LIGHTER SHOES FOR HORSES.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The wear and tear on hOrsefesh
make quite an item on the farm, and
ANYTHING that will reduce this fric-
ton for the farmer should be vel
coined. It has been proven beyond
dispute that the average horse IS
shod with too heavy shoes, and If
lighter ones we're substituted the
animal could do more work with less
WEAKNESS. Heavy shoes have no
particular advantage except for large
truck horses on stone roads where
shoes wear out quickly. Even in
such S it is doubtful if too heavy
shoes prove of any value. Certainly
for farm horses light shoes are much
more satisfactory. The effects of
such a change are quite noticeable
shortly after they are put on, and in
a years time the extra amount OF
work that is obtained from a horse
will more than pay for the shorter
time that light shoes may wear.
The main object of the shoe is to
protect the hOof, and the lighter 1t
can be made and serve its purpose
the better it is for the horse. A
good part of the year horses on the
farm would be better off without
shoes, and they can do blowing and
similar work in soft fields without in
anyway injuring the feet. In win
ter when the ground is frozen it is
quite different, and shoes seem neces-
sary at these times. A horse weigh
ing LOO pounds should generally be
shOd with shoes not weighing more
than twelve to fifteen ounces each.
If four ounces are added to each
shoe, the total difference in the ami
mails shoes is sixteen ounces In
blowing, cultivating, moving and
reaping a farm horse will walk from
ten to twenty miles a day. If it
takes. about four feet each step the
horse will lift half a pound extra on
it's two feet or 900 pounds in every
mile. If we make the average days
work fifteen miles, the horse will lift
$500 pounds extra a day, or nearly
five tons. The energy required to
lift this amount is wasted and serves
no useful purpose. If it could be eX
pended in doing extra work that
would pay, it would nearly pay the
animals keep. Leg-weary horses
are common on the farm, and leg
weary horses are apt to break down
in time and have crooked and ailing
limbs. It is not only a matter of hu-
mainly, but one Of profit to tighten
the horses burden all we can, and
this is good way.

WARN NESTS FOR LAYERS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Just as soon as cool weather comes
on the price of eggs jumps up, and
the hens aggravatingly lessen the
number of eggs they lay per day. OF
course there is a close relationship
between these two, and the first is
caused by the latter. If we would
make the most money out of eggs we
must get the hens to keep up their
laying right through cold weather.
The only easOn why they do not do
this is because of the change in their
surroundings. Nature demands
from them more food to keep them
warm, and usually lacking sufficient
food Of a varied nature they have
less and less with which to make
eggs. We must strive to keep up
the variety of the food so far as pos
sible, and even to add to it, and then
if we give the right surrounding
conditions we may expect to make
money with the hens. 1t will tax
our ingenuity sometimes in the late
fall so keep up this varied food sup
ply without mourning extra expense,
but it can be done, has been done,
and will be done again in many in
stances. The person who applies a
little thought and planning in the
work will of course not do it, but
the one who uses his brains well will.
One Of the reasons why the hens
begin to lay fewer eggs in the fall is
that they are not provided with COM
Portable nests and quarters. The
hens that cannot get along we'll
enough IN cold weather when walk
ing around and scratching for a din
ner may not be very uncomfortable
sitting on a nest. Some of them
catch colds and others feel the dis
comfort so much that they will dis
play a decided Discrimination to Law.
Now we can make quite a difference
IN their inclination to lay by making
their nests war and comfortable.
There is a good deal in habit, and
hens that have been in the habit of
laying all summer should not be
allowed to get out of it. Feed them
thoroughly and then give them
warm, pleasant nests where they
will like to go for laying their eggs.
Indeed, they will seek the nests with
enthusiasm, and after the work of
the day take it as a matter of course
to go in and rest and lay. There is
so much in the desire and inclination
Of a hen to do a certain thing day by
day that the weekly output of eggs
is largely influenced by her mind.
We should remember this when next
we attempt to build a hen house,
nest house OF grounds for exercise.
Try to appeal to the mind of the
hens, and if it suits them they will
do much better than if their GUAR
tiers are dirty, narrow, ugly and
gloomy. We have not yet learned
all about hen psychology. and some
day we may find that it will prove
an important branch of our business
TO know more about it.
