suil between the rows with the shovel pillow,
and careful cultivation in and near the row
itself, cannot be too strongly urged. The

What is the Cheapest Food for
Horses! ~ ..rr-.-5
Leaving out Of the question all other
considerations except the amount Of nu!ri.
tious matter which car be obtained for a
gwen sum, Indian Corn at the present
prices, is unqucstionably the cheapest food
that can be obtained for horses, cattle,
or any other stock.
But We can not leave out all other con.
siderations. Neither horses, cattle, sheep,
can thrive on corn alone. 1t is too conccn.
uated. Their stomachs are large, and arc
designed to extract nutriment from more
bulky and less nutritious food. A horse,
not at hard work, weighing, say 1000 lbs,
requires about 30 lbs Of god hay per day
lie requires this amount of nutriment-and
he also requires this amount Of bulk Pro-
badly Is lbs Of Indian meal contains as
mush nutrimcnt as so lbs. Of the best hay,
and yet the horse would not do as well on
it because, for one reason, it is too conccn-
trated. But if we should feed Is lbs. of
hay, 10 lbs. of straw, and lbs. of corn
meal, we should have about as much bulk,
and we think about as much nutrimcnt.--
IL the horse is required to work, more corn
should be given.
Hay and oats arc universally conceded
to be tho best food for horses. Oats are
not as nutritious as corn, weight for weight
At last such is our opinion. The corn
contains much more starch, oil and other
Ava'labie carbOnaccOuS matter-and 1t is
this, and not the amount Of nitrogen, which
determines the untritve value of food. AS
compared with oats, corn is relatively def
cient in heterogeneous matter. Probably
horses at hard work require more nitro
gcnous food than corn and hay. If so, a
little pea meal mixed with the corn meal
would supply it. Oats now are very high.
In this town bushel of oats, weighing 50
lbs, is worth As cents, or nearly "a cents
per 10. while corn is worth only one cent
per II. BY grinding three bu ;tel, of corn
with one bushel of peas we should have
food containing as much nutrnent of every
Kind as eight bushels Of oats, and at about
half the price. Clover hay is more nitro
genous than timothy or meadow hay and
when c,ired and free from dust, it is excel
aent for horses. Bran and shorts also con.
tain considerable heterogeneous matter, but
this season they are too high to be fed pro-
ftably to horses.
One Of the cheapest foods that can be
obtained for horses, is to cut and cure oats
while comparatively green, and feed them
out without threshing. Uf course, they
should be cut into chaff. With corn and
pea-meal, they afford good substitute far
hay and oats, and far cheaper.
Of course, those remarks arc only ap-
plicable to the present time, when hay and
oats are unusually high. We need hardly
add that horses viii do well on corn-meal
and straw alone
