THE trouble with most persons who
keep horses, no matter on farm for
farm work or for driving purposes, Is
they feed too much hay and to this
can be attributed the general slug
gishness often manifested by the
horses until they have been working
couple OF hours, while their wind is
also much impaired. Night is the only
time when hay should be fed, espe-
cially to animals used forquick work ;
even the slow plow team should have
but little hay at the morning and
noon feeds, but give them a generous
supply at the evening meal. By do
ing this your horses will keep In bet.
ter spirits and condition, and free
from any tendency to "pot belly
which horsemen so much dislike TO
see.

fore among the poorest kinds Of feed
for swine; but when cooked they are
among the very best. The nutritivc
value Of corn is also nearly doubled
by being thoroughly cooked. When
fed raw a considerable portion passes
through the stomach, especially if it
is dry and hard, without the least
chemical change, and quite per-
centagc is not digestcd. Where corn
is very cheap and fuel and labor dear,
II will pay best to feed raw, but
where the relation is otherwise and
corn is high in price and fuel and
labor cheap, it will always pay best
TO cook IL. Whether this important
article OF food should be fed raw or
cooked depends therefore upon cir.
cumsiances which must govern every
farmer, rather than upon any arbi.
trary rules.
Next to cooking, grinding is the
most important condition in the
preparation of grain oi any kind.
All ground food is better fitted for
digestion in the stomach and assimi.
lation, especially If ii is fed whole.
No animal when hungry will feed
slowly enough to properly masticate
grain, but it will rather hasten to fill
the stomach as rapidly as possible.
Such a mass oC unmasticated food
will not he fully digested and, Of
course, will be voided without the
animal receiving the full benefit from
1t. 1t serves to stop hunger, but
does not make its proper quota Of
fat. Half the quantity put in con.
dition to be fully digested, would
add more TO the growth of the body
than the whole quantity. As pigs
are usually fed, it may he set down
IA an assured fact that there is loss
of fully one-half OF the food unless
we give the credit 10 the manure,
which is an expensive way of adding
value 10 it. However cheap corn may
be, this is not a profitable way of
feeding, for in such localities manure
has n proportionately small value, as
IL is not needed. The millcr's toll
one.tenth for grinding - must be
taken into account and the expense
of taking 10 and from the mill, in
considering the cost, so that the value
of ground feed Is relative one, and
must also be determined by the cir.
cumstances.
Soaking the grain TO condition of
softness so rs To make IL more rcadi.
ly digestible, will save the milIer's
toll and make IL more profitable in
some cases than TO have it ground.
When grain is thus prepared pigs
will do well on IL. In cool weather
It may be soaked for as hours and
should be fully this length OF time to

Economical Use Of Fodder.

'or. of Country Gentleman.
How can fodder bc used with the
least waste Many farmers, pressed
py the short hay and corn crop. are
studying over the same problem.
Some years ago ! studied IT, ont. and
found how / could save ouc.third Of
the hay and grain fed 10 It lot Of
working horses. My plan WAS TO cut
the hay and fodder and grind the
grain. 1t may interest some persons
to have the precise figures of the
consumption before and after the
practice of cutting the feed. 1t was
done in "A numbering establishment in
northern Michigan, where all supplies
were brought up 10y the lakes and the
whole winters consumption Was or.
dcrcd by rcquisition early in Noyem-
bcr, before navigation closed. The
usual quantity of hay and grain pre-
viously ordered each season. for some
years, for - horses and - oxen. WAS
80 tons OF hay and 5000 bushels of
oats and corn. This was for eight
months consumption. A. the work
was very hard and continued from
, o'clock in the morning until : at
nj : ht, the animals required very lib.
I cral feeding aud sometimes the sup
plies ran short. One year the loss of
vessel loaded with hay and grain
made the supply very ,hort and the
price OF hay went up TO $50 per ton.
| II was serious matter then TO econ
Umizc feed.
\ large foddcr-cuttcr aud buhr-
stone feed mill were purchased and
. brought on a sled l20 miles through
| the woods, and set up to be- run 10y
water power. The grain formerly
1 led whole was ground. the hay was
cu, and wetted, and th" ground meal
was mixed with IL. The animals. the
/ first day, refused 10 eat 'hc usual
/ quantity given, and it was gradually
reduced until onc-third less was con.
sumcd. The saving amounted that
year to over 1000 bushels Of grain,
and nearly forty tons of hay one
/ bali the hay aud onc.,hird the gram
were saved; the animals were in bet
. ter condition aud the teams were
rarely broken up by sick horse or
OK, as happened beiUe. One boy of
/ Is was employed to do all the feed
/ ing and care of the stables. which he
I did with ease. Formerly the waste
Of hay was SO great los being pulled
I from the racks, that the animals were
almost bcddcd plcntifully With it.
This waste was saved, and sawdust
was used in place of it--a much
cheaper and better substitute.
I Since then | have cut every pound
OF seed and fodder have used in my
farm work. and could not feel com
/ fortahly otherwise, knowing the in
{ cvitable waste that is prevented by It.

Heating Milk for Winter Setting.

FraH the National Livestock Journal ChloaEa
Heating the milk of small dairies
IN winter is very necessary where the
temperature of the milk.room is much
below so, for thin bodies of milk
will raise very little cream with the
temperature at 500 or below. Heat.
ing the milk 10 1907 or l40o will
cause nearly all the cream to rise
while the temperature is falling 10
50'. Cream rises faster while the
temperature Of the milk is falling. If
heated milk is six to ten inches deep.
in n room at a temperature Of IS 10
50', IL will take several hours for the
temperature of the milk TO fall TO go.
and the cream will principally rise
during this time. But heating milk
in winter serves other important pur-
poses. Heating is a purifying pro-
cess. Ii drives of all bad odors or
taints 1t may have taken from the
condition of the fodder or odors of
the stable. All dairymen are not
aware of the danger OF tainting the
milk in winter, from the cows stand
ing in an impure atmosphere, or of
eating mouldy fodder, or drinking
water from n we'll that has received
the droppings from the barnyard.
Heating purities the milk from all
these taints, OF from a turnip or
cabbage flavor. 1t must be set, how
ever, after heating, in a pure atmos-
phere. IL is found, also, that the
cream from heated milk churns much
easier in winter. The cream should
be churned within % TO SO hours
after skimming, and should not stand
more than 80 to 36 hours before skim
ming. Milk is apt 10 become bitter
by long standing In winter.

with most prott - the problem which
the farmer has To solve during the
four tedious months ot feeding yet
before us; and to do this successful

Sno"lcdge, but the most careful at

TOO many instances OF this Kind n
large proportion of the feed is vast
ed and the younger and weaker stock
deprived OF their just share of the
provender, by the carelessncss and
inattention OF the feeder. In some
cases, even in this day of knowledge
and improvement, stables and sheds
are unprovided, and even racks in the
yard are wanting, so that there Is no
other way but TO scatter the fodder
or hay about the yard. This Is the
most possible plan for feeding, but
even in this an inattentive, needless
person may make it much worse than
one who is painstaking and careful.
If compelled, for want of better ar.
rangements to feed in this way, care
should be taken TO place the fodder
upon the highest and driest places in
the yard, thus lessening the risk Of
having 1t trampled into the mud and
manure by the cattle, at least until
they have had an opportunity to
