Winterine Idle Horses.

At this time of the year practically
all the heavy work on most farms has
been finished, and during the winter
horses are more or less idle. Since
idle' horses give no return in labor
performed, the feeding should be as
economical as possible, and proper care
SHOULD be taken Of the animals in or
der that they may be in the best pos
sible condition for work in the early
spring.
Horses should not be confined to the
barn during the winter on liberal
supply Of grain. 1t is far better to
trough" them through the cold months.
They should be given the run of the
yard or lot during the day. This should
be provided with protected shed, one
that is thoroughly dry and well pro-
vided with bedding. While nature
does her part and protects the horse
with heavy coat OF hair during the
cold months, the shed is necessary in
order to afford the requisite shelter
and protection against rains, snow,
and cold winds. Winter winds come
mostly from the north and northwest.
and the shed should be so situated
and constructed as to give the proper
protection from this quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses high
priced feed should be avoided in order
to keep them in proper condition ut
the lowest cost. 1t has been found
that idle horses do very well on a win
ter feed consisting Of oil the hay, oat
straw, cornstalks, or sOrghums they
will consume, so that little grain is
necessary. Idleness also permits of a
more thorough mastication of the feed
thus insu-iDg proper digestion.

Illustrated in some notes from these
county reporters. One man gives an
average of 10 miles as the longest dis
lance for any considerable number Of
farmers, but explains that the haul is
to the Cumberland river, which, in his
county, is navlgable only five months
Of the year; FOR the other seven
months the haul is 40 miles to rail-
road. In Mathews county, Va, few
trucks are. used; but, since the county
is indented by several navigable wa
terways, motor boats and sail boats
are used by the farmers to cCnsid-
cradle extent. One reporter in west
err, Oregon says that neither roads nor
automobiles are to be found within
20 miles of his home; produce is car
ried on pack mules, over difficult trails,
to landing on Rogue river. The

Farming a Business.

A farm Is business, and crop yields
are only one part of that business.
Studies In farm management show
that farm to make money must usu.
ally have large business, must have
good crops and live stock, and must
have these enterprises SO selected and
organized on the farm that the labor
will be kept busy throughout large
part of the year. While 1t is impor
tant that farmer avoid poor yields,
he should not judge the success of his

AUTO TRUCK IS
WINNING FAVOR
Machines Are Rapidly Taking
Place of Animal Power in
Hauling Products.
IMPROVED ROADS Big HELP
Development Of Regular Freight Serv.
ice Is Considered NotabIe-One
Farmer Uses Ten TraiIers
Drawn by Tractor.

Motors are rapidly taking the place
from the farm in many counties in
the United States where the roads per-
NIT. A significant phase Of this new
development is the growth of regular
freight service. by which farmers can
hire the taking of their produce by
motortruck directly from the farm to
a distant market, and thus avoid both
the wagon haul and the shipment by
railroad or boat.
OF lab county reports received by
the bureau of crop estimates of the.
United States department of agricul-
ture in its recent investigation Of the
hauling of products from farm to ship
ping point by animal power and by
motor, S9S reported the use of motors,
mostly motortrucks. In large frac-
ton Of these counties, motortruck
service Is just coming into use in haul
ing products from the farm. There
were many more reports Of use for
light traffic. such as poultry, eggs and
vegetables, than for hauling grain. A
few reports, scattered from Delaware
to the Pacific coast, mentioned the
great Importance of the light motor
truck service in delivering perishable
fruits to shipping points.
In many states, especially in the
northern and south central sections,
hogs were hauled preferably in motor
trucks on account of the relatively
small amount of shrinkage compared
with hauling in wagons. Some cOun-
ties reported hogs hauled exclusively
in motortrucks, although these We
hicles had not yet come into general
use for grain or other products.
Improved Roads Help.
One of the chief limitations to the
use Of the truck is the condition Of
the roads, and several reporters men
toned a beginning of motortruck use
as Following closely an Improvement
In roads. Another hindrance to using
motors is connected with the seasonal
distribution Of farm work. Some cor
respondents said that after their har-
vest was over there was no work for
their horses to do but haul, and that
motortrucks would not be an economy.
In other instances, the trucks were
reported to have done needed hauling
at times when laborers and horses
could not well be spared from the
farms. A market gardeners associa-
ton In Rhode Island Is said to be
operating few trucks with trailers
and to carry produce to the city mar
ket Mt cost averaging only 10 cents
per ton-mile.
Frequent mention Is made, even In
the East, Of trucks which do regular
freighting business, charging farmers
for the service. One Tennessee farm
er reported having paid a truck to
haul load of Is hogs to market a
distance of ten miles, and the trip
was made in the evening after supper.
Used a Regular Train.
Tractors with trail wagons are In
more or less frequent use In various
states, including North Dakota and
| California. One Illinois man reports
using ten wagons drawn by one trac-
tor and moving 1000 bushels of wheat
| at time.

