many OF the seed ticks remained alive
until July 21st-four months and ten

tured by August 18th, when they were

for their chances OF being killed by
cold, sunlight and heavy rains.

Soaked Feed for Horses.

II is often claimed that soaking feed

easily masticated and improves its d.
gestibility, says bulletin 40 OF the De
partment OF Agriculture. II is doubt
ful II the matter is as important with
horses as with some other classes OF
farm animals. II has been found In
experimental tests that healthy horses
with good teeth dlgested dry beans
and corn as wei as the same material
That had been soaked in water for
% hours. Soaking or wetting feed
may sometimes be OF Importance as
regards the health OF horses. Ac.
cording 10 the experience OF an Eng.

fed on account OF a shortage In the
hay crop. gave better results when
soaked than when dry. The dry ma.
tcrial caused collie and constipation.
IL was also observed that the horses
relished soaked grain. II Is believed
that the dust in hay causes hcavcs,
