MEAT ANIMAL
IN COMBINATIONS

The keeping OF cattle and Of swine
appear to be almost inseparable oper-
atoms. This fact is being brought
out in the returns of the Better
Sires-Better STOCK crusade OF the
agricultural colleges, the United
States department of agriculture. and
cooperation agencies. This general
practice has long been known, but
much more definite information ia
being gathered, and the purpose Is 10
extend 1t TO such an extent as to de-
-termiue the relationships among ali
meat animals.
If nearly every man who keeps cat
tie also keeps hogs, and If nearly
every man who keeps hogs also keeps
cattle, the inevitable conclusion Is
that the combination pays. especially
when purebred sires are used But it
remains to be determined what are
the most common and the best pay
ing proportions, The same thing APP
plies also to combinations of cattle
and sheep, or swine and sheep, or
cattle and sheep and swine. One
benefit of the work will be that 1t VIII
enable the man of small personal ex-
perience to avail himself OF the wide
experience of q great number OF men
working out the combinations of meat
animals that he will carry on his
farm.

tho rates OF wages OF farm labor
from 1918 TO 1919 were relatively
greater than these, In hiring by the
month, the gain was IA per cent

harvest gained 1879 per cent whether
with or without board, and day
wages for work other than in harvest
gained 1874 per cent when with

These figures indicate that the
fan m laborer is still regaining the
ST ound that he lost, relatively. early
in the rapid upward movement Of
prices of farm products after 1915.
This wage recovery was evident in
1913 as well as in 1919. but full rp
covcry has not Yet been accom-

For some reason or reasons the
connection between the wage rates
and the boarding of the iaborers by
employers underwent a change from
1913 to 1919 that was the reverse OF

to 1919. In 1919, compared with

pared with 1918, labor without boar
