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

We should always remember tina!
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 hulls 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 small portion Of the hay
formerly consumed. On the other
hand, it furnishes to the horse proba-
bly, three-fifths or three-fourths as
much nutriment as the same weight of
oats. In using gluten feed, remeE-
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 il limit, however, to
its use. and in such cases as these the
supply should not be large. For one
feed each day allow a 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. It is a better winter than
summer food. Corn is q 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 viii!
usually prove more economical and
better than to feed either so exclusive

TIME ron WEAVING COLTS.
How to Ering tho Foals Through .
Serious Period Of Existence
with Perfect Success.

The season for ssweaning 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 1t will learn to depend upon the
feed rather than upon its mothers milk.
Under such conditions there will be
much less fpss 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.
It will be well, too, to have the colt
halter-broken before it Is taken away
from its mother. At no time can it DO
more readily taught to stand died or to
lead than when by the side of the dam.
Even IL the colt Is to run loose in a shed
or box during the winters until it is old
enough to work, the 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 its 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 a 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.

Mr.. Dobbins, postmaster in the art OF

house or two, then with few other
kindred spirits, sat about table at the
hotel, and just drank, drank, drank. Mr..
Dobbins kept constantly at the side OF
Mr.. Debevoise, and kept up flow OF
conversation that was remarkable.
"Higginson," remarked Mr.. Dobbins
to himself, may know how to make
money, but certainly know how 10
spend it, all right, all right
Mr.. Debevoise was not altogether at
ease. Something seemed. from time to
time, to trouble him. He was trying
evidently not to forget himself. But
.Dobbins was constantly on hand with q
fresh order and fresh sally, and u mer-
ry burst of laughter which attracted Mr..
Debevoise's attention from whatever he
may have had in mind.
Once he took out note book. IL

II must not forget business" he said.
But he did forget business. He forgot
everything. 1t was after five o'clock in

table and he fell asleep. Mr.. Dobbins,
who had drunk sparingly during the
evening, but who, nevertheless, was
weary, called a hotel porter,

he spoke aloud to the porter. PORTER"
he said, this gentleman and I are due

eight o'clock. Can you get us rig?"
East Monroe, as Dobbins had found
from inquiry the night before, was a
small deserted village far up the noun

have some difficulty, considering every

THE UNITED STATES WILL soon
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOE WHEAT.
A Crop Of 100000 Bushels Of
Wheat Will Be the Record
Of 1904.

The results of the threshing in
Western Canada are not, yet COM
pleted, but from Information at hand,
it is safe to say that the average per
acre will be reasonably high, and a
fair estimate will place the total yield
of wheat at 100000 bushels. At pres
ent prices this will add to the wealth
of the farmers nearly $60,000,OOO. Then
think of the immense yield Of oats and
barley and the large herds of cattle,
for all of which good prices will be-
paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister Of the Interior, to Lord strath-
coma. High Commissioner for Can

and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from fifty-f1ve to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good, and the
price is ranging around one dollar per

Frank H. Spearman, in the Saturday
Evening Post, says

railroad was built, learned men at

was projected; but the real granary Of
the world lies up to 300 miles north
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors Of Canada for it's bread. Rail-
road men see such day; 1t may be
hoped that statesmen also will see It,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do SO gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to degree have taken

Valuable Points in Flowing.

Farmers use the cultivator for plow;
that is, they cultivate deep, with the OBJ
ject of loosening tn soil between the
rows. If the ground is to be broken up
the pillow is the thing to do it with, bu,

be allowed to grow to height to de-

slept. At East Monroe the driver woke
Dobbins, and, as DebevOise still slept.
they carried him gently into the village
tavern and put him carefully to bed.
Then the carriage turned around and
went back home. "Now," whispered
Dobbins to himself. as he sat beside the
PROSTATE form of Debevoise in the little
room, now I've got to keep awake, to
see that he keeps asleep" Twice did De-
bevoise start up somewhat wildly, his
hand on his notebook, and cry that he
must attend to business. But Dobbins
religiously piled him with the cup that
cheers and inebriates as we'll, and he
dropped off once more. All that day
Debevoise slept, and all that day Dob
bins watched. At dusk the landlord
called Dobbins down to the telephone.
Higginson was at the other end of the
wire. He had found out at Donaldson
that they had climbed the noun tainside.
"You can come down now" he said
to Dobbins. ''just as soon as you like.
Good-by." Then he rang of. Dobbins
went back to Debevoise with a broad
grin on his face.
Hey, old man." he said, wake up.
You've got some business to transact.
Don't forget that you've got to go down
to P B. Hathaway's."
Debevoise stretched his arms above
his head and yawned.
