Much labor is wasted In harvesting

say specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
On farms where considerable hay Is
grown. they say, methods must be
adopted by which the greater part Of
the heavy labor is done by horses. This
will necessltate the general use of GER
tain types Of labor-saving machinery,
some Of them not so common In the
East. which have been thoroughly test
ed and proved satisfactory In the west

small hay grower, however need not
make a very heavy investment In new

the working Of his crew, and using a
little more horse labor for the hard
work, he can add considerably to the

During the first spring work many
horses suffer from sore shoulders.
Great care should be taken that these

Good collars and good care Of them
are essential. See that the collars are
thoroughly scraped, and then rubbed
clean and busted with talcum powder
or powdered borax. Rub the horses
shoulders with the hands, and, for the
first few days of heavy work, bathe
them each evening with cold salt wa

Ing value Of garbage. however, es-
pecially carefully selected garbage, Is
such that 1t is seldom economical to
use any additional grain supplement.
However. when grain is low In price,
good results might be obtained by feed
Ing garbage alone during the summer
months, when ordinarily there Is a
large production, and finishing the hogs
on grain. Greater gains per day can be
made with a grain supplement, but at
greater cost than when garbage Is fed
alone.

Root crops most commonly grown In
home gardens are radishes, bSets, car
rots, parsnips, satisfy, and turnips. OF
these beets and carrots stand ut the
head Of the list from the standpoint
of food value from given area of
land, but II would be difficult to state
which of the root crops really is the
most important, say garden specialists
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Radlshes are among the first garden
crops to be planted in spring, and n
very small space is required to pro-
duce all that is needed by the average
family. The soil should be loose mel
low, and very rich, so the radishes will
grow quickly and be crisp and tender
Radlsh seeds should be planted In a
shallow furrow and covered about one
half inch deep. Two or three varieties
should be planted in order to have n
continuous supply. French Breakfast
and Scarlet Globe Turnip are among
those which mature In the shortest
period, while Long Scarlet Short-Top
and Long White Vienna or Lady
Finger are good to follow the extra
early varieties.
Plant Bects Early.
Garden beets can be planted almost
as soon as the soil can be worked In
the spring. Rich soil that Is well pre-
pared is essential. Commercial fer
tilizers and well-rotted manures are
best to supply plant food, but should be
very thoroughly mixed with the soil.
Egyptian and Detroit Dark Red are
among the leading varieties. Sow the

nings as greens. The round or tur-
nip type Of beets mature In 90 to 70
days, while the longer ones require
100 to 40 days to complete their
growth.
1t is an old saying. Carrots for
beauty and beets for strength" and
while this can not be taken literally
II has great amount Of truth In It.
From the standpoint of health, car
