THE FARM WITHOUT ANIMALS From the Designer


 We are so accustomed to think of live stock when we mention farming, that the mind is slow to picture an immense agricultural undertaking without cows, sheep. horses, or hogs. Yet there is said to be such farm near Winnipeg, Canada. It contains 12.0o0 acres of land, operating forty tractors and a full complement of other power machines, and reports that there has not been 8 single head of live stock produced on the place for the past four years. Would you like such a farm? We believe most people find more than half their in- terest in husbandry depends upon contact with animal population. This writer once spent part of summer on a farm where there was only a single horse, and one milk cow-the blow land all being rented. It was a dreary place. Man is a sociabie creature. He likes to surround him. self by other ceatures that depend on him for feed and care-and much az he detests doing chores. in theory. he would probably find a choreless farm a most uninteresting spot. Of course. if a man finds 1t profitable to use tractors in place of horses. he will be Justified in/ doing it-but why be without cattle and swine sheep and poultry!

Market Rather spotty.

Yesterdays stock market was one OF
the most spotty OF the week. The net
gains on tho day about balanced the
net losses In number. although most OF
them were slightly larger than the
losses. There was no distinct trend to
any particular group nor to the gen
erai list Dullness was the outstanding
feature and for several seconds the
stock tickers were at an absolute stand
still many times. Commission house
trading was at minimum and the ma
jority Of the transactions was for pro-
fessional account. The bear element
continued to circulate all sorts OF ru-
mors calculated to unsettie feeling, but
less attention was paid to them than
was shown earlier In tho week.
