Glover as a Horse Feed.

One great objection to clover as a
horse feed Is the fact that it is fire.
Quently not cut in time and becomes
dusty. The formation of the plant is

more substance than timothy and this
Is important in a horse feed, as the
stomach of the horse is smaller than
that of some other farm animals.
But when clover is fed to horses 1t
cannot be given in as great quantities
as can timothy. One of the advan-
tages in feeding timothy has been
that the horse could be fed more than
he would eat and then not eat so
much as to injure him. That was be.
cause the same bulk contains less sub
stance than does clover. Thus. the
scientific feeder knows that he must
be careful as to the amount of clover
hay fed, just as he would be careful
of the concentrates fed. He would
not think Of giving the horse an un-
limited supply of grain of any kind.
How much to feed is a problem that
must be worked out by the horse own.

Bran and Oats,

A mixture of bran and oats

any kind of farm animals. Out
of these two come strong muscles and

as corn and as a stock feed are far
superior to 1t. For growing horses
this feed is to be strongly recon-.

A stunted colt is about sure

who took the position that the railroad
would be built thru the town any way
and that it was useless to offer any
inducement to the road to build thru
Radcliffe. After a number of meet

bulk were sold only on a basis level

The Sheep Situation.

Chicago, May 29.--Few well-posted
men in the trade here believe that
prices for sheep and lambs will again
this season average as high as one
week ago Monday Then shorn western
wethers and native ewes alike brought
$3.50, wooded Colorado lambs landed
at $775, and clipped Mexican lambs
reached sos, these prices standing
the highest of the year to date.
Since the above day bulk of sheep
declined 40@ soc and lambs lost $50
60c This sudden and sharp slump in
the market was a logical one, as sup
plies proved larger than expected, and
besides the dressed mutton market
here as well as in the east failed to
follow the sharp advance liz prices for
stock on hoof.
1t is the claim of slaughterers that
even under the above lower range con-
sumptive demand is not normal and
this is reflected in the dressed mutton
market failing to show any improve
ment over the wretched condition into
which it declined almost a fortnight
ago.
There is little fear among sellers that
prices for dry-lot lambs will be car
ried much lower, as it is estimated
there are hardly more than $4,000
lambs left in the feed lots adjacent to
Chicago and St. Paul, while the num-
Der to come from Michigan and Min
nesota should not be large enough to
depress the market if such are sent
in a conservative way. Prospects for
sheep are regarded hardly as bright

would not surprise the trade to see
still further break in the market con-
servative marketing in that line is re-
garded necessary as Well.
