Corn Fodder for Horses.
Rural New Yorker.

There seems to be quite difference of
opinion among hor5emen as to the value
of corn fodder as a food for horses. A
leading farm paper a few weeks ago eau
toned its readers against feeding horses
on corn stalks, stating that they would
make the horses coats rough. Mr. G.. W.
Williams the breeder and trainer of
Axtell, says that his wonderful colt had
little besides corn-stalks for rough fodder
during nearl y two winters. He says he
considers corn-stalks the best rough fodder
ne can get for his colts. The writer once
worked for a farmer who never cut any
hay. His cattle and horses never had any
fodder but cured corn-stalks. The animals
always looked well and the horses did
their full share of work. The writer now
has two horses that have very little to do,
and are not heavily fed. One of them pre-
fers cornstalks to hay, while the other runs
down if fed on stalks without hay 1t is
an old horse, and cannot handle the stalks
as well as a younger horse would. We
find that this prejudice against corn-stalks
for horses is quite common among class
of farmers. Except in the case of old
horses with poor teeth, we do not think
the prejudice is just. In fact, it seems
reasonable that moderate supply of well
cured stalks will prove beneficial to horse
in winter. and even with old horses, if the
stalks could be cut and moistened with hot
water they would prove valuable A good
deal of the objection to stalks for horses
may be traced to the fact that the grain of
the corn is fed with the stalks This makes
an Unbalanced ration. When stalks
are fed, give oats and wheat bran.

their speed is quite twenty miles an hour;
but it may be twice as much. The bon

prove too serious to be trified with, he
now did his best to provide for future

was nothing in the present state of the

his preparations by returning to the inn,

Fishes Built For Speed.
London Public Opinion.

The speed of fishes is almost an unknown
quantity, it being, as Prof. G. Brown
Goode says, very difficult to measure. If.
says the Professor, you could get fish and
put in trough of water 900 feet long, and
start it at one end and make it swim to
the other without stopping. the infor-
nation could be easily obtained; but fish
are unintelligent, and will not do this.
Estimates of the speed of fish are conse-
quently only approximated, and more OF
less founded upon guessing. One can tell
however, at glance, whether fish is
built for speed or not. A fast fish looks
trim and pointed, like yacht. Its head
is conical in shape, and its fins fit down
