FARM MANAGEMENT
Labor.

In most places you find the horse labor more expensive than man labor And especially when feed is high. One reason why horse labor is so expensive is be- cause there is large amount of time that the horse do not work. The progressive farmer keeps a list of his work for all kinds of weather, so that all odd jobs are done when teams can not work. The farmers do not realize the cost of horse labor, if they did they would work the horses more.
 There are many ways of saving horselabor The most evident way IS to keep the horses busy, and so reduce the cost per hour. If he blows in the fall, he raises better crpps. The regular policy on a farm, should be to keep the horses as well as the men at work.
 You can also save by keeping the horses in pastures and rough ing the horses through winter, and by keeping mares, and rais- ing colts to sell.

Interest of Reamer Ling in the diversion dam was also bought by the company for $8O. 25 amount of delinquency.

On well managed farm there are thirty acres of crop per work horse or mule, and occasionally fifty acres.
 Lately on large wheat farms, the engines have taken the place of horses, and they have also re- placed horse labor in threshing and other operation.
 Thus far they have only replaced the operations that require large amount of power.
 In astate where hay is the main crop, an engine is not very use ful because you have to keep your horses, because you cannot use an englne for moving, raking and hauling, because it is a light and rapid operation.
 An engine is used mostly on a farm when they do fall blowing and planting.
 There is little profit in keeping an engine if one has to continue to keep as many horses as he did formely.
 We must reduce labor to a com parable unit, as we did the ami nal and feed unit; so we base a labor unit on the amount of time to raise an acre of hay cut once. The only way to tell how long 1t takes to raise different crops is by keeping work record, be- cause there are so many things that must be done besides the actual operations
 The unit should represent the average comparative time re- quired foB a given crop or animal Some farmers will do the work quicker and some will waste tune and take longer. Anyone doing rapid work and extensive methods can GO a units work in five hours.
 A farmer should have a regular field and not have it divided into a lot of small places and should . have plenty of horses.
 Work units are what is accom- Diished and not how hard a man works.

Called Home.

Thelma, the nine year old
 daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Thomas, died at their home at 5:O5 this morning of diabetis from which she had been suffer- ing for the past two months.
 Thelma was one of Gods sweet angels sent on earth for short time to cheer and bless the home of her parents, but one who was to pure and sweet to remain in this wicked world. She has gone to a better world to help prepare a home for her loved ones who are left here to mourn and battle along through this world of sorrow. She chung to life with a tenacity that was surprising and seemed conscious to the last often opening her eyes with a smile for her father and mother.
 Through all her illness she did not complain but bore up patient ly.
 Loving hands and skill was exert ed in every way possible but prov ed to be of no avail and her spirit took it's flight to the mansion on high there to await the morning of the resurrection when it can again claim it's earthly tabernacle.
 The sympathy of the entire goes out to the grief stricken family.
 The funeral will take place to- morning in the academy at 9:30 o'clock. The remalns will be inferred in the westside cemetery.

 GENERAL SCIENCE
 Girls athletics have proven to be very harmful in many cases. One of the chief objections to girls athletics is that they often cause nervousness and. many other afflictions.
 Girls are not strong enough physically, to play basketball and such hard games. But in some cases when they have had physi- cal training and have built and developed their bodies before they begin to play in the hard games, there will be no harm done.
 All girls need physical training to develope their body. But this should be done only when they are in fit condition.
 School girls should participate in some of the out door sports such as tennis, volley ball, horse back riding and etc.
 Boys and Girls should both be very careful about the variety and extent of physical training during the years of adolescence.
