the labor, should fit any ordinary barn
with stalls for five COWS and the neces-

Plenty of ventilation is necessary, be-
cause the COW is somewhat like the
human being, she thrives best where
there is plenty of fresh air available.
Provision should be made to take care

AVERAGE LABOR FOR HORSES
Horse on Grain Farm Works Three
Hours a Day-Different on Diver
stied Crop Farm.

On the grain farm the heaviest work
for the horses comes in April. May,
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 care of the work dur
ing these busy months. When aver
aged up. the horse on the grain farm
only works three hours "a day. These
figures were secured in an investiEa-
ton by the Minnesota experiment sta
ton. under the direction of Thomas
Cooper now director of the North Da-
kota experiment station.
In this same investigation II was
found that when the crops are DIVERSE
fled. the horse labor is better dis
tributed. There is less work fer the
horses in the seasons that are the buSi-
est on the all-grain farm, and there is
work for the horses when there is
no work for the horses on the all-grain
farm.

Dairy farmers who wish to use milk

Is Essential to Health.

While pedigree does not make the

1t should not be one good breed of
