Farm and Poultry DEPARTMENT.
Feeding Farm Rerses
Cresss Farm and Rsneh.l


This is very trying season OF the
year for farmers horses. The work ia
driving, is all heavy, with no off days.
except Sundays. and ali OF them do nj t
enjoy that seasoe of rest, The wise
larmer knows that during Springs work
and blowing time, his teams will run
down rapidly unless they have extra
food and care, and the latter is quite
as important as the former. II costs
more to restore run down animals than
to keep them in good condition, while
a.team well fed and cared for will do
more and better work.
The wear of work now comes most
heavily on the muscles, and tie food
should not only be sufficient, but rich
in heterogeneous or muscle producing
ieements. Corn is very generally used
as the concentrated feed for horses in
the West. This is mistake, since corn
is largely fat and heat producing
food. Oats. peas and barley mixed
with some corn, should constitute the
grain feed for farm or carr iage horses,
especially In warm weather. Every one
familiar with the tough, spirited
"Freuch horses" OF Canada, knows
their grain feed is chiefly oats and peas
Hence they are strong and enduring,
and are generally preferred above all
others by city steel railway companies.
Mr.. Stuart says a good summer ration
for work horses Is sixteen pounds of
oats and corn in equal quantities,
ground together, with twelve pounds
of cut hay. Some English and Europe
an authorities make ration of ten to
twelve quarts of oats, SIX to eight
pounds OF hay, with straw and steamed
chaff. The chaff can be fed in cities or
on farms having steam appliances,
while, good clean straw, finely cut can
be led on any farm, though not to
work horses. The writer's feed for farm
horses would be plenty of dry oats,
unground, if the animals teeth are in
good condition and he did not bolt
his food, with a moderate feeding Of
good timotay or moistened cut clover
We have seen fam teams fed for years
wholly on early gathered and carefully
cured clover, fed dry, though they ran
in the pasture during the summer.

Wheat Bran and Rye Bran.

Wheat bran is Extensively used In
feeding poultry and with very good
results. Many people suppose that as
both wheat and rye bread are good,
and the latter often prescribed for peo-
pie with weak digestions-rye bran is
as good as wheat for fowls. This how
ever experience has shown to be an
unsafe conclusion. Rye and bran
may be fed If the poultry man knows
just how to use them, but rye bran is
dangerous thing to give freely, and its
use will sometimes prove most dias-
trous to feathered stock. Moistened
bran, especially when fed in winter,
causes fowls to scour and continuance
of such diet will bring them to pitt
able state of weakness, even if 1t does
not kill them. If scalded and mixed
with whole grain it seems to do very
well though even in this form it will
sometimes cause trouble. Rye and
wheat given in the form of whole grain
seem to have none of the objections OF
the same cereals in the form of bran
and can be fed with impunity from dan
ger.-Amertfan Poultry Yard.

business phase. Most breaders go into
poultry raising for two distinct causes
love of the beautiful fowls and al
that pertains to them, and the desire
to make little money. Of late years
many men have gone into the poultry
bulness on a large scale, and with a
definite purpose of making all the
money they honestly can by selling
fowls and eggs. There has been dis
position to sheer at such undertakings
and prophesy their failure. As if for.
sooth, no business that was not handed
down fiom our grandsires could be le'
climate and profitable. Many pale

ready an important one as any ont
who will take the pains to find GU

mate business as handling dry good

Feeding for Flesh or for Eggs.

When flesh is the desired object to
be attained, and the greatest number
of pounds the point on which the
profit hangs, feed the grams which
contain the elements that make fat.
Indian corn contains seven per cent
of fat producing elements, while oats
contain only six per cent. Now, with
the difference of only one per cent. IN
favor of Indian corn, any ten year old
child can see that it would be folly to
try to attain the best results in fat
tening poultry by feeding oats. But If
thrifty condition is most desirable,
feed largely with cats, because oats
contains two per cent. more of the al
buminolds. or muscle-producing ele-
ments, than corn. Wheat bran and
skim milk are each, chemically consid-
cred, quite sclose in resemblance to
the white of the egg, which fact sug-
gests their use in the list of food for
laying hens. Watch the condition Of
your laying hens very closely, and
keep them only in good working con-
dition, never extremely fat, and you
can produce eggs plentifully at all
times and seasons of the year. In
cold weather we may iced larger
proportion OF the fat-producing grams
because larger proportion ofthe food
Is consumed in the system, like fuel in
stove, to keep the animal warm, ane
all the internal, as well as external cir
cumstances that help to keep the ami
NAL warm, tend to success in the I'M
der.aking; but in warm weather give
literally of cooling, fresh vegetables
and less Indian corn.

Tar I'm the Poultry House.

Poultry breeders seem to have fall
ed to discover the value of tar. 1t is
very useful and valuable ID many
ways. Some breeders tar their poul-
try fences in preference to whitewash-
ing them. though we do not like to see
it done, for it gives the surroundings
such a gloomy, forbidding look. Ii
undoubtedly contributes largely to the
durability of the wood, protecting it
from the ravages of storm and time. 1t
is in the poultry house, however, that
the value of tar Is the greatest, for 1t
conduces greatly towards healthfulness.
When that scourage of the poultryman
chicken cholera, makes its appearance,
we would advise, first, a thorough
cleansing of the house next a gener-
Gus application of Carolina tar on all
the joints, cracks and crevices of the
inside OF the building and then plenty
on the building, and then plenty of
fresh whitewash properly applied. The
tar absorbs or drives away the faint of
disease, and makes the premises
wholesome. The smell is not very
offensive, in fact many people like it,
and it is directly the opposite of W.
healthy. To vermin, hce, ETC., the
smell OF tar is very repulsive, and but
few will remain after you have tared
the cracks, etc. A friend Of ours in
MARYLAND was once troubled with
chicken cholera, and by adopting the
above, in connection with removing
affected fowls, he soon put stop to
its ravages. A small lump of tar in
drinking water supplied to the fowls
will be found beneficial, provided 1t is
the Carolina tar, and not that known
as gas tar. which is very different
