WHITENING IDLE HORSES.

On most farms there is not enough
work during the winter season to keep
constantly employed half tho number
of teams kept busy during seed time
and harvest. Mnny farmers think it
economical to winter tho idle horses
ut the straw stack, but such economy
is more imaginary than real. If these
horses had their shoes removed and
were allowed to run loose in twelve
by fourteen ground floor box-stall and
fed less qnntity of straw than they
eat and tramplo under foot i'll the
opon yard, their condition would be
fur bettor Mt the opening of spring.
1t should also be remembered that
only young horses whose digestion is
good and that are known to be easy
keepers, can DO successfully wintered
on straw alone. Oats arc tho natural
food of tho horse and should be fed
during enforced idleness rathn- t;.an
grain or meal of moro ..imulating
nature. If lloEtir -stablo they should
have new bedding rs needed, and be
or combed and brushed daily
whether they arc stabbed or in tho
open mir. A feed of potatoes, carrots,
turnips, beets, or apples should be
given weekly. Such food is fully
worth tho market price for feeding to
horses in winter. -American Agricul-
turist.
