more for hay than for grain st this time,
because their ferage benefits are gener-
ally neglected. Some farmers who can
grow only two tons of timothy hay on
an acre raise ten tons of corn fodder
equal to timothy pound for pound. In
rich permeable soil corn is a grass
feeder and rapid grower, sending it's
roots far into the s0bsoiL. In this respect
it resembles clover, lucerne and COW
peas. The peculisrities of all the plants
cultivated should receive attention that
all may be turned to the best account.

Best Feed Tor Horses,

There is great Diversity of opinion
as to what kind of food and the amount
to be given as best adapted to the wants
OF working animals. J. Stanton Gould,
In investigating this subject, visited the
horse-rxilrosd stables of New York and
Brooklyn, and found that they had all
settled down, each company for itself, as
the result of careful and repeated ex-
periments, upon one uniform rule for
horse-railroad horses, and that was
twelve pounds of hay and ten pounds of
Ipdian meal per day. In that way q
ralircad horse was kept up to his highest
condition, and they were enabled to do
Their work more satisfactorily than
under any other system that had been
tried. Oats had repeatedly been used as
an article of food, and their cost was
carefully compared with that OF Indian
meal 1t was found at the time that
during hot weather the feeding of this
amount of meal would be injurious; but
the result of their experience was, that
Indian meal, on the whole, for railroad
or omnibus horse, was the true thing.
But they have one very curious practice
which ought TO be stated in connection
with this, as possibly bearing upon the
subject They invariably water all their
horses at O'Clock at night. They have
an idea that watering their horses st night
adds greatly to their power of digesting
food, aud prevents injurious conse-
quenees.

Many of the best farmers 10 the north

aud villages and feed clover TO their own
stock, because it is found by experience
to be more nutritious and to produce the

timothy be allowed to ripen seed, the

Taking nitrogen as representative Of
