Feeding Work Horses.

The effectiveness Of working horses.
and especially on farms, is often i'm.
paired by injudicious feeding. The
subject is better understood than it
used to he, but there are yet for too
many instances of horses being put to
work with stOmachs overloaded, and
yet not providing the nutriment need
ed to give the muscular strength which
hard work always requires. Hence
the horse Is always slow in his gait
and soon tires out. This overlooking
the stomach with unnutritious food is
mainly due to the average farmers
dependence on hay as the staple and
cheapest food for horses. Really, so
far as effectiveness goes, grain, and
especially oats, are always cheaper
than hay. Liverymen and those in
cities who keep horses soon discover
this fact. They have to buy oil that
their horses eat and learn to discrim-
mate. When they feed hay exclusively
they find that the horse Is incapaci-
tated for fast or long driving on the
road.-American Dairyman.

Swine growing can only be made
satisfactory and profitable by the use
of grass and clover fields. This kind
Of food is for growth and develop
ment, which are essential to good size
and vitality. Therefore the ground de-
voted to grass and clover for this pur-
pose is as profitable as any on the
farm. The hog must be grown before
he is ready to %fatten, and when so
grown he is ready to receive the more
concentrated foods Of corn, linseed
meal, ETC., for a quick finish for mar
ket. 1t cannot be too strongly urged
that the clover field is a large element
Of profit in the swine economy. On

The wife of the celebrated Lord Clar-

her heir to his property. which is said
to have amounted to between u. 900 and
5000 pounds.
