pare for it. As a matter of fact, we do not always have facilities for doing it. Many farmers cannot work in bad weather and this reduces the average number of hours per day.
 To economize and distribute labor we should make arrangements 10 have work when the weather is bad. There are many things that will need atten- ton on such days. or at least many things can be done on those days, to save work later on. As an example, the harness may be mended. imple- ments and machines repaired, barns cleaned, seed cleaned, corn husked and shelled.
 We will find if we keep records and accounts generally that our profits will be in proportion to the labor, not the number of hours or days worked perhaps, but the manner in which we work. For this reason, we should plan and systematize our work and strive to keep ahead of its demands Farm and Ranch.
