should be evenly matched as to age,

to keep a reserve power constantly

from one class of service to another
they will go through the season with
out breakdowns. This depends, how
ever, to a large extent on how they
are fed and managed. Much depends
also on the ease and comfort which
they enjoy in the collar; sore necks
and galled shoulders, due to poorly-
fitted collars, prove ^erious obstacles
to good, continuous work. Corn-belt
farms should be equipped with heavy
draft teams; the highest type of di
