HoRs= LABOR on FARMS.
National Crop Imprsvsnsat Sssvles.1

On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April.
May and in August, September and
October. The rest of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have to be
kept during the year to take cure Of
the work during these busy months.
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours a
day. These figures were secured in an
Investigation by the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, under the direction of
Thomas Cooper. now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Station. In
this same investigation it was found
that when the crops are diversified,
the horse labor is better distributed.
There is less work for the horses in
the seasons that are the busiest on
the all-grain farm, and there is work
or the horses when there is no work
for the horses ON the all-grain farm

Minnesota Paint

Put that new coat on your house.
It may not be cold, but you
should take into consideration that
your building is standing out in all
kinds of weather and therefore is
getting a wear of the weather, which,
if YOUR house is not protected with
a good coat of paint, is going to rot
the lumber and destroy the finish on
your house.
Minnesota Paint is pure Lead and
Oil paint and goes farther than any
other paint on the market. Let us
figure with you on your paint job,
and you will be surprised how small
the cost will be.

SCREENED PORCH IS DELIGHT
Such an Adjunct TO Farmhouse May
Be Used IS an Outdoor Dining
Room and as Sitting Room.

The screened porch opening into the
kitchen and overlooking the flower
garden, which every woman loves and
should take time to enjoy, is one of
the delights that is coming for every
farm wife. This porch may be used
all summer for the outdoor dining
room and for sitting room, too, ii
there is not another porch, (also
screened) on the other side Of the
house.
This porch with it's view of the love-
~ garden and shrubbery is delight
from early spring when the first plum
and cherry blossoms come, to the time
Of late autumn flowers. Why should
the view which is seen so often from
early dawn till dewy eve be a chicken
coop or a pigpen7
Chicken coops, pigpens and barn
yards are indispensable but why not
arrange to have the often unsightly
spots screened by shrubs? The beau
tiful elder grows in ,profusion nearly
everywhere and there is no expensive
shrub bought in nursery which has
more grace and beauty. 1t grows
easily and spreads SO that in a few
years one may have a lovely back
ground for the garden in front. It
is doubtful if the psalmist could have
written so charmingly if he had not
been able ito lift his eyes to the
hills, whence cometh my help"
The expense of screening porch
is an item that must be considered
and yet where the man of the house
is at all handy with tools it may be
done with little expense outside OF
the cost of lumber, screens and paint.
The amount of comfort enjoyed by
the family on such a porch cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents.
In ordinary seasons it may be used
for an outdoor dining room, and Sleep
ing porch for baby from four to six
months of the year. What home con-
venience at the same cost would be
the comfort to the entire family?

Community Effort Not New.


Words come into fashion and 60 out
again, much like clothes. Just now
the word community" is very much
in vogue. We near about community
singing societies, community forums,
community celebrations and commu-
nifty projects of all sorts. Most of these
are highly commendable.
One reaction, though, of the frequent
use of this word is to spread the idea
that all this community enterprise is
something new. Everything we have
done is by way of community effort. 1t
is wholesome thing to pause, some
times, and remember that everything
we do is q community thing. In the
final analysis there is no such thing
as "self-made man." The Germans
have grown to understand this more
than we have; hence many of their
finest achievements in cooperation.

view of the -xpcsitions in

an alarming increase in the
rate of taxation in this and

excess of the increase in pop
ulatlon and wealth, and the
detrimental effect high taxes
have in discouraging invest

this has had its effect in poll

What a Dollar Bill Did.

We noticed in an eastern paper
recently an item about the mean
behring's of a 81 bill. A farmer
found it in the road. Under the
rule of "hnders keepers" he used
it to pay his subscription to the
paper. The editor paid it out for
groceries and the merchant, after
few days, paid it to the butcher
for a chicken The butcher then
took the bill to the farmer, who
found it, to finish paying for a
calf. AS the farmer now owed no
one, he took the bill to- the bank
where it was pronounced counter
felt. Thereafter it is said to have
been. thrown aside and someone
who came into possession of it put
il in the church contribution box
after which all trace of it became
lost.
The question is: The bill being
spurius, were all those debts can
celled by its use?

