Keeping Horses in Winter.


The first thing of Importance is good
stable, which should be warm, light, dry
aud we'll ventila ed. Each of these con-
di ions must be observed to insure the
health and comfort Of the horse. The
cold winds must not be permitted to
blow upon him, nor damp, foul air fill
the stable. Let a plentiful supply of
pure air and light be admitted through
windows or blinds. The stable should be
] 4 feet long and 81 wide; managers for
hay are preferable to racks, as the horses
are less liable to waste their hay by get
ting it under their feet. Tho manger
should be about 81 feet high next to the
3 all, and 6 inches higher in front about
20 inches wide at the top, 1t at the bot
tom, aud to extend to within Is inches
Of the floor, which will leave room be-
meath for the bedding The top piece
on both sides of the manger should be 2
inches thick, of hard wood, to prevent
the horse from gnawing. The feed box
should be in the right hard end of the
manger, and made Of two inch hard wood
plank lG inches square is good size
The partitions between the stalls should
be about fcet long, and it is best to
have them so high in front that the
horses can not get their heads together.
When the horse is idle, two quar-
Of oats given morning and evening, with
plenty of good hay, will keep him in
good condition. If corn is fed on the
car two or three common sized ears will
answer the same purpose, or three quarts
Of corn and cob meal per day. If at
light or medium work, four quarts of
oats, six ears of corn, or three quarts of
corn and cob meal, should be given three
times per day, with all the hay he vii
cat. If at hard labor, six qrarts of
oats, ten ears Of corn, or four quarts of
corn and cob meal, will be required -
Whole corn is not economical food for
horses, as much of it will pass through
them undlges;cd; but as it is used by
many farmers, give directions for feed
ing it. In feeding new corn, care must
be taken not to give too much at first,
as it is very liable to give horses the
collie. Many, perhaps the majority of
farm horses, in our part of the country,
are kept upon much less grain than this,
but they do not look as we desire our
horses should fat, sleek and comforta-
Bile, and aIDays ready for service Car
rots are very good for horses, and ins cad
of feeding grain alone, an eqmal quan,-
ity of carrots may he substituted once a
day with great benefit. Roots have a
tendency to keep the bowels loose, and a
horse will thrive better and look much
better if clrrots can form portion of
his food. 4 n occasional '' bran mash
is very good for the same purpose. TO
make it, scald four to six quarts of
shorts, add u little salt, and feed after it
has cooled sufficiently. Horses should
be watcred regularly, at least threo times
per day, our rule is. water after eating
in the morning, before eating at noon,
and before eating at night.

After SHINING they are thoroughly freed
from blood with cold water. They are then
left over night in weak salt water, which is
poured off in the morning and new salt
water added, in which they stand until ready
for cooking. This water is made just salt
enough TO fit the flesh for eating. They are
then boiled until tender, when the meat is
