The feeding of straw to horses during
the winter is very common practice,
and while oat straw in good condition
can be safely used as a substitute for
hay in times of scarcity the use of wheat
straw is to be avoided. Straw OF any
kind contains large percentage of indi-
gestible matter, and in wheat straw this
percentage is so large that it frequently
causes attacks of collie and obstinate
constipation. Horses fed on straw should
also get a good supply of bran mashes or
boiled feed TO counteract the constipaf-
ing tendency of the straw, Musty fee
of any kind is AN abomination and a
FREQUENT cause of disease. - Norwest

A correspondent Of the New York

the hackneys there. We reproduce part
of the letter. with pictures of the hack
ney stallion Acrobat and the hackney
mare Miss Helen.
OF Acrobat The Tribune writer says:
The stallion Acrobat is certainly re-
markable animal, and the bitterest op-
ponent of hackney blood cannot fail TO
admire his superb form and brilliant &C
ton. He is among the latest of Judge
Hilton's acquisitions. Mr.. Bloodgood
purchased him a year ago at Napels.
Cambridgeshire, England, where he was
foaled in 1888. He had been shown as a
3-year-old in London, taking fourth

Rich Men Are Improving the Live stock

Ex-Judge Hilton of A. I. Stewart
fame has gone into the live stock and
farming business in New York near Sar-
atoga. He has bought out 20 or 80 OF
the old time farmers and thrown their
places into one great estate of l,5O0
acres. He has purchased and imported
some of the finest stock of all kinds and
put the animals on his farm for use and
show. Like so many other wealthy men
in the past few years, Judge Hilton Is
especially taken with the hackney horse
and will breed this family extensively
endeavoring at the same time to engraft
the blood on the native farm equines OF
the vicinity.
