KEEP HORSES IN GOOD ORDER
Slim Economy to Permit Animals to
Fall Off In Flesh Oata and
Corn Are Best Grains.
It Is poor economy to let the horses
fall off In flesh by reducing the grain.
Horses cannot be kept In good order
on straw and a poor quality of hay.
They need a little Brain, even If they
are Idle. To have the horses strong
for spring plowing, harrowing and
other heavy and exhaustive work,
they must be kept thrifty and in good
flesh all through the winter. Oats
and corn and bran are the best grains.
If there Is no steady work, take off

A grass pasture adjoining the sta

stock may be turned in when the sod
Is dry and the weather suitable; they
will get the cxerciBe they need and
will keep warm by grazing. Most
Stockmen provide winter as well as
summer pasture for their stock.
The driving horses, if used on icy
roads, should have shoes sharpened.
It is dangerous to drive a smooth
borse when the rond is icy. Tho wear

too much out of a horse. If nothing
more serious happens.

this is done the horse's usefulness
may be extended for a number of

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Pests May Be Combatted by Pasture
Rotation, Combined With Drugs
Injurious to Insects.
The stomach worm Is the worst
pest affecting sheep. Iambs are more
usceptiblo than older sheep, prob
ably because the older sheep are ac
customed to the presence of the worm.
In the spring, soon after lambing, the
old sheep should each receive a dose
of one or two ounces of gasoline, fol
lowed by a small dose of epsom sa'.ts.
After a day or two they should be
placed in a worm-free pasture, if pos
sible. In July treat the whole herd, includ
ing the lambs, with jrasoline, and turn
them into new pn-'ture. and repeat the
process In November. Pasture rota
tion, combined with lriiS that are in
jurious to the worm, is a practical
method of successfully combating this
worm.

J c
i! j Editor of the Nebraska Farm Magazln
ho you know Hint your post office,
Is now an employment bureau? Tliitt'
Im one of the new thing Uncle Sum1
hn Ntitrteil durlnv (he present Ad
mlnlslriitlim. Secretary Wilson of ther
I tepnrtmeiit of Liiltnr hits tinkled the
tnsk of bringing Hie Jobless imui and
the niiitileHH Job together, and now
every pott office Is an agency of the
United States employment service.
The postmaster Is equipped with
blanks for listing applications for la
bor or for employment and Is Instruct
ed to help get the worker untt the job
In contact.
While this might appear to be prin
cipally In the Interest of the worker,
It Is really one of the numerous far
reaching things started for the bene
fit of the farmer by the Administra
tion of President Wilson. The increas
ing scarcity of farm labor hns become
a problem to the farmer, especially
In the wheat growing and fruit-growing
sections. This labor, which Is of a
seasonal charaeter, necessarily must
be performed largely by Itinerant
workers. Some agency which wilt
meet this demand and relieve the la
borer of the graft of employment
agencies Is necessary. Uncle Sam ban
started It.
A single Illustration will kIiow how
the system works; In the Willnmcttt
Valley of Oregon thousands of tem
porary workers are needed In hop
picking time. On August 2) the Ore
gon Journal of Portland printed a
news article about the new govern
ment employment agency, stnting
that six hundred families could ob
tain iiiimeilinle employment In the
hop yards by applying at the Portland,
division of the Federal employment
I service.
This is another item lidded to the
1 mass of neeiimiilaliiig evidence which
1 shows that the Wilson Administration
,has tried to give both labor and the
farmer a square deal. For the first
time in history, this Administration,
has placed the needs of rural districts
squarely before Congress as of equal
Importance with the Interests of finan
cial centers.
Ami why not? Financial center
would not amount to much without the
nlne-liillioii dollar crop of the Ameri
can farmer. I'.iil the Interests of ttn
farmer have not always been so H-oml-nently
nml favorably considered by
Congress as iliey have during the past
three years. The record of Itemocrat
le claims for farmer support Is a rec
ord of necomplishmcnt. It reads Ilka
this In tin' passage of laws and admin
istrative nets : ;
What Has Been Done for the Farmer.
