Mixed Ratlons for Farm Horses.

Mixed Ratlons for Farm Horses.
Many horse feeders regard oats as
almost necessary, and It is doubtless
true that in large regions of the Unit
ed States the most common ration for
horses consists Of oats and hay, with
an occasional bran mash In the
South and West corn seems to be the
most common feed, especially IN rural
districts Many experiments have
been reported which support the
theory that horses may be satisfac-
torily fed and reasonable combination
Of wholesome materials which supplies
the required nutrients In due proper
tion. In other words, protein and en-
ergy are required BY the animal body
rather than any special feed. Believ-
ing that more horses should be raised
and that an economic system Of feed
ing would be an incentive to horse
breeders, G. W. Rurkett or the New
Hampshire Station, recently studied
the comparative value Of number Of
mixed ratlons with the station farm
horses during a period Of two years.
The rations were so planned that an
abundance OF nutritive material was
supplied by grain mixtures which were
cheaper than oats. Throughout the
greater part OF the experimental period
hay was fed with the grain During
part Of the time corn fodder was
used. The comparative merits OF the
following five rations were studied in
the first test; Hay 10 pounds. bran 2
pounds. corn 6 pounds. and gluten feed
6 pounds; hay 10, bran 2. corn 6. oats
8 hay 10. corn 8. and bran z hay 10,
corn 8, linseed oil meal 4; and hay 10,
cottonseed meal l, bran and corn 8.
Each Of The FIVE horses included in the
investigation received one Of the ra-
tions for one month, the rations being
rotated, so that during the FIVE months
Of the test each horse was fed all the
rations. The following were some Of
the conclusions arrived at;
Any food stun or combination OF
food stuffs furnishing the desirable
nutrient at least cost should be CON
sidered in preparing rations for horses.
A mixture Of bran and corn. half and
half, is a good substitute for corn
and oats for feeding work horses.
Corn stover is good substitute for
timothy hay for winter feeding Of
horses because Of its feeding value.

value. A change from grain mix

oil meal, slowly or abruptly, does not
cause a decrease Of weight IN horses
if a proper substitute ration is fed.
The average total cost per year for
actual food supply per horse was
$74.32. The average cost for food per
hours work done during two years
was "a cents.

Like Wisconsin. Iowa seems to be
forging to the front as a butter-mak-
ing state. This Is largely the result
Of a campaign OF education that has
been carried on for years by the
state agricultural college and the
state dairy and food commission. Pro
lessor G. L. Mckay. professor Of
dairying at Ames; Christian Lassen.
his assistant and II. r. Wright, dairy
and food commissioner Of the state,
have been powerful factors In improv-
ing the product Of the 800 creameries.
Prices have been good and the vol
ume OF butter large. Rain has been
enough abundant TO keep the pastures
in good condition. Moreover. oleo
selling under its own name has not
interfered TO any extent with the sale
Of creamery butter II it has dis
placed any kind Of butter Il has been

be interesting to know to what ex-

all, that In the middle Of the sum-

The cultivation Of hemp for fiber
was formerly practiced to a certain
extent In some Of the Western states
where it proved a profitable crop: but
as the labor Of harvesting il is much
greater than that Of most products,
and It Is also very exhausting to the
soil, especially when the seed Is
ripened. it has never been a favorite
crop with American farmers. It can
be more probably cultivated IN other
countries, where labor Is cheaper than
It is in our own.

The time OF year is near when dis
plays Of fruit are looked for at fairs
and conventions. Already the horti-
cultural societies are sending out cir
eulars urging fruit growers TO be pres
ent at their meetings with displays.
We can but exhort in the same d.
rection. Much good has been done by
the fruit exhibitions Of the past: still
more should be done In the future.
More people should contest for the
prizes. The displays are a school in
which the intelligent farmer takes up
and keeps up the study Of varieties OF
fruit One OF the great weaknesses of
cur displays so far has been the small
number OF persons participating.
Often leading fruit growers will be
found constituting the entire group
Of showers Of fruit Some Of them
win have their exhibits in nearly all
classes. Not infrequently a very large
part Of the aggregate display is made
BY one man. As a result, a consider
able amount Of only common fruit IS
shown. though some Of the product
may be exceptionally fine. The show
man Is not to be blamed. but rather
commended. as he has simply occu-
pied vacant space. What we want Is
a great number Of people showing
enly their very best product and
methods.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRA
Just Breathe Hyomei Three Times Day
To Be Cured.

If few years ago someone had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed, and
il remained for r. L. Booth, that emf
nent Investigator, to discover in Hy-
omei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed the most mi
raeulous cures of catarrh, and is to-
day recognized by leading members OF
the medical profession as the only adj
vertised remedy that can be relied up
on to do just what it claims.
The complete outfit of Hyomei
costs but S1.00, and consists of an in
haler. medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhal-
er for a few minutes four times a day
and it will cure the worst case of ca
tarrh. 1t soothes and heals the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects a COM
plete and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American Life
Insurance Company, ]. S. Nugent, of
New York City, writes, 'Hyomei has
completely cured my daughter OF ca
tarrh. from which she has been suf-
ferer for years"
In Annapolis there are scores OF
well-known people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomel. II
it does not cure you Feldmeycr
Brothers will return the money you
paid for Hyomei. This is the strong
est evidence that can be offered as TO
their faith in the remedy.
