TRYING FARM HELP PROBLEM
Hired Laborer Should Be Moderately
Intelligent and Well informed
Keep Children on Farm.

The requirements of the farm in
the character of the labor employed
are changing radically. The labor to
be performed by the farmer should be
governed by extensive information and
considerable scientific knowledge. A
successful farmer at the present time
may need considerable knowledge Of
chemistry, of bacteriology, of econom-
ic entomology, of the pathology and
physiology of plants and animals; of
plant and animal breeding, of fungi
cfdes and insecticides, of the conser-
walton of soil moisture; of botany.
pomology, viticulture, horticulture, and
certainly much concerning the prac-
,tical handling and marketing Of his
products. The hired laborer does not
need to know so much, and yet he
should be at least moderately intel
ligent and well informed. With re-
gard to the future, the forecast is that
farm labor will not be recruited in
appreciate degree from the city. The
farmer would not need to get his
labor from the cities IL he could hold
the country population to the soil, and
the recognition of the Importance of
retaining the children on the farm and
of keeping country labor from migrat-
ing to cities is governing most Of the
work by nation and state in behalf OF
agriculture. In addition to efforts to
promote economic Improvement, many
agencies are at work upon the country
people to improve their home life, and
their social activities, which are al
ready beginning to count against the
unpleasantness of country life and
In favor of making it attractive.

VALUABLE HORSE HINTS
Repose Almost as Essential as
Good Feed and Water.
Colt is Not Safe for Women, Children
or inexperienced Men to Handle
Study Conformation and
Breeding Of Mares.

All horses, when turned out In pas
ture, are more prone-to take their rest
lying down than when confined in
stable stalls. says writer In Inland
Farmer. But even when practically
free from human restraint and obser-
walton, or any likelihood of danger,
they seldom take more than an hour
each night in the recumbent position.
and that period is generally INDUCED
in about midnight.
"A noted veterinarian says: There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in the matter of
lying down. To Woodworking horse
repose is almost as much of a neces-
sity as good food and water, but tired
as he may be, he is an animal very
shy about lying down. l have known
instances where stablemen declared
that the horses in their charge had
never been known to take rest In that
manner, but always slept standing.
In purchasing a general purpose
horse, which will be used when rail-
road, electric cars and autos are to be
met, don't buy colt, because no
young horse is safe for women, chill
dren or inexperienced men to handle.
Don't buy until you have driven, or
have seen the horse driven, near
enough to these objects of terror to
be certain that he will pass them with
out trying to smash up things. Better

GIVE HARNESS BEST OF CARE
When Placed Just Behind Work Team,
Leather Becomes Brittle and Some
times Breaks Very Easily.

Many farmers hang their harness
In the Darn just behind the work team
so that it win be handy when wanted.
OF course it is convenient and can be
thrown onto the backs Of the horses
in few minutes. but there is con-
siderable loss in hanging the harness
at the back end of the stall.
There is constant passing OF Of
ammonia from the manure behind the
harness and this has a bad effect on
the leather of the harness. This Is
the reason why q harness that Ia al.
lowed to hang In stalls cracks and
dries out. becomes brittle and some
times breaks very easily. One would
have to keep the leather thoroughly
soaked with oil to prevent injury from
the action of the ammonia
Then there is danger of harness be-
ing thrown down into the manure OF
the stable by the constant passing of
the horses from the lot into the stalls.
When 1t is thrown down and tramped
into the manure it is filthy to handle
and is injured by the action of the
damp manure.
The best plan is to have room in
the barn in which to hang the har-
ness. 1t is even better to hang it in
the hallway than over the manure.
The room need not be large. Every.
thing In it may easily be kept in
proper order, and ali repair material
should also be located here. This
room should be free from mice and
rats. for these rodents are destructive
to leather.

Big DUST CLOUD IN ALASKA
Volcanic Ashes From katmaI Delayed
Progress OF steamer-ExpIosion
Heard Affair.

