WORK HORSES AND SAVE MEN
Expert Of Missouri College Of Agri.
culture Outlines Plan to Solve
Labor Problem.

Labor Is the limiting factor In crop
production this year. Horses are rela-
lively plentiful in comparison. O. r.
Johnson Of the department Of farm
management Of the Missouri College Of
Agriculture suggests that farmers lay
aside one-man and two-horse tools and
8 those that require more horses so
that more work per man can be done.
One man with three horses to q 16-
inch breaking pillow will turn over three
acres or less In a day. The same man
with a gang pillow consisting Of two
Pinch bottoms Will average Az acres
q day and will use one more horse.
This means that by increasing the
horse stock one-third, one man can
increase his efficiency in breaking
ground nearly IS per cent.
Investigations have actually shown
that q mar on q riding implement will
do more work In a day than the same
man and the same team with imple-
ments that require him to walk. The
use Of bigger tools and thorough prep
aration Of seed beds Will also cut down
the time required for cultivation Of
the corn crop. Cultivation is the op-
GRAFTON which limits the amount Of
corn one man can grow. If a good
seeded is prepared, some time can be
saved in cultivnting the crop, and con-
seQuently more acres can be grown.

WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE

A banker who was told that Charles
NJ. Schwab, the president of the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one Of the
most ferceful speakers ever heard at a
banquet table, said he believed it, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem steel, and had made
arrangements with Piny Fisk Of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
Owe to New York. and, of course, was
entertained at q dinner. There he
made M Of his most forccful utter
anccs. Mr.. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab !:
THAT will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write 1t out for me when you
return, SO I shall have an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon rs he got back to his home and
sem them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterwnrd,
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what you said?"
II did responded the steel master.
Il wrote the exact words"
"Well," answered Mr.. Fisk, much
disconnected, "you should have spoken
them into a phonograph.'

His Sensitive Soul.

George Challis. owner Of a theater
in Muncie, Ind, believes that the crav-

MIA, and relates n case in point,
according to the Indianapolis News.
He had been besieged for weeks by 4
man for passes to shows in the thea
ter. and two or three times, just to get
rid of him, had passed him In, which
only seemed to make him the more
insistent the next time, although Chal-
lis was under no obligation to him.
Finally the fellow struck Challis one
day when the latter was suffering from
the effects Of a poor house. the night
before, md. exasperated, he reached
down in his pocket and, handing the
im%portuning one a dollar. said, Go
over there to the box Office and buy
yourself a ticket like other people do"
Putting up, his dignity rufled and his
feelings apparently hurt, the other re-
piled, "What do you take me fora
cheap skater" And then haughtily
walked away-with Challis' dollar in
his pocket.

COLTS INJURED By DRIVERS
le0e Tells How Young Animal
Should Be Treated.

Colts are sometimes injured by In.
experienced drivers or men who try
to do too much when starting to work
them. They seem to think that be-
cause the colt is large he can do as
much as the mature horse.
"Give the colt light work." advises
DR.. C. W. McCampell, associate profess
sor Of animal husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. 1.-THE
colt should be prepared for the sea-
sons work If he is to do his best. Lib
eral grain feeding should begin q few
weeks before the work starts. A three
year-Old colt handled in this manner
after a few weeks preparatory work
will be able to do considerable work
but Of course he should be given a day
of rest occasionally.
Caution should be taken not to over
work the colt at first. There is dan
ger Of sweeney, broken wind, or other
serious trouble which probably would
put the horse out of business for an
entire season."
