HORSES.
Horses weighing 1000 pounds when a,
rest should have % pounds of good hay
The digestive powers Of the horse for corn
fodder is much below that of the rumi.
nants, hence it is economy to feed more
or less concentrated food, in connection
with hay. think it is the general opinion
oil good horsemen that farmers feed their
horses too much corn fodder. One of the
hardest things | have to do with hired
help Is to keep them from over feeding
my horses with hay. Unless watched care.
fully they will fill the rack three times a
day. To feed IA horse all the hay he will
eat is not only waste of one.half of his
fodder, but he is not in as good condition
for business, or is it as well for the horse
The best method that have ever tried to
keep help from over feeding hay has been
to have my hay cut fine, moistenod and
the grain meal mixed with it, and have no
hay fed except in this way. If man is
required to cut all the hay fed TO horses
they will not be over fed. save in this
way one-half of my hay and tho horses
are in fine condition for work. The inton
sity of a food ration for horse must in.
crease rs the amount of work demanded
increases
"ExpermQnt shows that cattle, both
COWS and young cattle digest 2 per cent
more of meadow hay than sheep, while
sheep will digest from TO ) per cent
more of clover hay, The horse will digest
less of coarse fodder than cattle or sheep.
Concentrated food like oats and corn are
digested to the same extent by tho horse
as by the sheep" The result of these
experiments, and economy. should direct
the farmer to feed his clover hay to sheep.
meadow hay to his cattle and to feed more
concentrated food and less corn fodder to
his horses.
Investigation into the laws which forms
the basis Irrational feeding of farm stock
has been most actively and industriously
carried on for the past - years by scores
of scientific investigators in England and
Germany and to some extent lately in
this country. The results already achieved
will be of great practical importance to
the farmers of Vermont. The theory of
feeding is being placed on firm scientific
foundation; the object, of course, is to
enable us to feed better and more econom.
ically. The farmer who secures knowl- |
edge Of the laws of this branch of applied |
science has a lasting foundation to build
upon, and if he adapts his practice to
the varying conditions which surround
him and follows or appropriates INTEL i
gently the results of new investigations he
will be the successful farmer of the future,

A maintenance ration for 1000 lbs. Of
cattle, when at rest, is about q lbs. of
medium quality hay. Growing animals
or COWS giving milk require more. Young
cattle require about the same feeding ratio
that COWS do when In milk. Oxen PRO.
ducing labor, need wider ratio. A large
number of German experiments prove
that the best proportion OF muscle.formino
and heat, and fat-producing food is The
best milk producing food. Based on these
experiments they fix the ratio for a milcb
cowot protein to carbohydrates as to "a.
You will see from the chart that clover
and good meadow hay comes near to the
German standard for milk. Corn meal
you will see has too wide nutritive
ratio, that is, corn has too much starch
too little protein (muscle forming) food
while bran has too large a proportion of
protein and too small proportion of carbo
hydrates Q.464). These two foods NAV
be mixed together in the proportion Of
one OF corn meal to two of bran, and tho
nutritiveratio will be about eight if fed
in connection with clover or good meadow
hay. If fed with clear clover lessen the
amount of bran; if with poor hay or straw
lessen tho amount Of corn and substitute
some of the oil meals rich in protein
There seems to be wide difference Of
opinion among good butter makers as To
the value of bran or corn for the produc.
ton Of butter At meetings Of the board
last winter when the question: What ia
the best food to produce butterp was under
discussion, most dairymen would name
corn, and when asked about bran, womb
almost invariably say that bran did moi
produce as much butter as corn fed sepa-
rately or in connection with corn. Prof |
