FEEDING HORSES NOW ON
MOLASSES AND IT GOES
Said to Be Cheaper and Better Than Oats
as It May Be More Easily
Assinilated.

New York, Jan. ao.--Between 1000 and
5000 horses in Brooklyn are being fed on
molasses because it is cheaper and better
than oats This statement is made by
a veterinary surgeon, who adds that the
horses In harness from ~ to IA hours n
day do not take time to masticatc and
properly prepare dry oats and other fod-
der. The result is that the animals receive
little .nutritive value from their food.
.Molasses, If properly diluted and mixed
with hay, bran and meal in proper pro-
portion is in a dgestible condition and
ready for assimilation the moment it en-
tiers the mouth. Its nutritive value, is.
therefore,. quite apparent. 1t is not only
peter and more nutritious food than oats,
but il is much cheaper in the end.

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet il may
be OF some help to consider the matter.
If the cause is something over which you
have no control it is obvious that worrying
will not help the matter in the least On
the other hand. il within your control you
have only to act. When you have a cold
and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

worry as to the outcome will quickly dis
appear. There is no danger of pneumo-
