quietly and not too rapidly for a few
miles, and the horse becomes warmed
up, his muscles distended, and he is re-
lieved of the hay eaten the night be-
fore, then push along briskly, and do
the heaviest work of the day. Don't
hurry up the long hills. Stop frequent

load off the horse. and give him time
to catch his breath. You will make
better time in the end by pursuing this

For the average stock feeder com

feeding are the most profitable.
whether the kind of shelter, the daily
care or the preparation of the food are
considered. Such is the outcome of
the feeding trials through several
years at the University of Illinois by
G. E. Morrow. Thus the weight of
evidence is strongly against the
profitableness of cooking the Iations,
though grinding the grain frequently
returned a profit. especially in the
case of small grain. 1t is wasteful to
feed unground wheat to hogs or cattle,
as much of the whole wheat passes
through these animals undigested
The same is true o barley, rye and
oats, so that when a small grain can
not be ground it should be well soaked
1t is not generally profitable, however,
to grind corn for fattening cattle and
hogs. as in most cases the animals can
grind it more eheaply than the farmer,
the undigested grains being in good
condition for the hogs which follow
the cattle. Either the crushing or the
soaking of the large, unshelled ear of
corn has been a profitable practice. In
good weather the outdoor feeding of
cattle was more profitable than stall
feeding, and it is believed that good
shed is more profitable than stable as
a shelter for steers. Stock cannot be
fed as economically during the ex-
tremes of winter or summer as in the
spring and fall, though winter feeding
may often be justified by the higher
prices secured, while some grain feed
ing during the summer is often neces-
sary in order that the cattle may be
ready for the fall market The cost
of fall grain feeding of cattle has
seldom been repaid by the direct in
crease in weight at prevailing prices

Bran stands decidedly foremost as
the food most generally in use for the
invalid horse. 1t acts as a laxative, is
frequently tempting to the appetite,
and easy of digestion. There is no
part of the general treatment more
universal than offering this substance
as a change of food. Does the horse
show slight symptoms of cold or fever,
a warm bran mash is convenient plan
of steaming, and constantly of soothing
the irritable mucous membranes of the
air passages; it is a substitute for the
more stimulating diet he is accustomed
to, and gently promotes the activity of
the digestive apparatus; it is also a
convenient medium for the giving of
certain simple remedies. When it is
necessary to administer purgative
medicine, bran mash or two renders
the bowels more susceptible of its
action, and smaller drug is therefore
required to produce the desired effect.
Bran mashes may be given hot or cold

to the horse-but the nibbling of the

effect, and to exercise a salubrious in
Huence on the skin, Certain it is that
a sick horse may be coaxed into eating
carrot when disinclined to partal1e of
other hourishment, with the greatest
beneficial results. For the ailing horse
carrots are most valuable as an article
of diet, and a few may be given with
advantage to a horse in a healthy con-
dition.
Oatmeal is extremely nutritious, and
as food for the convalescent horse is
most valuable; the bruising process the
grain has undergone breaks the husk
and renders it more easily acted upon
by the digestive organs. 1t is usually
given in the form of Cruel, and in
that form it is one of the most essen
tial articles of diet for the infirmary.
Linseed is decidedly to be included in
the sick-diet roll. 1t is nutritious, and
