Story of a Quick Horse Trade.
Providence Or. L. Journal

One of the quickest horse trades on rec
ord was made on Tuesday at Central Falls.
A man was driving his horse, attached to
an open carriage, along Central street,
when another person, also in an open car
riage, tried to pass him. Just as the car
rIages were abreast the man in the second
named carriage shouted: "How wiz you
trade horses" "Even," quickly replied
the other, and without any further talk
about the merits or dement's of either
horse both were unhtched, harness
changed, hitched up again, and away
went the teams, each driver being appar-
emily satisfied with the trade. A strange
fact is that neither of the traders knew
each other.

COMPLETE FOODS.
Eutritive Value Of Dried Fodder and Sup.
Elementary Foods.

Elementary fOOus'
Naturally, grass is a complete food
tor all herbivorous animals. Farm
stock of all kinds will subsist upon grass
when it is young and succulent. The
common June grass of the Northern
States, the Kentucky blue grass of the
South and the Poa pratenSiS of the
botanists is well known as the best
pasture grass and as giving the enyia-
bic character which the best dairy re-
giOns possess for choice butter and
Sheese, and the best pasture localities
claim tor fine cattle, sheep and horses.
This grass has the following compost
hon:

Mineral matter. 4.46 "..ll.5+
Nutritive ratio, l to 4.S.
This is seen to be very nearly per-
feet food, containing the nutritive ele-
ments in almost precisely the requisite
proportion, which is of protein to Of
carbohydrates. Some other excellent
pasture grasses have the same compar-
alive composition, as redtop, to "a,
and orchard grass, l to 6. When these
grasses are fresh and in a growing con-
dition their nutritive elements are more
easily digestible than when they are
dried and in the form of hay, because of
Che large quantity of water contained in
fresh heritage and the soluble cOndi-
ton of the fiber at this period. For this
reason hay alone is found not to be a
satisfactory food for cattle and horses,
although this is probably due to the
necessity for larger ratio of carbon
aceous elements in the cold weather,
when the vital heat is heavily drawn
upon.
But farmers can not pasture all their
stock in the summer nor feed only hay
in the winter. A large proportion OF
the feed must be made up of other fod-
der, as cornstalks, straw, etc, and these
are far from being well-balanced foods.
For instance the following kinds OF
green and dry fodder com monty USED
are seen to vary considerably as to theil
nutritive ratio:

These figures show the great differ
ence which exists between green and
dry folders of the same kind, and also
how incomplete the dried folders are
as food.
As it is necessary, however, for
farmers to use these dry folders, it is
indispensable for them to preserve their
stock in healthfuT' condition by using
some mixtures of other substances with
the coarse feed Without this addition
cattle can merely subsist through the
winter, as is the common case with cows,
which are fed upon straw or cornstalks
alone, and come out in the spring barely
able or even unable to stand from
weakness induced by the waste of mus
Gle for want of sufficient nutriment to
renew the constant exhaustion Of it. a
COW fed upon wheat straw gets but one
pound of muscle-forming nutriment to
45 pounds of carbonaceouS elements,
and these 90 mostly to sustain the ami
NAL heat, and to procure this is obliged
to consume nearly $50 pounds Of the
straw. This explains clearly why straw
fed animals fail so miserably in the
spring after several months of partial
starvation. Dry corn stalks are but
little better than straw, and require rich
supplementary food to make up for their
defects.
What supplementary foods, then, arc
the best for making up an equivalent
food which contains the right proper
ton ofnutriment? OF these there is q
large choice. Some of the most easily
attainable are mentioned, with their nu-
trtive ratio, as follows;
Rye, nutrttiVe ratio. ....................l 10
Oats, nutrtive ratio. 10 q
Corn, nututVe ratio. .......i TO SO
Peas, nutrtiVe ...,..,l TO ~
Wheat bran, nutrtive ratio ............1 to 80
MiddlingS, nutritiVe ratio. ..........,...l TO
Starch waste, nutritivc ratio .......1 to 5.3
Brewers grains, nutritiye ratio .......l to J
Linseed oil meal, nutrtive ratio........l TO
LuSpcd OiLn"w nrnccS nutritiVe rutiol TO / 1
COttopgeCd meal, nutritive ratio........ Il to Is
All these foods vary in a contrary di-
rection from the coarse folders, and
although they are highly nutritious, yet
the nutriment is decidedly unbalanced
and therefore unhealthful and produce
tive of disease. Wheat bran approaches
most nearly to a complete food; oats are
the next to bran in the list, and thus
oats, with occasional feeds of bran,
scalded to help its digestion and given
with portion Of hay, are a complete
but costly food for horses Economy,
however, has to be considered, and it is
one object in discussing this subject to
show how cheaper foods can be substi-
tuted for The more costly ones, with
equivalent results.
Corn. tits seen, contains 30 per cent.
excess of carbonaceouS matter, which
easily explains how coru-fcd animals
(swine for instance) become diseased
by the overlooking Of the blood with
these elements and depriving it of its
due proportion of nitrogen, the eXcre-
mentary organs being unable to dispose
of the overpluS. Cottonseed meal is
another Unbalanced and dangerous
food. which is to be used with the
