Suitable Footing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
When horse falls in harness he al
most Immediately struggles to regain
his feet. A strong, healthy horse will
not remain down voluntarily, but in
his efforts to rise he may become
frightened. If the driver will give
the right kind of first aid he can pre-
vent serious injury to the animal.
Held down by the harness the horse
seldom has sufficient freedom to rise
to his feet, though enough to struggle
and injure himself by pounding his
head on the ground. Accordingly the
driver should calm the horse first by
speaking in a reassuring tone and, by
placing his knees upon the anima1's
neck just back of the ears, endeavor
to prevent injury from struggling or
from bruising his head. An intelligent
horse quickly learns to place great
confidence in the voice Of good
driver.
The traces and breeching straps
should be unfastened and the vehicle
rolled back from the fallen animal. If
the horse is in double hitch, the traces
and yoke strap should be unfastened
and the pole, vehicle, and working
mate moved short distance away.
An injured horse will then regain his
feet readily IL he has suitable footing.
In case the ground is icy, scatter some
fine sand, sawdust, or straw under
and in front of him. If nothing Of this
kind is available, spread a blanket or
burlap bagging on the pavement to
give him better footing as he attempts
to stand.
In case the horse needs more help
and encouragement, and especially If
he lies broadside, roll him on to his
chest, with the hind legs under the
belly. Then work both front legs for
ward until the feet are firmly on the
ground and knees fiexed. If after re-
peated efforts and good footing he
continues to fall back upon the ground
there Is possibly some injury to the
hind parts, such as a fracture Of the
hip or leg, which should be examined
by a qualified veterina Ran.
In all efforts to assist a fallen
horse do not forget that in rising to
his feet he raises the head and fore

Answering Census Questions
Will Help Out Farm Profits
Full and Fair Replies When the Enumeration Calls Are Likely to Aid
the Farmer to Success-Every Question That Will Be
Asked Is an Essential Question-Not Too Early
to Get Facts Ready for Census Man.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Washington.-Whe the census emu
merator comes around to the farm
shortly after January 1 next year, he
will ask some questions that may
sound like prying into the purely per-
sonal affairs of the farmer. Now, the
farmer, like every other self-respect-
ing man, dislikes having his private
affairs peeped into and, unless he
thinks about this thing in advance,
may have disposition to be unrespon-
sive If not actually resistant.
In actual fact, every question that
the enumerator will ask is an essential
question and has a direct bearing on
the personal welfare and prosperity
of the individual farmer as well as
upon the advancement Of the agricul-
ture of the nation as whole.
When the bureau of the census de-
cided to take the farm census in JAN
uary instead Of in April, it did so
upon the advice of the United States
department Of agriculture. The farm
er is less likely to be very busy in
January than at the spring planting
and breeding season, and his products
ard live stock are in better shape for
statistical treatment Also, every new
question-and there are a number of
them-inserted in the agricultural
schedule was placed there after con-
sultation with the department of
agriculture and for the purpose of
clearing up some specific situation in
which the department of agriculture
is trying to aid the farmer.
Here are some questions that will
be asked: do you own all Of this
farm2" do you rent from others
part but not all of this yfar1h 2" do
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-10-30

you rent from others all of this
farm?" "If you rent all of this farm,
what do you pay as rent?" IF you
own all or part of this farm, was
there any mortgage debt or other en-
cumbrarce on the land so owned on
January 1, 1920?" "What was the to-
tai amount Of debt or incumbrance on
land on this farm owned by you, JAM
uary 1, 1920?'
Pertinent-Not Impairment.
"What the Sam HILL" you may in
quire, has the government got to do
landY' Well, two of the things to
which the department of agriculture
has been giving deepest thought dur
ing the past several years are farm
tenancy and rural credits. The past
three censuses have shown an in
crease in the number of tenants.
Alarmists have fe1t-and said-that
the country is going to the bow-wOws
by the landlord route. The department
of agriculture, however, looked into
the matter as well as it was able, and
refused to be alarmed. Where it was
able to make surveys it discovered
that while the number of tenants %
years old was greater in 1910 or 1890,
the number Of tenants As years old
was considerably smaller in 1910 than
in 1900 or 1890.
The inference is chat tenancy is a
step toward ownership, that the
young fellow who becomes tenant
farmer when he marries, say. is likely
10 be farm owner before his first

