How To FATTEN A POOR HORSE. Many
good horses deyour large quantities of
grain or hay. aud still continue thin and
poor; the food eaten is not properly rs.
simulated. If the usual feed has been I'M
ground grain and hay, nothing but q
change will effect any desirable altera-
ton in the appearance Of the animal. In
case oil meal cannot be obtained readily,
mingle bushel Of barley, one Of oats
and one OF Indian corn, and let il be
ground into fine meal This will be a
fair proportion for all his feed. Or the
meal or the barley, oats and corn, IN
equal quantities, may first be procured,
ana one fourth part of oil cake mingled
with it, when the meal is sprinkled on cut
feed.
Feed two or three quarts ofthe mixture
two or three times daily, mingled with a
peck of cut hay and straw. If the horse
will eat that greodily. let the quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat four
or six quarts at every feeding three times
day. So long as the animal will eat
this allowance, the quantity may be in.
creased little every day. But avoid
the practice of allowing horse to stand
at stack well filed with hay. In order
to fa,ten horse that has run down in
flesh, the groom should be very particu-
lar to feed the animal no more than he
will eat up clean and lick his manager for
more.-C american Stock Journal.

The Han Crop.

From different quarters OF our State We
learn that has is low and that that thcIe
arc still large quantities on hand. This
we did not expect, considering that the
crop OF last season throughout the State
WAS FROM one fourth 10 one third less
than than the average. There are two
very plain causes. however, which have
produced this result. AZ the commence
ment of the last lodcring season, farmers
were aware they had not the usual crop
of hay harvested. and in consequence
were economical and saving in feeding It
out. The winter also proved very mild
one, SO that the same amount OF fodder
lasted a third longer than it would have
done during weather OF greater severity.
Together these afford another proof OF
the uneringneSs OF the great plan of Ma
ture. and the cOmpensatious it is 10 give
for al seeming DEFICIENCIES.
Iii a good plan to have some old hay
lcll over. TIC >LhCh - >UiC ~ CONlS OaL
Of the winter in better condition than
when. through scarcity and high prices
they have been stinted aud go TO tho
pasture thin and run down. Then again
if it Is thought rot best to keep ii in NOW
bv itself, il can be used TO mix with new
hay rs it is brought to the barn. and will
be found OF special value should it be
necessary to haul in any not sufficiently
made in order TO save il from rain. Not
withStanding the fact that most farmers
have some old hay ON hand, the same
forethought in securing the hay and for
age crops the present season. and the
same economy in feeding them out should
both be praciiced for we may have Il
light crop of hay this season followed
by severe winter. Forewarned Is fore
forearmcd Put in fodder corn in waste
places. SOW oats FOR forage. and 10y every
possible means add to The recources ofthC