MANY PUTTRUST
IN The UNKNOWN
Never Satisfied With Those
Things With Which They
Are Familiar.
INCLINED TO TAKE CHANCE
Curious Traits in Human Nature Have
Made Possible Growth and DeVel-
opment of the Great Mail
Order Houses.

Copyright 1917, Western Newspaper union)
A curious trait in human nature
makes itself apparent very frequently.
That is an inclination to trust in the
unknown rather than in that with
which one is familiar. A person is
very apt to take chance, even though
he may know that the odds are 100 TO
one against him, instead of being salts
fed with lesser rewards about which
there is no possibility of doubt.
1t is, possibly, the flaring up of the
ever-present gambling instinct but
there is something more in it than that.
There is in it the unexplained ten
dency on the part of most people to
reach for the chimerical and ignore
the tangible and substantial thing
which is near at hand. Man is sell
dom satisfied with those things that
are within his grasp but is reaching
always for the unattainable. Too Of
ten, he loses that which he might cas-
lily gain by blindly pursuing that which
is always just out of his reach.

Using Your Eyes.

When you buy from the local mer-
chant you see the thing that you are
buying, you inspect 1t carefully, eX-
anime the workmanship and the quail
ity of the material of which it is made
and in many cases you have the priVi-
lege of testing it before paying for ii.
You have not only your own eyes and
knowledge of values to rely upon, but
you have the advantage Of the advice
Of the merchant who has an expert
knowledge of the merchandise which
he is selling and who, in 80 cases out
Of 100, can be relied upon to tell the
truth about 1t. Then you have the
guarantee that is backed not only by
the retail merchant, but in many cases
by the manufacturer. If the article
which you buy does not prove satisfac-
tory after it is given fair test, you
can take 1t back to the store where
YOU bought it, in most cases, and get
your money back. The retailer may
get his money back from the manu-
facturer but if he doesn't he stands
the loss. In any event, you are pro-
tected.
Why a person will place his conf
dence in a stranger rather than
friend or will trust in the unknown
rather than in that which is tangible,
is something that is hard to under
stand. Even the mail order house does
not pretend to know why it is so but
1t accepts conditions as it finds them
and makes the most of the oppor-
tunities that they offer.

Why "Con" Man Thrives.

Coupled, in a way, with his faith in
part Of so many people to place con
fidence in a stranger in preference to
one who is known and has been tried
and proven. 1t is this tendency which
makes possible the operations of the
ICON" man, the get-rich-quick artist,
the unscrupulOus promoter and the
salesman of worthless mining stocks.
The man who would not think of
trusting Bill Jones, his neXtdOOr
neighbOr and fellow church member,
will confidingly turn over his life's
savings to a stranger who unfOlds
tale of riches to be won. Bill Jones
might talk his head off in behalf of
legitimate proposition without getting
a dollar where the slick stranger with
the worthless proposition can get thou
sands.
1t is these two tendencies which, ap-
parently, are so widely prevalent
among all classes Of people that have
made possible the success of the great
mail order houses in the big cities.
A knowledge of psychology is as i'm
pOrtant to the mail order man as
knowledge of business practices. He
plays upon these tendencies of man
to take q chance, to trust in the un-
known rather than the known, to place
confidence in the stranger rather than
the friend

Hope to Draw Prize.

Those who buy merchandise from a
mail order house are moved partly,
whether they realize it or not, by that
trait in their nature which prompts
them TO trust in the unknown rather
than in that with which they are ia
miliar.. They are hoping, it may be un-
consciously, that they will draw prize.
They do not know what they will get,
for it is impossible for one to know
what he is going to get when he or
ders merchandise from a picture and
a highly cOlored description in a cata
logue. He is taking chance on the
unknown.
Buying merchandise from the local
merchant, on the other hand, contains
none of these elements of chance that
enter into the dealings with the mail
order house. When one buys q stove
from the hardware store in his home
town, he may get none of the thrills
that come from taking chance but
he will get a stove that will last longer
and keep him warmer than the one
that he might get from the mail order
house and to the average individual,
these things are likely to be more i'm
pOrtant than the thrills.
