER FEED FOR HORSES
Care Should BE Exercised In Using
Corn az II Contains Too Much
Fat-Formlna Material.

Many valuable horses are injured or
practically ruinsd by improper feed
Ing. The horse should have his feed
at regular intervals, and that feed
should contain the elements necessary
to develop and sustain the animal.
In the corn belt 1t is habit to feed
too much corn. Corn contains too
much fatforming material and not
enough muscle-building elements.
Colts fed excessively on corn become
very fat and are deficient in muscle
and bone. AS matured animals they
cannot endure hard service like api-
mails that have been fed largely on
oats, hay and barley, and the period
of their usefulness is much shortened.
Do not feed millet to horses. 1t is
hard on their kidneys. Corn, oats, rye
and barley are good grains for horses,
but when one grain is fed alone. oats
IL preferable. Corn fodder, alfalfa.
clover and timothy hay are all good
roughages, provided they are put up in
good condition.
A horse should be watered three
times day before feeding. II posi-

water all the time.

largely due to neglect or prejudice
against the use of certain methods of

The most serviceable remedy which

Apply 1t as spray mixed in water at
the rate of one ounce to three gallons
Of soapy water. The soap makes the
solution stick to the leaves. There is
absolutely no danger associated with
the use of hellebore. because II will
have lost Its poisonous property before
the cabbage is marketed Further
more, there is no chance for the ma
terial to get into the interior of the

from the inside and the outside leaves
are removed before use. This ma

Rack for Hauling Roushase.

roads on the farm are thereby made
smooth and can be kept in good con-
dition at slight cost For hauling in
soft fields and on plowed ground wide
tires can be used when 1t is not pos
sible to go into the field and haul
loads Of any size with wagons having
wheels with narrow tires.
Wagons fitted with wide-tired wheels
are ideal for use in hayfields when the
ground is soft, and the low-down wag-
on is the only economical wagon in
use for haying, hauling sheaf wheat,
manure, fodder and farm feeds in
general. The lift to the low-down
wagon is light and saves labor. the
equivalent of saving money. Owing to
the short lift and general convenience
of the vehicle, one man can load and
haul as much fodder in one day with
a low-down wagon as two men can
haul with a high wagon. The low
down wagon is the coming universal
wagon for general farm use.

CARE IN FEEDING NEW CORN
Severe Losses May Be Avoided by Ex.
erclslng Judgment In Changing
From One Field to Another.

Unless hogs have plenty of pasture
and forage crops the change OF feed
must be gradual to escape derange-
ment of digestion and disordered stom-
ach. It means a little more work to
feed supplemental feed and old corn
with the new. but the advantages are
so great that feeders should not neg
lect that which is safest, and promises
the best returns. A
Hogs relish new Urn. and we are
often tempted to feed too much at the
start. At least months time should
be taken to bring them from pasture
and forage crops to full feed Of
corn. II requires more bushels Of
new corn to make the same gain that
sound corn win make. Hence II is
advantageous, both from the stand.
point Of health and profit, to feed some
old corn while bringing the hogs to q
full feed OF new corn. Severe losses
may be avoided by the exercise of care
and judgment In feeding new corn.

At this season Of the year, cabbage
fields are visited by large numbers Of

quantities of eggs on the leaves of the
cabbage plants. These eggs hatch in

small greenish cabbage worms These
worms feed on the leaves of the cab

Some OF the advantages Of having

For farm use only the wide tire is
much better than the narrow tire. The
