Feeding Horses.

MORE horses are annually killed or in
jured by overlooking anu by injudi-
cious feeding than by starving or most
other causes. In horses we can detect
as many different temperaments and
dispositions as in man, though but few
horse-owners take this fact into con-
sideration in the management of their
horses, particularly in that part of it
relating to food and feeding. Some
horses are natural gluttons, and they
must be seen to carefully or they will,
at times. be apt to seriously injure
themselves by feeding too fast, while
much of the food they consume will
pass through them undigested, for
the simple reason that it is swallowed
before it has been properly masticated.
We like to see what is termed ''gOod
FEEDER" Zone who does not mince or
pick over his food) but then we are not
at at all partial to the ravenous one.
Such q horse as the latter named will
dive into his feed with mouth wide open,
and invariably take more at mouthful
than he can either hold in his mouth or
properly masticate. There are several
ways to fix such fellows, one way be-

oats, while moistening the oats or feed
ing cut food prevents him from pam
dering to his greedy propensity. A
horse with delicate appetite is usually
q tender. delicate animal, and not at all
desirable.
The trouble with most persons who
keep horses, no matter whether on farm
for farm work, or for driving purposes,
is they feed too much hay; and to this
cause can be attributed the general
sluggishness often manifested by the
horses until they have been working a
couple of hours, while the wind is also
much impaired. Night is the only time
when hay should be fed, especially to
animals used for quick work. Even the
slowplow team should have but little
hay at the morning and noon feeds, but
give them agenerous supply at the even
ing meal. By doing this, your horse
viii keep in better spirits and condition,
and free from any tendency to spot
BELLY which horsemen 50 much dislike
to see.- Woodford tKy.j Sss1s.
