sllaEo Ration for Horses.

It Is not the general practice to feed
silage to horses, but In numerous cases
1t has been fed to them with success.
When silage was first introduced nu-
merous instances occurred Of injury re-
sulting from feeding it to horses. This
was probably due to giving too large
an amount for the small stomach of the
horse. This caused collie, or some sim
liar trouble. The writer knows of sew
eral cases where horses have died when
fed silage, but 1t could not be demon
strated that the silage was at fault,
though suspicion pointed that way.
This food, when very acid, should be
fed to horses only in limited way. In
discussing this question, Stewart notes
that there have been many fatal cases
of stable horses eating too much grass.
Evidence is quite as strong that grass
has caused fatal as often as silage.
The change from dry feed to grass or
silage must be very gradual, Stewart
fed silage to our horses for two winters,
adopting the same precautions as he
would in feeding grass, the results be-
Ing quite satisfactOry.-C. s. Plumb, In
Prairie Farmer.

warrant her disuse as breeder.
Breed stylish driving horses by using

SO plain fact that the remedy should

Cook the potatoes and feed them TO
swine with meal, we would say to sub
scriber They may be fed raw, how
ever It is better to feed potatoes than
to sell them at present prices.
In winter time 1t stands to reason
that warm feed and water are better
for the animal than cold feed and
water. When given warm there is no
draft upon the heat of the system to
warm 1t.
The improved breeds of swine give a
good account of every mouthful Of
proper food fed to them. The unim-
proved hog will not do this, and hence
It requires more feed to make pound

the SowD are given too concentrated
q food and not sufficient variety. No

ments Of animal life in the proper pro-
portion. Many farmers feed their
brood Sows largely on peas during the
winter, with the result that the young
pigs arc fabby and weak, and very
often live but few hours. Milk, roots
and oGt chops, bran or shorts, with ac-
cess to earth or sods, make well-bal-

Row to Realize the Hlg hest PrioO at
Least Cost of Production.
In rearing pigs for market we should
have definite object in view. This OBJ
ject should be to produce the pig that
will realize the highest price in the
market at the least cost for production.
As rule, the shorter breeds of pigs can
be produced at less cost than the long
er-sided fellows. The greater distance
the extremities are from the heart, the
greater will be the food required to
maintain the animal in life. In select
ing the breed, see that the male animal
has good pedigree, that he is typical
animal of the breed he represents, that
he is descended from animals that have
been In the habit of producing large
litters, and that he Ia well developed
for his age. The SOW should be select
ed for rapid development, regular
breeding, producing large litters, and
gentle disposition. The brood sow
should be retained for several years, as
old sows produce stronger pigs. She
should be allowed to raise two litters
annually. II we wish TO have vigor-
ous, healthy young pigs, the brood sow
SHOULD be carefully fed. During sum-
mer there Is no trouble, as the sow
usually has SUFFICIENT variety in her
fooa. With the early spring pigs there
