Agricultural Notes.

Farm tenantry is doubtless increas.
is one with which we must constantly
reckon. As result OF tenantry. social
conditions become yearly worse In
many Of our farming communities. The
tenant does not feel that he is n fixture,
and takes little interest In the COM
munity. The owners Of the land in
too many cases prefer for tenant
man without children. as there are in
that case none to increase the district
school tax. This is another new prob.
lem that must be faced.

barley - . Horse Food.

At the North Dakota Experiment
Station, in study OF Its value for
work stock, barley was fed to three
horses and two mules for nine months.
Timothy hay was given as roughage
during the trial. The mules did not
eat the barley. with marked relish at
any time. but for the first two months.
while doing light work, they con-
sumed all that was necessary to keep
them In working condition. At the
end Of two months. when the amount
Of labor was increased they would not
eat a correspondingly greater. amount
Of barley. They soon began to refuse
1t entirely for one. two. three and
four feeding times. They were then
changed to an oat ration each alter
nate month. When a change to oats
came they would eat with apparent
relish and would regain some of their
lost flesh. One OF the pair would re-
fuse the barley more regularly than
the other but neither could be main
tnined satisfactorily upon it.
The Thoroughbred Cross.-we are
pleased to know that there Is a more
general inclination this season among
breeders Of trotting stock to expert
ment with the thoroughbred cross than
has prevailed since the standard craze
swept over the country some twenty
years ago. says the American Horse
Breeder. This seems to us a sure in
dication Of an Improvement in speed
In the future. No practical breeder in
fact, no theorist who has studied the
subject Of heredity, can find any
ground for claiming that the introduc-
tion of carthorse cross has ever i'm
proved the speed of any horse. no mat
ter what gait he Or she may have
adopted. All the improvement in the
speed ability Of the light-harness borse
that has ever been effected has come
from the speedy. thoroughbred race
horse. Increased ability must como
from the same source.
