This fall there are a good many
farmers who want to get rid Of their
hogs and sell their corn without count
ing the cost Of hauling the corn to
market, says ]. NJ. Jamison in National
Stockman, nor do they put any value
on the manure the corn will make If
fed on the farm. These two factors
often put the balance In favor OF feed
ing on the farm, and they are factors
that the business farmer cannot afford
to ignore. Close observation for many
years will convince any man that the
men who fatten hogs every year from
grain grown on the farm, the hogs also
being home grown. are successful
farmers, especially when swine grow
ing is their speciality On the other
hand, the farmers who change when
prospects are as unfavorable as they
are this fall are not the successful
ones in their swine feeding operations.

TEE HORSCMAN

Under no circumstances allow a colt
to be turned out to rough the winter
and receive no grain. 1t is bad prac-
tice and not a profitable one in the
end. There is a period of life allotted
to growth and development, and if nu-
triment is deprived at tbs time it can
never be compensated By any amount
Of after care and tree tnent.
The Horse That Pays.
The horse that is always ready for
his meals is the one tat earns his
board.
Greedy Feeding Horses.
In some cases hose; G.. grain too
greedily and on this account fail to get
the proper benefit from it, says Amer
lean Cultivator. It's habit can be
somewhat corrected IL a number Of
simple ways. In all such cases there
should be a large bottom to the oat
box, SO that the grain will be spread
out thinly and the chances for great
mOuthful reduced. A good plan is to
place a number of smooth stones about
the size Of hens egg in the bottom
Of the box, and in turning these over
and searching among them for the
feed the horse will give himself more
time for properly chewing what he al
ready has in his mouth.
When the Horse Is Tired.
Young horses sometimes come in
from the mornings work tired out and
will not eat fair sized meal in the
time Of the ordinary noon rest. It is
especially important in such a case
that water, not too cold, be allowed
before feeding. This will freshen up
the colt a great DEAL
The Horses Teeth.
Sometimes horses seem to be slow
eaters and give very little satisfaction
when put to hard work. Some of them
eat enough, but they fail to properly
masticate their feed and are in conse-
quence liable to indigestion, collie and
poorness Of condition. In many cases
this is due to bad state Of the teeth.
A little observation as to the way in
which a horse masticates its food, to-
gether with an investigation of the
teeth themselves, should soon tell any
farmer whether or not his horses mo-
lars require attention.
