HORSES. THRIVE ON SILACE
But, Says an Indiana Man, It Must
Be Fed Judiciously and with
Some Care.

When silage was first introduced
many cases of sickness in horses wero
reported, and it was then thought
silage was not suited for horses; under
proper care, However, good silage is a
safe and. valuable food for horses.
When beginning to feed silage, allow
the animal to become accustomed t.
the food by degrees, as this is as i'm
portant as when changing from old to
new corn or from hay to grass. Al
the first feed give small amount, and
increase gradually as the animals ar.
petite and condition of. bowels may in.
dictate. Silage makes good roughage
for horses when used in connection
with hay or slower and grain. Silage
is also a good feed for hogs and has
been found to be economical to use in
conjunction with corn as mainte-
nance 1ation, but not so if used alone.
All good silage contains large
amount of corn and if large ration of
corn is given besides, it often proves
dangerous and gives bowel trouble.
Hogs fed from 20 to IS popnds of sill
age and IA to Fl pounds of corn on
the cob per week can be kept in good
condition through the severe winter.
BY using silage the feeder saves one
third in the cost of feed. Silage is
considered a cheap maintenance ration
for carrying brood sows over winter.

TIME FOR WEAVING COLTS.
How to Gring the Foals Through q
Serious Period Of Existence ~.
with Perfect Success. ,a.s. -,

The season for weaving <foals is at
hand and it is time to make preparation
therefor, if such preparation has not al
ready been made. The colt should be
taught to eat grain and be fed regularly
so that it will learn to depend upon the
feed rather than upon its mothers milk.
Under such conditions there will be
much less fuss on the part of both mare
and colt when the latter is finally re-
moved, and the change will have less
effect upon the growth and condition of
the colt, as it is extended over long
period and effected gradually, says the
Prairie Farmer. ' ~ w" F
1t will be we'll, too, to have the colt
halter-broken before it is taken away
from its mother. At no time can it be
more readily taught to stand tied or to
lead than when by the side of the dam.
Even If the colt is to run loose in a shed
or box during the winters until it is old
enough to work, the halter-b breaking at
this time should not be neglected. The
colt will never forget it and when ready
to 60 into harness will be much more
tractable because of the early lessons.
Again, it is often necessary to handle
the colts during their growing period
for the purpose of trimming the feet or
dressing wounds that have been acct
dentally inflicted and in such cases it
is a very great advantage to have them
well halter-broken.
The colt should be literally fed on
nourishing, growing food during its first
winter, as it's development the first year
determines largely the kind of a horse
it will make After the first year it will
get along very we'll on coarser and
cheaper feed than some other kinds Of
stock, but it should have of the best
during the first year.
While it should have liberal grain
ration the colt should not be fed too
much corn. Muscle and bone making
feeds such as oats and bran are better
suited to its needs. A mixture of corn,
oats and bran make an excellent grain
ration for the colt. With good clover
or alfalfa hay for roughage, the bran
may be dispensed with, and a larger
proportion of corn used with satisfac-
tory results.

RATION FOR WORK HORSES
A Combination Of Oats and Corn
Makes Wholesome and Most
Economical Feed. T.. ....,~..

We should always remember that
oats form the ideal grain food for the
horse, writes Prof. w. A. Henry. OF
the Wisconsin college of agriculture,
The kernel proper contains large
amount of nutriment. The bulls sur
rounding the grain give the material
bulk, tending thereby to prevent over
feeding, and at the same time render
ing the food light and easy to diges'
lion by the fluids of the stomach.
Where horses are hard worked one
should depart from the cat ration with
caution, and learn by experience What
can be accomplished. The farmer
might we'll try bran and gluten feed
as partial substitutes for oats. Re-
member that bran is light and par
TALLY inert, so that it may take the
place of a small portion of the hay
formerly consumed. On the othe.
hand, it furnishes to the horse proba'
bly, three-fifths or three-fourths as
much nutriment as the same weight OF
cats. In using gluten feed, remem-
Der that it is considerably higher in
protein than oats and almost or quite
as rich as the carbohydrates. In the
trial reduce the oat allowance one
third and substitute a mixture of bran
and gluten feed equal parts by weight.
: Remember, too, that corn can al.
ways be fed to horses with satisfac-
ton. There is limit, however, to
it's use, and in such cases as these the
supply should not be large. For one
feed each day allow couple of pounds
of corn in substitution for the same
Of oats. Remember that corn causes
horses to sweat easily if fed in large
quantities. 1t is better winter than
summer food. Corn is a strong, hearty
food and is much appreciated by hard
worked horses, because it does furnish
SO much energy. In the southern
part of the corn belt horses live al
most wholly upon corn. Farther north
where oats are the main crop they
subsist almost entirely on the latter
grain. A combination of the two vii!
usually prove more economical and
better than to feed either so exclusive
" as is customary.

Hogs Thrive on Skim-Milk.

Hogs Thrive on Skim-Milk.
The testimony on the value of skim
milk for hogs as food is convincing.
Hogs when fed milk and grain re-
quired much less dry matter to make
a pound of gain than hogs fed on milk
alone. The average experiments show
100 pounds of milk to be equal 10
about "a pounds Of grain. In Colora-
do, experiments showed that hogs fed
on milk and grain gained more than
twice as much per day and required
but little more than half as much dry
matter to each pound of gain as die
the hogs fed iI grain alone. Not only
did the hogs fed on milk and grain
gain more rapidly, but they grew lar
ger and were in much better condi-
ton, - a-."

Valuable Points in Flowing.

Farmers use the cultivator for a plow;
that is, they cultivate deep, with the OBJ
ject OF loosening thc soil. between the
rows IT the ground is to be broken up,
the plow is the thing to do it with, but
two inches is sufficient depth for cult
walton. Grass and weeds should never
be allowed to grow to a height to de-
mand blowing" with cultivator Keep
the top soil loose and never allow grass
or weeds to more than sprout above
ground. Deep cultivation frequently
does harm in disturbing the roots Of the
plants grown as q crop. -
