At first it containes only one

adulteration will gradually in

the already enormous quantities

Animals as Harvest Hands.

Live stock, properly managed, will
help the overworked farmer to harvest
some OF his crops profitably, thus saw
ing man labor during the busy season.
In return, the care of the young stock
furnishes profitable employment for
the farmer and his hired help, if he
has any, during the winter and early
spring, when work is slack. This not
only saves much man labor during the
busy season, but equalizes the labor
throughout the different seasons.
When sufficient farm labor is not
available to harvest all the crops, live
stock offer a profitable method of tax
ing care of the surplus hay and grain
by pasturing them. The farm animals
not only harvest them cheaply, but
while doing so make profitable gains
and help to maintain soil fertility. In
sread OF cutting the entire alfalfa, clo-
yer or other hay crop, pasturing some
of it saves much labor.
The cash returns from the hay har-
vested by the live stock are usually
fully equal to those received when the
hay is harvested by hand labor.
Waste or poor rye, wheat, oats and
barley may be hogged down to excel
lent advantage. Corn and mature soy
beans are harvested successfully by
hogs and sheep, and to some extent by
cattle. 1t is usually customary to fence
OF part of a cornfield by movable
fence, and after one strip is cleaned up
to iDclose another. Plenty of water
and little salt are necessary for the
greatest improvement of live stock.
Soy beans planted with the corn and
rape sown at the last cultivation add
to the feeding value of the corn.

not a satisfactory material as a gen.
crul rule for the stalls Of horse stables

Two Good Flooring Materials.
There are two materials that have
been used for this purpose with con-
siderable success. One is the cork
brick and the other is the treated wood

forms and Is treated with many diff
ferent substances Of which the most
common Is creosote.

cork which Is mixed with refined as
