A firm Of English millers have made
an interesting test of the comparative
cost OF hauling grain by horses or by
steam motors. The cost of keeping
seven horses for the year was about
$500. At the end Of 1902 they sold
the horses and purchased five-ton
steam machine, ran 1t 5,275 miles, car
rled 1876 tons, and burned Az tons
of coal at a total cost Of $3.50, show
ing decided gain for the steam ma
chine.

Horses should be watered before
their grain feed. This story has been
put to the experimental test. A horse
was fed with four quarts Of whole
oats. and Immediately after given
water to drink. Soon after the horse
was killed and opened. Scarcely
quart Of oats was found swimming
In the water in, the stomach, the re-
naming three quarts having been
forced by the water into the intestines.
Another horse was given water first,
and then about four quarts Of oats.
Fifteen minutes after this horse was
slaughtered, and the entire quantity
Of oats was found in the stomach, and
already digestion was setting in.
Horses require more water in hot
weather than in cold, and more when
at work than when idle. Horses at
full work should be watered frequent

Soda for Potatoes.

In growing tomatoes nitrogen in the
soil is the least desired of the plant
foods and the best results will come
from phosphoric acid and potash liber-
ally applied broadcast. Much has been
written regarding the use of nitrate Of
soda for tomato growing and while
this chemical is good, 1t should be
used with caution. Its function Is to
cause the plant to make quick
growth; in other words give it Il
start which will be kept up by the
phosphoric acid and tho potash.
This being the case the best way to
use 1t is to watch the plants closely
as they grow and if any shows lack
Of vigor sprinkle teaspoonful of the
nitrate of soda about the plant. Us
ually one application will be sufficient
to start such plants off in good shape
and~ence they get good. start there
will be no trouble>if the soil has been
properly enriched and proper cultivas