As we approach Kodiak, strange
dark clouds were seen obscuring the
horizon at several points and one SO
heavy and black that It resembled
smoke from great forest fire. Cap
tain Jensen startled us by explaining
that this was dust blown by the stir
breeze from the lofty hills all about
us. These hills seemed covered with
snow, but the whitish deposits proved
to be ashes, rained down several feet
deep upon all this section during the
eruption of Mount Katmai In June,
1919. Katmai is still smoking.
The sun looked like dull silver
dollar as it shone through the ashy
mist. The dust cloud was SO thick
that It held our steamer up for four
hours until the way was clear Pass
ing your hand over the rail of the
boat you found your fingers streaked
with the impalpable gray powder.
When we landed at Kodiak we found
piles of soft gray ashes and large
and small pieces of light. friable
stone. like pumice stone. which had
been thrown out by the volcano.
United States Marshal F. r. Bren.
herman Of Valdez, who was a fellow
passenger with me, says the explosion
of the volcano was heard at that
place, 400 miles away from Kodiak
and sounded like a cannonading. II
was followed by deposit Of fine
ashes In Valdez.-John A. Sleicher In

INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Large Poultry Plants Seldom Have
Male Fowl on PIace-Essential
to "Swat the Rooster"

(By J. A. HELMREICH, Colorado Agri.
cultural College.)
Many people think that the cocks
have to be with the hens in order to
get eggs. This is mistake and has
been demonstrated as such by expert
ments and practice, for the large poul.
try plants seldom have cock on the
place and their hens will actually lay
more eggs without the cocks around.
l do not advise you to kill or dis
pose Of valuable breeding stock, but
merely separate them from the hens.
When we stop to consider that there
Is $600,000,000 worth of poultry sold
by our farmers annually, and that this
amounts to as much as the money re-
ceived for wheat or hay; that per
cent of all the eggs sold are lost
through careless handling. and that a
large per cent of this loss is due 20
the production of fertile eggs during
the hot months Of the year, it is easy
to see how essential it is to swat the
rooster"

GIVE EWES ATTENTION
Too Much importance Cannot Be
Placed on Feeding.
Late Summer Is Trying Time on
Breeding AnImaIs-Necessary for
Best Results to Keep Flock
In Vigorous Condition.
By W. M. KELLY,


It has been my experience in ham
ding breeding ewes that one cannot
place too much Importance upon plan
ming their feeding and management,
SO that by the time the mating season
arrives the ewes Will be in vigorous,
fiesh-forming condition. 1t is a seri-
GUS mistake to have the breeding ewes
in poor, rundown and unthrifty con-
dition at mating time.
The late summer is a very trying
time on the breeding ewes; and un-
less a man maintains the flock in
strong, vigorous condition, deleterious
influences are bound to creep in and
cut down the annual profits. 1t is
very desirable at weaving time to
have an abundance of pasture and sup
Elemental forage crops SO that the
ewes may be able to recover their
normal condition gradually and be
ready to be mated as soon as the mat
ing period arrives.
The ewes that produce the best
lambs at weaving time are usually the
best breeders in the flock and should
be given the best food and care.
Right here many flock owners make
mistake by disposing Of the ewes
that show lack Of condition before
the mating season arrives.
Ewes that have sucked their lambs
well during the summer are sure to
be reduced in flesh at weaving time
and every effort should be made to
bring them to strong, vigorous con-
dition before the mating season ar.
rives
: The safest way to judge the value
of breeding eve is to examine the
quality of the lambs at weaving time
In nine cases out of ten we shall find
that the best lambs belong to the in
dividuals which are run down in flesh
and show lack Of condition whap
weaving time comes.
Many make a mistake by feeding
the ewes ration of fat-producine
foods to hurry along their condition

CURE SEED CORN WITH CARE
It Should Be Hung Up or Placed on
Racks In Such Way That Air
May Circulate Freely.

Extraordinary care will be needed
In curing seed corn this TALL Most of
the seed corn picked win contain
much moisture
The more moisture the more serious
will be the danger from freezing;
consequently, seed corn should be
stored in dry and sufficiently warm
place as soon as it is picked.
Moreover, it should be hung up or
placed on racks in such way that
the air may circulate freely about ev-
cry ear.
If these simple directions are fol-
lowed, the corn will dry out rapidly,
and the corn will give the largest pos
sible termination in the spring.

but this is not to be recommended
except In extreme cases.
During the late summer and early
autumn the flock owner should not de-
pend too much upon natural pasture,
At this time of year it is impossible
to produce good pasture of any kind
unless preparations have been made

crops.

and the addition of very little grain
food, the ewes can be kept in Wig
