Farm horses only work, on an average,
about 100 full days’ time per year, but they
eat all the time whether they are idle or
working When you farm with horses or
mules, they eat about one-fourth of all you
raise. It takes the crops from five acres to
feed each horse. You can’t turn a switch
and stop a horse eating, like you can a trac-
tor. You have to feed them the other 265
days all for nothing, just to get 100 days
work out of them. It’s entirely different
with a Tractor. When it isn’t working it
costs you nothing for fuel and when it is
working it costs you less to do the work
ehan to do it with animal power.
It also takes too many men to farm with
horses or mules. One man cannot handle
enough power with his own hands. This
means extra hired help, with wages increas-
ing and men hard to get when you need ’em.
