Give the Horse a Steady Job

You don't have to pay him, the horse

of grain and hay, it costs at least a
hundred dollars year to keep a
horse. The expense of keeping four
horses is about the same as that of
keeping a good farm hand. On every
farm the hired man is expected to
work every day. On too many farms
the horse loafs about half the time

when thus assembled in favorable
places a large number may be killed

man killed 80 at one shot and another

The best way is to scatter grain over
long, narrow areas and shoot the
sparrows at these batting place. Where
sparrows infest poultry yards, the bait