child is grown-the farm paid for and
the money that used to go to pay off
the mortgage available for sending
the children to college.
Now to the department Of agricul-
ture that looks like thoroughly nor
NAL, healthy and beneficial process. To
just the extent that tenancy leads to
farm ownership, 1t is good thing for
the country and for the individual.
Full Answers Essential.
But it has not been possible to get
a complete, nationwide survey of the
situation. The forthcoming census
offers the opportunity for doing that.
If every farmer will answer the
enumerator's questions fully and fair
ly the department Of agriculture will
have the data from which to analyze
the situation accurately and to deter
mine what things can be done to best
advantage to help the tenant in his
aspiration to become a farm owner.
One of the directions that aid may
take is encouragement Of rural cred
it's finding all OF the ways possible
of helping the young farmer to get
the money that he needs to borrow. 1t
is necessary, therefore, to know what
proportion of farmers who advance
from tenants to owners have to bor-
row money to make the change, and
how much, In proportion to total
value of the farms bought, they have
to borrow.
The road toward ownership does
not necessarily start with tenancy. A
great many farm owners were first
farm hands, then tenants, then owners
with a mortgage, then owners debt
free. The census will show, if the
questions are answered fairly, how
many years, if any, every farmer
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-10-30

ing to do in aid of the farm popula-
ton of this country. In order to do
the work intelligently, the depart
ment needs as full information as
possible as to how the farm homes
Of the country are equipped for COM
fort and convenience.
Another Way to Help.
Every farmer will be asked how
many acres of drained land he has
and how many other acres of land
there are on his farm that could be
made suitable Tor cultivation if they
were tile-drained or ditch-drained.
When these questions are asked you,
remember that they are asked every
one of your neighbors. Possibly you
have tract Of land that would be
the most productive field on your
farm if you could get the surplus wa
ter out Of it, but you can not do it
because, to be effective, the drainage
ditch would have to go far beyond
the borders of your own farm, would
have to be a county enterprise, and
the county has not seen fit to do any
thing about it. If that be true, several
Of your neighbors have land that
should be drained. If all Of you tell
the census enumeration how many
acres you have that need drainage,
the department of agriculture will
have the facts to show what is needed
in your community. When the oppor-
tunity offers, it will be in position
to do what it may to secure for you
what you need.
Those things are fairly typical of
the questions that will be asked in
taking the agricultural census In
order to answer all of the questions
intelligently, the farmer will have to
think about the matter a little before
the enumeration calls on him. He ought
to give the enumeration the most accur-
ate information he can. What the indi-
vidual farmer tells the enumeratOr is
likely to benefit any number of other
farmers. 1t is not too early now to
get the facts straight in your mind.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-10-30

worked for wages; how many years
he was tenant; and how many years
he has been an owner. The depart
ment of agriculture will have the
basic information it needs to help
men to success in farm ownership.
Other Important Queries.
Here are some other questions that
will be asked: "Has this farm a tele-
phone?" rs water piped into the
operators house?' "Has the opera
tors house gas or electric light?"
Now that looks like an effort to
find out whether or not the farm fam
lily has the modern comforts-and it
is just that, but it means something
more than mere inquisitiveness. Sew
eral months ago, when the bureau
of farm management was in process
or reorganization the secretary of
agriculture called a conference of
heads of schools, social workers and
others from all over the country.
When the people were assembled in
Washington, he asked their opinion
as to the most useful thing that could
be done by the Office of farm manage
ment. For whole day those people
discussed the matter Just before
night, with score Of items on the
ballot, they took a vote. The work
of promoting the comfort and con.
venience of the farm home received
an overwhelming majority of the
votes.
That, then, is one of the things that
the department of agriculture Is try

Injuries to horses are common dur
ing the winter months in cities where
snow becomes packed and forms an
icy coating on the pavement. In most
cities above the frost belt there are
times when pavements are slippery.
Asphalt is especially troublesome
and when covered by very light sleet
or snow makes a very treacherouS
footing for horses. The milkman or
baker, who drove upon a clean pave
ment the night before, may find the
streets at a. m. so nearly impossible
from coat of smooth ice as to delay
his deliveries very greatly or even
prevent them entirely.
In country districts horses remain
sharp or rough shod for a considerable
time. But if they are driven much on
city streets paved with stone, cement,
or asphalt, from which the snow has
been removed, their shoes quickly be-
come smooth and it is difficult for the
horses to keep their feet.
When the front feet slip backward
a horse is likely to fall and injure his
knees, while side slipping generally
causes him to come down broadside.
Shoeing with rubber pads, or the use
Of emergency appliances may lessen
the chance Of slipping, but as there is
always the possibility of a horse fall
ing, even when we'll shod, careful driv-
ing and precautions against overload
ing are important additional means for
reducing these accidents and injuries
to minimum.
