Lyle Benson industry," says It. Luhbehusen, veterinarian, North Dakota expuri ment station, "a period during which almost every conceivable make and design of motor vehicle was put he fore the public and received a just and. thorough trial to determine whether or not the horse was to be replaced as the economical factor in Industry an^l agricultural production. As we emerge from this competitive era let us gather facts as they are to determine whether or not the horse should again take the place it once held as source of motive power as well as a factor in the breeding and livestock markets of the country. "In summing up these facts we find that during the past four or five years farmers and stockmen have cur tailed and in many cases wholly ceas ed horse production. This may be explained in part on the grounds of the motor craze which appealed to the average farmer as the avenue to a more satisfactory and economical source of power, and in part because of the corresponding depression in the horse market. Breeders of pure-bred horses who should have carried on promptly refused to breed their dames on the plea of a fallen market and the extreme uncertainty of future sales. The result has been that In the North west today we are facing a lack of pure-bred and high grade draft horses which within the next four or five years is going to amount to an acute shortage, for undeniably the agricul turalist is slowly returning to the horse for the solution of his farm power problems. "This change, gradual though it is. Is due in part to the fact that to date, no tractor put before the public can compete with horse power over a per iod of four years. Again, never before has It been necessary for the fanner to figure on a dollars and cents basis. We have arrived at the place where It has become necessary to part down excessive overhead expense. It Is not the writer's intention nor will space permit a comparison of the adapta bility or farm power cost of the trac tor and horse, may ir suffice at pres ent to say that the latter passed through an acid test during the per iod from which we are now emerging and was not found wanting. "Disregarding for a time the mat ter of farm power, let us turn our at tention to the market value of pure bred and high grade horses. I refer to these classes because they are the ones which merit consideration. De spile three successive crop failures, stringent financial conditions and a generally depressed market, the well bred, t.vpy, draft horse is a present selling in Kastern market and at com munity farm sales at prices which (five the gratifying indication that this type of animal is becoming more and more in demand. During the past win ter the fanners of eastern North Da kota have marketed several car loads of horses which brought an average GARDEN IS NECESSARY ADJUNCT TO THE FARM The farm garden in North Dakota will pay large dividends in dollars and cents for the time and money invested in it.-Fresh vegetables are necessary in the diet. Vegetables can not be supplied fresh to the farms in my way except by the home garden. Canned vegetables are a poor substi :ute. and many vegetables cannot be secured at all in the canned form. A garden is a necessary part of home life. It supplies an interest other wise lacking. Locate the garden as close to the house as a suitable place can be found.

For permanent protection a hedgcroA- around the garden is best. Make the garden no larger than can easily be caret! for.

The mite is an entirely different in sect from the louse, belonging to the bedbug family consequently they must be treated similarly—by treating the house rather than the fowl.

Not so very discouraging, is it nor an indication that the good servicable draft horse is a thing of the past. Why are agri cultural men depleting their limited supply of draft horses? Why have they discontinued breeding your draft mares and curtailed the necessary horse supply of the next four or five years? If a draft mare is worth $200 In an eastern market, isn't she worth that much and more to the farmer as a breeder and source of motive power? Do you suppose the present gratifyihg sale of good draft horses is because of the success of motor transportation and economic tractor performance? "With the coming breeding season, keep these pertinent facts in mind: fcounty day of the scrub is passing, and let us hope that at a not too distant future date we may see the end of that un worthy line third, make the resolution that while ushering in a renewed horse power era, you will also do your bit in fostering a better horse move ment. If you have no purebred draft mores breed your best grades. Turn your attention to the good, typy draft mare whose minimum weight should be at least 1,350 lbs. Such an animal mated to a worthy sire should produce an offspring worthy of the duties be fore it. It is far better to raise one purebred than three scrub horses for in this age the scrub horse should have no place in reproduction. "The horse breeders of North Da kota have at their service an organiza tion which from its earliest inception has conscientiously endeavored to play an important part in the production of purebred and worthy grade horses. Thanks to the co-operative spirit of stallion owners and livestock owners in general, much has been accom plished by the Stallion Registration Board, in fostering the use of sound, purebred sires throughout the state. Through its regulations only purebred or high grade sires of the first genera tion are eligible for use. As an addi tional safeguard every stallion in serv ice is inspected for soundness every three years until the age of ten. It is strictly against the regulations of the Board to stand grade stallions for service and it should be the duty of every person interested in better live stock to report to the board such of fenders. While the results of the labors of the board have been gratify- it should be no larger. If hand cul-, tivated, a space 50 feet square or! less may be sufficient. Be sure to get proper tools to work the garden. If hand cultivated, get a wheel hoe the first thing. For most vegetables, a small garden, wheel hoe cultivated, will likely prove best. In preparing the soil, it should be manured heavily, and is best plowed, but not harrowed, in the fall. Work down well as early as convenient In the spring. Order the seed from a seed house early.
