FHE HORSES FOOT.

Every farmer must have noticed
that horses grown in dry countries
have small, upright feet, and those
grown on wet, low lands have fiat,
weak-heeled ones, as d rule. Ponies
grown for generations on steep hill
sides and rocky heights develop d
strong, high foot with ii small ground
surface, but with almost finty hardi-
ness. What connection has this
with horse management on the farm;
What is the hOOt, anyhow?
HOofs of all small animals are
made of practically the same mate
rial as the skin of the horse, the
horn of the COW, and the nail of the
man. The layers are closer packed
in the hoof than in the skin, while
the horn and nails are made of the
same material but of less thickness
than the hoof. If you soak the
horns, nails. and hOOfs in strong soda
water, the scales will separate and
when placed under d microscope
furnish the proof of similarity

absorb about thirty per cent. of
water, thus increasing both its
weight and bulk. Under natural
conditions the horse is provided with
the required moisture, not in the
shape Of oil, of which it viii absorb
only seven per cent. but of water. If,
now, You allow Il horse to stand IN
the stable for "a considerable time de

COARSE FEED FOR SWINE AND CATTLE

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer
In the attempt to make our farm
stock very choice meat producers
concentrated food has been fed to
such an extent that the animals have
in MANY instances become dependent
upon fine foods for their growth and
development. 1t is possible to carry
this feeding to such IN extreme that
the animals would be of little use II
fed on anything else. The feeding
of concentrated foods must newt
ably tend to weaken the vitality OF
the stock and make them unit for
general farm purposes. The stomach
of cattle, sheep, swine or other do
nestle farm animals is fitted for the
digestion Of coarse and fine food, and
if by accident or design either class
of foods are denied them that organ
must undergo some change. The
winter dollhouse lambs which are
reared so carefully must be fed on
rich. concentrated food to produce
tender. delicate meat, and if coarse
food was given to them they would
soon cease to grow. They are an
artificial product of the breeders
art, and in their way they T very
good. They serve a purpose OF their
own, but not for the farmer.
1t would be mistaken economy for
any except choice breeders to at
tempt to bring up their cattle, swine
or sheep on any limited grain ration.
Both from point of view of cost and
final results this policy would be a
mistaken. Coarse, bulky food Is
essential to the proper growth and
development IF all farm animals, and
with a little preparation this can be
provided for the animals the whole
year round. Experiments made in
feeding show that the best ration Is
one that includes a great variety OF
bulky food, mixed with fine cOncen-
trated food sufficiently to make the
balance a sensible one. The rate Oh
the two must of course differ accord,
ing to the relative nOurishing quail.
ties of the coarse food. Glover con.
tains many of the essential ingredl
ents for forming muscle, bone anc
strength, but corn fodder, beans and
good timothy hay furnish nutrimen
in different proportions. A consist
ent ratio of grain, however, can b.
adopted for the winter and summer
season, and then with liberal feedine
of coarse fodder, roots and %succulenr
food the animals are sure to thrive
and fatten without much forcing
The normal growth of farm animu-.
is after all the most desirable, fo1
in this way they build up an ~eXcellen.

MIXED BREEDS FOR MARKET.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Most of us advocate the raising of
different breeds separately, and in
the long run this probably is the
best system, especially in the major
ity of cases, but there are exceptions
to this rule. have in mind a neigh
Dor who raises thousands of brOllers
for market every year, and his birds
are all so good and fat that he has
little difficulty in finding a good mar
ket for them. They are always
classified as extra fine in the city
markets, and he gets the top prices.
Yet this man never separates his
breeds. He mixes them up hope
Observation-Disclosures, LeghOrns, Ply
mouth Rocks, Minorcas and Lang
shans. He tells me that he puts no
stock in breed for the average grower
except that the individual birds
which he buys must be extra fine.
He admits that the careful breeder
is necessary for his business, for
without him the different varieties
would not reach the high excellence
they have attained. But it is not
his business to emphasize or carry
the breeding of one or two varieties
any further. He accepts the best re
suits of the breeders, and then mixes
them together to produce market
able fowls, broilers and r~Oasters.
The secret which he thinks is at
the bottom of his success is that of
careful selection of individuals and
proper feeding and treatment. He
permits no fowls to come to his place
that I not fine specimens of their
particular breed. He makes it a
business also to fatten young pullets
and fowls for market which he pur-
chaserS from the farmers. His men
scour the country for miles around
and buy all decent fowls of the right
size, paying cash for them. The men
have instructions to take all they
a get, provided they are strong
and healthy looking birds. They
may be thin and half fed, but they
must be healthy looking and not
affected IN any way by disease.
These fowls are brought to the farm
and then hOpelessly mixed in the fat
tening yard. When they have been
kindly treated and fed for several
weeks they are ready for the market.
In nearly all cases they are fine fat
birds, and when dressed for market
they show very little difference in
appearance. They all bear the trade
mark of this energetic man. They
are fat and plump looking, and one
can tell by the touch that their meat
Is deliciously soft and tender. Now
the change created in the young
fowls Is due entirely to the feeding
and careful treatment. Bad cOndi-
ton as the result of bad treatment is
never apparent in these birds. The
whole experience Of this successful
poultry dealer seems to emphasize
the fact that careful business meth
DDS will pay even in farming. We
must learn to do the best for the
consuming public, and then we will
get the most for our work.

Farm Miscellany.
FOR T READING.

Every Farmer Ought to Use the Winter
Months to Become a Better and More Pro-
gressive Farmer-Here are Some Books
That Will Help You.
Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
L. H. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 300 pages.
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest $1.25 to better adj
vantage than by sending that
amount to us for a copy of Prof. L.
Fl. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the sswhys and wherefOres"-the
principles-of the business" OF
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as ID result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 300
pages. Send us 81. 25 and get copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.
