CORN md HORSES.


Great American Cereals High Place as
Food For Working Teams.
Professor Thomas Shaw writes as fol-
lows:
''Corn is deserving of higher place as
a grain food for work horses than is
generally accorded to it and of higher
place than the chemist would assign to
it. The chemist speaks of it as contain
ing too much starch to make it suita-
BILE food for feeding to horses, especially
in warm weather. Or if the chemists
do not say that many who have written
on this subject say it for them, after
they have taken the analysis of the
chemists as the basis of their remarks.
But the facts do not sustain those state
corn states have good, sound. healthy
horses, speaking relatively, and when
at work their chief grain food is corn.
Much of the prejudice that exists
against corn as food for horses has
doubtless arisen from the i'll effects
U
not in perfectly wholesome condition.
In many instances it does not properly
mature, especially in the northern
states. When it does so mature, it is
likely to mold more or less, even when
the mold on the exterior surface OF the
corn is not apparent to the eye. Such
corn is not wholesome, and dealers
sometimes grind it to hide traces of
mold. Such meal should not be fed to
horses. The man who feeds it on the
cob knows best what he is feeding. On
the other hand, the fact should not be
overlooked that corn is not nearly SO
good food for immature colts and
brood mares as oats and. bran, since it
has not enough Of the phosphates in it
to build up the horse properly or enough
protein to build up the flesh.

Kept Eusilage Over.

This ensilage was, to be exact, about
80 months in the silo, and still was
eaten with great relish and evident full
feeding value. Our plan of keeping the
ensilage is TO cover to the depth of few
inches only with old, wet and rotten
straw, tread it down as firmly as posi-
BILE and sow bushel of oats in it. Let
them grow and live as long as they will
and fill the straw with roots, and the
dead tops later OH. This will make a
sort of Shiny mass, and the sealing
seems to be all that can be desired.
Last year we just raked oats into the
top layer of the ensilage. wet the sur
face little aud let the oats grow what
they would. This did about as we'll, ex
cept that family of rats came from
somewhere and burrowed into the ensi-
lage from the top, and it caused quite ii
lot of ensilage to spoil.-Country Cen

are many reasons why a wise woman fol-
lows this course. The chances are that an
obscure physician of small practice will
not diagnose troubles of this nature prop
erly If he does, he will insist IN the
obnoxious examinations and local treat
ment from which every sensitive, modest
woman shrinks.
The specialist referred to is DR.. R. v.
Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, at Buffalo, n Y. Thirty years
ago he discovered a wonderful medicine
for diseases peculiar to women, that may be
used effectively in the privacy of the home,
and does away with all necessity. for exam
nations and local treatment. This medi-
cine is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. It acts directly on the delicate
and important organs concerned in wife
hood and motherhood 1t makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t allays in
ha1nmation heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones and builds up the nerves. Taken
during the period of prospective maternity,
it banishes the usual discomforts and
makes baby's coming easy and almost pain
less 1t insures the little newcomers
