Work HnrRRH.

In writing ON this subj CT 10 attempt
will bb made to fnrninn the tabu ated
h6ur OF actual experiments or other
absolute proof for any theory presented.
The conclusions reached COME from ex
perience rather than experiments.
While conclusions based upon observa
ton occasionally may be misleading. 1t
is also true that carefully worked onte1-
periments along certain systems Of horse
feeding may be even more misleading.
This would not be the Case were the i'm
mediate gain In flesh the only obi set
sought, as it is in feeding the hog or
steer for market.
For instance. 1t can readily BE seen
that in the early summer the feeding of
a considerable quantity of grass to
horse instead of certain part of the
dry food might materially lessen his
energy and power to endure protracted
hard labor for the time being.
Nevertheless, it will be generally con.
ceded that the grass fed horse will, dur
ing his life time, be able to perform much
more labor than the one kept continually
on dry feed. such as oats and hay
Experiments conducted with reference
to the comparative value of these feeds
would on the contrary doubtless show
many points in favor of the dry fed
horse.
THE DRIVER,
too, has much TO do with the condition of
the farm work horse-eveD more so than
the feeder. Especially is this the case
with the horse of considerable spirit.
The writer has known drivers who with
certain horses, could do double the work
that another could accomplish with
them while keeping them in the same
condition on the same rations. The man.
ner of watering horses also is highly I'M
portant, as regards the time he gets it
and the amount given. We're the horse
allowed to be the judge of the former we
would not need to regulate the latter.
Although certain experiments have
shown that there is not SO much gain
in watering before feeding as was sup
posed, nevertheless. we would insist up
on watering before feeding. even when
the horse comes in warm from the field
in the summer months We would, of
course, regulate the quantity drink, and
not allow 1t freshly drawn from the we'll
as pailful or more of very cold water
might be dangerous, whereas If taken
from the tank. such as is found on
most farms, there would be no danger
of affecting the stomach or causing
spasmodic contraction of the bowels.
In this connection it should be re.
membered that the digestive organs of
the horse are much more delicate than
those of any other animal. The cold
water can well be given while the horse
is at his work and even when warm, if
he is kept at work and less than a pail
is allowed, which will prove refreshing
and cooling and enable him to drink ad
libitum when he goes in for the noon or
evening meals. We have found 1t a
very favorable sign when a horse is a
good drinker. A shy drinker is seldom
good doer, and this. we have found, is
especially true of stations.
PREVENTING collie
We do not agree with some writers as
to varying the amounts fed at the three
different meals, such, ss, for instance,
emitting the noon grain ration entirely
or feeding double the amount at night
that is fed at the morning or noon meal

horse, on account of the peculiar con-
struction of his digestive apparatus, can
advantsgeousy be fed oftener and in rel
atively smaller quantities than other
farm animals.
This seems reasonable therefore it is
inadyisable to reduce the number of
feeds TO less than three day-or TO in
crease the amount at one time, for, If a
double ration of grain is fed at night,
the liability to collie is greatly increased,
and that at time when no assistance is
at hand.
And is it not a fact that the bulk of
the collie cases occur in the night time?
The explanation is, we think, partly that
the horse eats more at night, as a mile,
having plenty of time and abundance of
fodder before him, and partly that 1t is
not exercising Also We are very sure,
few, if any, horses capable of properly
digesting food, are unable to thoroughly
digest one.third of the days grain ration
In five or six hours, even when at hard
work
STANDARD RATIoNs.
Approximately ten pounds of oats, five
pounds of corn, and three pounds OF bran,
divided into three equal feeds, make a
days ration that cannot be much i'm
proved on. The relative amount of corn
can well be increased during the winter
months, and for sake of variety il may
be omitted at the morning meal and fed
at noon.
The weight fed at each meal should be
kept about the same, and for the even
ing meal crushed oats should, when pos
sible, be substituted for the whole grain,
along with the bran and few handfuls
of cut hay, fed wet and sailed enough to
render it palatable. Horses some become
very fond of this food and this alone aids
digestion.
Sixteen pounds would be fair amount
of hay per day, the largest portion of
course naturally being consumed at
night. Would prefer clover hay If IN per
feet condition. The reason clover hay is
in bad repute for feeding work horses,
we think, is because horses are allowed
altogether too much of it, they being
very fond of it.
We have not forgotten the remarks
made In regard to grass in the frat part
of this article, and would by no means
during the early grazing season, and dur
ing the hot summer months turn out

THE FLYER IS
WRECKED
Through Train From Winnipeg to St.
Paul Run Into An Open Switch Last
Night About 1O:3O-Track Not
Cleared mt Late Hour.

Last evening the Great Northern
fast train from Winnipeg to st. Paul
was wrecked at FELTON,, Mimi, just
south of Crookston at 1920 o'clock.
The train was going at a high rate of
speed and "a switch turned after the
engine had passed over and derailed
three coaches. The forward portion
of the train hung to the rails on the
main line, while the rear coaches ran
onto the switch. The train was
stretched from one track to the other
and badly tore up the rails and ties.
While the coaches were somewhat dis
figured and the passengers badly shak-
en- up, there were no serious injuries
and the passengers proceeded on a
train made up which came from the
south.
While a large crew of men were at
work on the track, at 10 o'clock this
morning they had succeeded in get
ting but one of the coaches back on
the track, the forward sleeper and two
day coaches having left the track, and
at a late hour this afternoon the
wrecked coaches were not yet back on
the track.
Train No. 5, which runs by Crooks
ton, came around by Fargo this morn
ing.
