Care of Yoar Team is Summer.
Don't expect team to thrive and keep
well and do heavy work on grass. In fact
the less grass horses or cattle get while
working, the better il is tor them. Occas-
sionaliy give them little, merely to keep
the stomach and bowels from becoming
eonssipa,ed Imagine person doing a
mans work and eating nothing but greens
aud potatoes. That some persons could
do il is quite possible Tha, it Is the sest
diet tor hard work no one believes. For
hot weather work give your team the
most nourishment with the least bulk. Do
not let your team carry about load OF
hsy for few pounds of nouriShment.
Ground feed, or better still, cracked grain,
oats. rye, harley. with little corn iSgood
foodfor working animals during the spring
and summer work. Ii the miller insists
on grinding feed fine, let farmers insist
still stronger that II must be ground coarse.
Some people water I ir teams morning.,

day without drop OF water. and after The
work of the forenoon - done on the way
10 the stable, or before .sediag, allow il
to drink ali it will Tie better plan is in
the middle of the half DAYS work to give
each horse half pail OF water, and anoiL-
sr hall pail each Just before feeding, first
giving the team a half hours rest. Feed
light at noon. merely enough to refresh
the team. and water freely = few moments
before resuming work. Repeat the water
inc in the afternoon. Two ~ three hours
after the DAYS work is finished water and
give the largest feed of the day, and only
u little less than experience shows the
animal vii. eat lion the road, water Is

ing not to Jet it stand aller drinking if
