SAFEGUARD FOALS
AGAINST ACCIDENT

Colts should not follow mares at work
in fields during summer and fall. They
should be left in clean stalls, paddocks
or pastures where they cannot hurt
themselves, writes H. E. Mccartney in
the American AgricultUrist. Colts love
company, and where there are a num-
Der of them Oh the farm they should
be together While the mares are in the
fields. Good sense and judgment must
be used i'll allowing the youngster to
suckle at noon and evening. 1t is very
necessary to keep the colt free from
accident. Wire cuts, nail pricks and
bruises produce severe losses on many
farms where colts are grown. To just
the extent that man keeps his colts
free from accident he increases his
profits. Old sagging fences must be
Strengthened up. corner posts must be
set, and broken boards with nails in
them must be gathered up. Every pre-

In some cases the price is still,
mounting, and. While the result is
more or less burdensome to city peo-
pie, farmers who are properly equip

nifty is theirs, and if they are not
reaping liberal profits it is owing to
misfortune or faulty management.
Not only are prices uniformly high,
but there is every indication that they
will remain so. 1t is not the war
alton. The rapid and enormous
growth of cities all over the country
explains the continual and urgent call
eor farm commodities. Formerly pro
s!ucers were in the majority, but to-
day they are only about 40 per cent
of the population. Men see new op.

There is widespread dissatisfaction
with the hardships of life in a me-

the more onerous are the conditions
of life among the poor and middle
class people. Day laborers who have
no permanent employment may be
compelled to stick to city life, but
men in other walks who have been
prudent enough to save few thou

cases, see way to better themselves

about Wages in the country are the
best ever known, the working day has
been shortened, and the whole situa-

been improved. Therefore there is an

In the country Careful inquiry through
the central west reveals that there are
many openings for young laboring men
who wish employment as farm hands.
The average rate of pay is not under
$50 month. In many cases expert

this. Perhaps the most common rate
Of payment in Illinois is $50 month

that they are able to save about eight

commonly expressed that as these facts
