Dairying has not yet made very
great progress at the South. People
that have been south know how DIFF
hcult 1t is to get cream at even the
best hotels. This shows q lack both
in the general public and in the pro-
ducers. The one does not strongly
demand the products of the cow and
the other does not try to produce the

can be educated in Its use. Reading

Nutrition Of tn. Horse.

Horses. like other animals, require
a DEFINITE amount OF nutrients per
1000 pounds of live weight for main
tenance. To this must be added an
extra amount for muscular work. this
amount being dependent ON the
amount and intensity of the labor per-
formed. This extra food must consist
largely OF energy producing COM
ponents such AZ the starches. There
should be at least one-sixth as much
protein As Of starchy matter,
The ration Of the horse should con-
sist OF both concentrated feeds and
coarse fodder. Concentrates alone are
too compact and IL roughage alone il
fed the horse cannot consume enough
Of it to produce the nutrition required.
A horse fed on roughage can get along
all right 20 long as he Is not required
to work. but II hard work IL required
OF him he has not the energy to per-
form what he is expected to. All the
whipping In the world will not force
him to the performance of labor abova
his strength.
A hard working horse should re.
ceive the same weight of concentrated
foods as Of bulky foods. This rule IL
a general one, and is, of course, modi-
fed according to circumstances. For
instance. 1t might not hold good II .
large quantity of the coarse feed con-
sisted Of very green corn. because that
would be too heavy with water.
In many parts Of the United States
we fnd that corn Is being fed largely
as the single grain ration of horses.
This Is true not only of the corn belt.
but even Of the New England states.
where corn las to be imported from
the West. But in the corn belt corn
Is fed to an extreme. The general ad-
vice to modify this ration by the feed
ing OF more oats is good one. There
is no grain that is perhaps 10 useful
In the feeding of horses as oats. A
man that has q large supply of corn
can afford to sell some Of 1t and buy
oats. NO matter what the price Of Eats
may be.

Dairy Idols,

Cows become favorites with their
owners not altogether by reason Of
the milk they produce. We have
known cows that their owners thought
a great deal of because of the kindly
disposition Of the animals. One COW
that the writer remembers gave but
few quarts of milk day. but she
was a pet of the family. She would
prefer the company of members of
the family rather than of other cows.
II the cows were being taken to pas
ture she would insist on walking by
the side OF the one in charge of the
herd. It is hard to order COW Of this
kind sent to the butcher. and many
people will not do II. Instead. the ami
mails ara kept for = dozen years and
not only allowed to eat up the prov.
ender without returning q compen-
sation for II, but are allowed to add
to the herd more cows after their own
ability not to produce milk. These
may fairly be called dairy idols. Their
owners claim great things for them
without being able to substantiate the
truth of what they say.
ous tAo Anhhy pet 10 not tno only
brand Of dairy idol. There are the
general purpose cows that quite gen.
orally have the entire confidence of
their owners as to their great value.
They are idols that the single purpose
COW men have demolished again and
again, to their own satisfaction, but
they are still to be found all over the
land.
The dairy idol Is q thing that can be
dispensed with to the advantage Of
the owners Of the COWS. The war
fare against them will be kept up, and
little by little the factors we are war
ring against will disappear 1t may,
however, take about as long to elm
mate them as 1t took Christianity to
drive the idols out OF the pagan world.