POsT-HOLIDAY SICKNESS

II Is fact that there /; more sick |
ness and more deaths during the first
two weeks Of January than during
any other period Of the year There
are many more cases Of pneumonia at
this time than at aoy other. Just as
the doctors busiest days are Mondays
and the days following holidays, so
his busiest season IS that following
the holl lay season. 1t would seem
that holidays and the holiday season
are decidedly conducive to illness
rather than To health.
1t is not likely that the cessation
from work, the good fellowship and
the pleasures Of the holiday season
are responsible for the increase 10 i'll
ness following the season. Further
more, while The weather Is usually
bad, it is 10 more so than at any
other time during the winter. God
weather is usually healthy weather."
and it il not likely that the weather
conditions contribute toward increas
ing the sickness at this time. 1t Is
the late hours, the rich foods, and
the hearty eating generally, as well
as the increased consumption OF
candy, tobacco, and often liquor,
that is responsible for the increased
post holiday illness. All Uf these
things upset the digestion and bring
about not only the various disorders
OF digestion, but the many minor and
serious diseases that depend upon
disordered digestion and nutrition
These things lower the disease. resist
ing powers so that the germs of
pneumonia, influenza and inflamma-
tory rheumatism can enter the body.

it is possible to have really good

That the farmers of Idaho are
commencing to realize that the dairy
industry is one of the great natural,
undeveloped, money making possiblli-
ties of the state Is evidenced by the
fact that there were manufactured
within her borders In 1915, 100000
pounds of butter and 100000 Of
cheese, while $50, 900 pounds of butter
fat were used IN the manufacture of
ice cream.
To dollars aud cents, this means
that,at IS cents per pound for butter,
the value Of butter and butterfat
would be ST., 137 500, and the cheese
at Is cents per pound brought an
additional $3.50, 900 to the producers
OF Idaho. In addition 10 the above
there were shipped out of the state
h Indreds of Thousands of pounds of
butterfat to Seattle, Spokane, Port

Transformation of farming
through the agency of gasoline is the
revolutionizing evolution which is
now expected. Gasoline may yet
change farming from an occupation
into profession, influence society as
the telephone and the trolly have
done and put the possibility Of
famine out of human consideration.
The New York Times contains a
discussion of these possibilities by
Edward A. Bradford He considers
time and tractors the pith and mar
row of the problem of growing
enough foodstuffs. The war would
seem to him to have had only secon-
Diary consequences for agriculture
and the threat of famine for the
world to be owing to other causes
than war.
During the first two years OF this
war the United States, according to
Mr.. Bradford, produced more food
than it consumed and exported rs
per cent more.
The means of meeting the demand
appears to Mr.. Bradford to consist in
our farmers replacing OK or horse
with the tractor, which is the pillow
and automobile in one. In France
and England farm help is so scarce
that the governments are calling for
70 1n 40 fnr-ly nf on
by machinery. 1t follows that, If
tractors will help solve the farming
problem in war, they can do so In
peace.
Speaking Of wastage in using anil
mails, Mr.. Bradford argues that at
takes more land to support mule or
horse, than man, five acres against
three. 1t requires 1875, 100000 acres
to support the horsepower Of farms.
Horsefeed costs 2,000.000,O00. A
horse averages only three hours
work day. Tremendous slack
might be taken up by releasing a
quarter of our cultivated land from
the support of such wasteful power.
Displacement of horse labor would
add half to our yield of wheat or
double our corn"
The tractor pillow symbolizes farm
ing emancipation. The gasoline en-
CINE is the soul of this pillow, and the
engine can operate almost every i'm
plement of the farmer.-Spokesman

Clover and Sheen.

Horace Adds, in the Gem State
Rural considers each are necessary
for the other and in explanation says
The assertion Is frequently made
that there is more real money In
sheep and seed clover in the william
cite valley than any other crop or
combination Of crops seems to be
pretty we'll proven by the experience
OF Nels Pearson of Carlton, Ore.
Last year Mr.. Pearson had so
acres In clover, which averaged five
and one-fourth bushels of seed per
acre. He received 1914 cents a
pound, making his income for clover
seed on the so acres nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Pearson pastured 10 head of
ewes on that clover until the middle
of June. They brought him about
$50 lambs that were saved. In addi-
ton to this band of sheep he pastur-
ed 200 more until the same time, be-
sides ~ horses, 20 cattle and about
so hogs.
Mr.. Pearson says there Is no other
way in which he could so satisfac-
torily have MANFRED the ground. He
says, "Clover is necessary for sheep
and sheep for clover"
In 1906 Mr.. Pearson had one field
Of clover Of 80 acres on which he pas
tured larger number of stock pei
acre than that mentioned above ant
harvested seven bushels of seed PEI
acre, but that year the price was onl,
ten and half cents per pound.
For late pasture for his sheep Mr.
Pearson sows clover IN the sprinl
without a nurse crop and sows abou
two pounds of rape per acre with tn
clover. The rape increases tn
amount of pasture but dies In tn
winter and the next season the feel
is right for a seed crop. One yea
Mr.. Pearson received s19.35 hun
bred for his clover but had yer
light crop. He finds that while bot
prices and yield f1uctuate there is a.
ways good money in seed clover an
