THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1927 Unbranded Cattle So Called Beâ€" J. S. Maverick, the owner of Sun shine ranch, near San Antonio, Tex., is the only farmer in the country who in the dictionary. . Webster‘s, *‘ "maverick," says: . "From Samuel Maverick, a Texas cattle owner, who did not brand his cattle, his ranch being on an island; therefore, an unâ€" branded animal, especially a motherâ€" less _ calf, _ formerly _ customarily cla‘rm~d by the first one branding it." Th stry of the Maverick family is told in Fars and Fireside by J. S. Maverick. grandson of the original Samuel. The family has a brand now. Thy don‘t stamp it on the cow, howâ€" ever. L iit on the bottle. "Som.times I wonder what my mnd!nhnwonldny'ilhemld see me here producing certified milk on a little piece of land right in the heart of fhe old cattle country," writes the grandson. "In his day you could walk pretty well the whole 130 miles from San Antonio to the Mexiâ€" can border without getting off hut land. All we own now is 86 acres, but we have put Mexicans into milking suits and are producing certified milk at a profit of 5% cents a quart. That‘s better than producing . unbranded | steers, the former product of the| ranch that put the word Mayerick into the dictionary." ‘ MAN‘S LABOR WORTH TWELVE CENTS DAILY ‘Twelve cents per day is the exact value of a man‘s labor in terms of horsepower, according . to figures worked out by Farm and Fireside in its May issue. "A good husky man can develop about oneâ€"tenth of a horsepower," writes J. B. Davidson, farm engineerâ€" ing expert. "With horsepower at 15; gents an hour his value as a motor is about one and a half cents per hour. "Human iabor in the form of horseâ€" power is not worth much. Power and laber amount to from 40 to 80 per cents a day and feeds himself. A Caliâ€" The American farmer‘s use of power has given him a notable advantage over any other farmer in the world. ‘ "In China a rice laborer gets 15 cents a day and fedes himself. A Caliâ€" fornia farm laborer gets $5 to $6 a day and ‘found.‘ Yet the California mmmufiy‘nm increasing amounts of rice to the Orient and underselling the yellow â€"ome horse get a farm proUUCNMU" worth $45 per man.

The Oriental labor is hand labor; the American is machine labor. of 12 vears. man, gets a production of $595 per man. * "The possibilities of still larger reâ€" sults in American use of powerare up to harvesting.
