substantial food Is required To supply
the waste. This light green fodder is
good as an appetizer. but - the main
article of food will not answer. but eat u
extensively will weaken rather than
strengthen the hard worker. while the
condiments are to be used rs little as
possible.
When we see recommendations tc
farmers To eat only light vegetable
food. WI are reminded Of q story we
once read OF u farmer who kept his
hired man on short rat ons. and going
out one day TO the hay field saw him
moving lan2uidly and singing this 10
''Init"rrnilka ard whey; faint all day"
The farmer concluded he wouN
his ra'ions and gave him a sub
breakfast the next day. On
out 10 the field he saw him
swinging his scythe with great energy,
and this time singing 10 fast time.
Ham and eggs; take ca;e Of yur legs"
And this represents pretty fairly to
The worker the difference IN the two
clas .cs of diet.
The horseman who demands the
drives and the heaviest work
rom his teams feeds them ON curel hay
old oats. The groom never feeds
he racer or trottcr on new oats. no {
how fine they are, till they have
been threshed for weeks aud be ONE {
veil dried and hard. :
But the question may be fairly asked:
u ha, shall the farmer eat: W. will I!
nswer his for ourselves, practically, .
lot. perhaps. scientifically. or with any
hcory a. Ia the probable effect of this Z
n that On the system.
The farmer does his hardest work in q
he summer months. In the very heat U

hat very reason needs good substantial >.
