One man with horticultural accom-
plishments is turning his knowledge
to account these days In a move way.
He poses as a flower doctor. Patients
are secured by securing the streets
where house plants are displayed in
the windows and Offering to treat those
that present a faded appearance.
Il see" he says to the woman who
comes to the door. that your plants
are not up to the mark. Most house
plants have a ragged look In the
spring. These are very fine plants,
and II would be a shame to lose them.
With a little attention given them be-
fore they are too far gone they can
be braced up and made as vigorous
as ever
Nine times out OF ten the man gains
permission to examine the plants. No
body knows just what he does to them.
To all appearances he doesn't do much
OF anything. He picks Off a yellow
leaf here. punches a twig there, and
pokes the earth some place else. and
thus ends the treatment.
For each professional call the man
gets 10 or 10 cents, according to the
generosity of the householder. Some
times he heals as many as twenty
of flowers a day. which at least

BRoILERs NEED WARMTH


The broiler season, when in fur
sway, calls to mind the advice that
many of those who raise broilers will
lose quite few by not keeping them
warm. OF course, the broilers need
fresh air. but there is doubt as to
whether they need an artificial ven
tilation during cold weather, as it is
next to impossible to keep the FRESH
air from creeping in somewhere. Air
is important, but have as your motto
Keep the chicks warm" and there is
every reason to believe that you will
succeed in raising goodly lot of them
Most of the poultry books give the
temperature at which the houses
should be kept. but believe the chicks
know best and have always let then
be their own thermometer. Wher
they huddle up together they need
more heat. and when they look drowsy
and appear to have no ambition in
life they are too warm.

THE WATERING OF HORSES.

The question as to the best time
for watering horses is often asked, and
is answered in a number of different
ways according to the individual opin-
ions of the authority consulted. Many
feeders believed that horses should
be watered before feeding, while
others are equally certain that feed
ing should precede watering. c. b.
Langworthy, in a. very useful bulle-
tin, entitled Principles of Horse
Feeding" summarizes the results OIL
some recent experiments which he be-
lieves have reached the truth of the
matter.
The rations fed consisted of differ
emit mixtures of corn, oats, hay and
straw, and a number of experiments
were made, in which the only condI-
ton that varied was the time OF water
ing. In some of the tests the horses
drank before and in some after eat
ing, and in others after the grain por-
ton of the ration was eaten, but before
the hay.
So far as was observed, the time of
drinking had no effect on the digesti-
bility of a ration of grain and hay.
When hay only was fed there seemed
"a slight advantage in watering before
feeding. The general conclusion was
drawn that horses may be watered be-
fore, during or after meals without
interfering with the digestion and abb
sorption of food. All these methods
of watering are equally good for the
horse. and each of them may be en-
ployed according to circumstances. 1t
is obvious that certain circumstances
may make it necessary to adopt one
or the other method. For instance,
after severe loss of water, such as
occurs in consequence of long contin-
ued, severe exertion, the animal should
always be allowed to drink before he
Is fed, as otherwise he will not feed
WE'LL
1t has been found that less water is
required when the ration consists
largely of concentrated feed than
when large amounts of coarse fodder
are consumed. and II is a matter of
common observation that less water Is
consumed when greei, succrlent feeds
