they can be attached and suspended to
the side Of the horses head. This does
not give the horse any freedom to
move his head without moving the
bag also. A Philadelphia man has pat
ented an exceedingly simple feed bag
which overcomes this fault, an illustra-
ton Of which is shown here. The bot
tom and sides are made Of canvas or
other flexible material, while the top
consists Of a circular frame divided
into two sections, which are connected
by small loops. Supporting the bag
are two metal rods, one on each side,
having hooks at the end which At into
the loops in the frame. In the center
and at the other end Of the rods are
circular loops which are shaped to fit
over the shaft Of the vehicle. 1t can
easily be seen how easily this could
be done, the bag always remaining in
position where the horse could con-
veniently reach the feed, at the same
time being able to move his head free
ly. This feed bag has the additional
advantage that it can be folded up
when not in use.

Work and Play for Horses.

Work and Play for Horses.
What the horses Of the farm have to
do depends upon the nature of the
work and how we'll used they are to
1t, consequently the horse should be
treated accordingly. If the horses have
heavy spring blowing to do, with more
or less road work in the summer, then
harvesting and more blowing In the
fall, and it Is intended to use them for
heavy drafting In the winter 1t Will
pay to divide the work In some way
SO that they will have a little chance
for rest. The argument that rainy
days and Sundays are sufficient for
the animals does not hold good in all
cases. In our experience we find 1t
pays to have reasonably short hours
for the horses, and not to give them
driving every day there happens to be
a little lull in the work Of the farm.
We feed strictly in accordance with
the work to be done, and cOntrive, In
some way, so that every horse will
have turn at the pasture, even though
it be only an hour or two at night 1t
is not good plan to attempt to carry
the horses through from year to year
without the pasture. Green food cut
and placed in the manger is not tho
same. The open air, the freedom from
the harness, the yielding Of the soft
turf and the biting Of the grass are
essential to horses, and it pays to let
them have q spell at it.

Peanuts Good HOG Feed.

The numerous estimates made by
the Arkansas Station as regards the
yield Of hay from a crop Of peanuts
varies from one to very nearly three
tons per acre. This hay is usually
worth at least $40 ton and may be
considered by-product when the nuts
are harvested for market. In connec-
ton with the value of peanuts as a
forage crop, it may be noted that in
Virginia there is a man who has been
accommodating a tidy fortune through
the quality of the hams cured and
packed by him. Those hams have
rich and sweet flavor which makes
them in great demand at increased
prices. The packer each year goes
through neighboring States buying up
razorbacks which he has shipped to
his farm. It Is there that they are
given d food which tmparts the flavor

Hog Hints.
It Is, Of course, the most important
factor in hog life, but very close to
1t comes the dry house and good, clean

It is too common a conclusion that
anything will do for the hogs and that
they will wax fat under any condi-
lions and with all sorts of feed.
It is taken for granted that they get
enough to eat, because every farmer
knows what It means to feed right.
