Guiding that Of men and women and
IF farm animals; fuel, and an esti-
nate for year on utensils and rent on
house.
The expense of living on Minnesota
farms is distributed among: Pur-
chased food "a per cent; farm pro-
duce, % per cent; labor, 20 per cent;
equipment and fuel, IL per cent, and
rent, Is per cent.
That the cost of living on Mime
sofa farms is higher than that in
many other sections of the United
States is indicated in comparison
with a recent bulletin published by
the United States department of ag-
riculture in which the cost of board
ing hired hand for a year is esti-
mated at $128. A remedy for the
high cost in Minnesota is suggested
by page of pictures in the new bull
letin by Mr.. Peck, in which more
livestock and poultry and family
garden are cited as the best weapons
to fight the rise in living costs.

FARM LIVING COSTS St10WN
TO BE S162 A YEAR

At a cost of 6.8 cents for each
meal, Minnesota farmers have beaten
away from the door the high cost of
living for the last ten years. The
weapon they have used has been the
direct use of products grown on the
farm, which resulted in selling di-
rectly from producer to consumer,
and in cutting off all profits of mid
dlemen. Under this arrangement,
the cost of living for each person in
the average Minnesota farm family
amounted to $162.12 a year from
1905 to 1912. These are the figures
collected by F. w. Peck, assistant
professor of farm management in
the Minnesota college of agriculture,
and published in his new bulletin,
1.-THE Cost of Living on Minnesota
Farms"
The cost of living on farms in the
study made on more than 100 farms
included accounts for food; labor in

the pigs and the brood sows in the
summer, furnishing in a fair season
all the feed they will eat. In Sep
TENDER the pigs are turned into a
fifteen acre field of corn, beside
which is four-acre rape field. The
sows that are to be kept over during
the winter are left to clean up the
waste after the pigs are marketed.
Mr.. Mcclure finds that letting the
pigs do their own work is just as
satisfactory and economical and
much more profitable. He even ar
ranges the winter quarters SO that
as little attention as possible may
be required by the sows. Straw
sheds make good shelters for them
and the corn cribs and feed boxes
are placed as near the sheds as pos
sible.
