FEEDING HORSES.
Care, Judgment and System to Re
Employed in Choosing Their Diet.

Care, Judgment and System to Bo
Employed In Choosing Their Diet.
The food should be of the quality and
quantity to impart strength, vitality
and elasticity; and this requires some
discrimination and care, as the food
should be harmonized both to the con-
dition of the horse and the severity Of
the labor to which he is subjected. As
rule, the stomach should not be dis
tended with food when prolonged, en-
ergetic effort is required. This is to be
especially guarded against in the feed
ing of hay. Greedy eaters can and
often will eat so much hay as to unfit
themselves for active labor, and ii
usually results in heaves or broken
wind. Heaves are always found in the
teamsters' or carriers stables, where
there is no care in feeding. This dis
ease is never found among racing
horses, from the fact that the utmost
care is used in selecting the food and
feeding in small quantities, or in adapt
ing it more perfectly to the wants of
the system.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
doubt, says u writer, that the reason
horses improve so much in wind by eat
ing prairie hay is, that it is so coarse
that they can not eat 1t fast enough to
overload the stomach. The quantity of
hay should be carefully regulated, and
never as much given as the horse will
eat If at all voracious. The majority of
| owners pack a large rack full, either
allowing liberty to eat too much or
making it unpalatable and unhealthy
by being breathed upon. From eight to
ten pounds is about the average guam
tity for an ordinary roadster to be al
lowed in twenty-four hours more or less,
according to size, the kind of work, and
the quantity of grain given Dusty or
moldy hay should never be fed, as it is
| liable to produce various forms of dis
ease.
The food should be clean and in quail
| ity perfect. One writer asserts that hay
is most perfect when it is about year
old. Horses would perhaps prefer it
earlier, but it is neither so wholesome
nor SO nutritious, and may cause purg-
ing. When it is year old it should re-
tain much of its green color and agreea-
BILE smell. The blades of corn pulled
ahu SuLSu III WIG Sunih-"h aio uhq quoS-
tionably much better than hay.
Oats make more muscle than corn.
Corn makes fat and warmth. Hence,
the colder the weather the more corn
may be given, and the harder tho work
the more oats. New oats are said TO be
more difficult to digest, and when eaten
in considerable quantity are apt to cause
flatulency or collie and arrangement of
the stomach and bowels. The same may
be said of corn. If not sound and dry
it may he regarded even more dangerous
than oats in this respect and should not

FARM HINTS.

GARDENING always pays, and that
ought to be encouraging to the farmer
who certainly is not making much else
pay. 1t pays in this way: 1t furnishes
good, healthful food to the family.
In planting red cedar seed it should
be remembered that but comparatively
few of the seed germinate, and that
sometimes the seed will lie in the
ground a long time before it will germ
mate.
THE value of fax as crop is about
three times that of hemp. Both crops
require preparation before market ting,
and for that reason are not as extern
sively cultivated as they would be but
for the extra labor required after the
crops are harvested.
PLowING and preparing the ground
for corn may be done at any time when
the ground is not frozen. The better
the preparation of the ground the more
plant-food available for the young corn
If the spring. Flowing also permits
the frost to pulverize the clods.
A GOOD way to manage hillside lands
that are liable TO wash, says Farm and
Fireside, is to keep them in grass as
much as possible. A crop of wheat or
other small grain may be grown, but
the land should be Immediately seeded
back to grass.
IT is more important to mulch the
strawberry bed in mild winter season
than during severe cold weather, as the
ground is subject to more frequent
freezing and thawing. A mulch does
not keep plants warm, but assists in
keeping them at an even temperature,
rendering them less liable to changes.
CABBAGE, Scotch kale and other
standing vegetable crops, when the
ground is dry, should be lightly hoed be-
tween and the plants earthed up; this
protects their roots from frost, and sup
ports them against wind; and the hoe
ing removes weeds, and By loosening She
top crust prevents frost entering so deep
as 1t does in hard ground.
