Alfalfa and Timothy for Horses.

In comparing alfalfa and timothy as
roughage for horses. the. results of six tests.
under varying conditions OF work. show that
II IL not difficult to maintain the weight Of
horses on alfalfa as timothy.
The appearance of the horses In every
comparison Of alfalfa and timothy was In ia
vor Of the alfalfa fod horse.
No Ill results were noted on the health OF
the horses by l0ng-continued alfalfa feed
Ing. Attacks OF collie and other digestive
disorders can be prevented by judicious sys-
TEN Of feeding. The amount of hay fed on
most farms could DO reduced at least one
half,
Twenty pounds Of alfalfa a day maintain
the weight of horses weighing nearly l.f00
pounds when at rest. At heavy work. 1892
pounds OF alfalfa q day was barely SUFFICIENT
10 maintain the weight of the same horses.
II Is evident that there Ii a tendency to
use all the protein when horses are fed
timothy, and no apparent waste OF nitrogen
when fed alfalfa.
Musty hay OF any kind should not be fed
II Il can be avoided. But II II must be fed
shake out all the dut possible and moisten
the hay.

on this plan, we have relegated the grapes

Facts for Farm Wives.

Clean dry quarters are needed for health
umIncr and winter.
No fowl or lot Of fowls will eat or require
the same amount OF feed each meal.
People who have failed at everything they
have undertaken should not try the poultry
business.
Insect deprcdations are like weeds. They
can be kept In check by preventing their
getting a start.
For the good Of the flock remove any fowl
that shows any sign Of being sick. even II
the ailment Is slight.
The first step in starting with poultry
should be to make sure OF an ample supply
Of green feed for every day In the year.
Nearly every person who goes into the
poultry business has great visions Of gold
and fame many 70 out with n thin purse
and disgust.
The strictly healthy fowl does not have
bowel complaint: lOoseness OF the bowels In
fowls Is simply an indication of indigestion
or arrangement OF the digestive organs.
Shut up the henhOuse occasionally az tight
AZ possible and burn some sulphur In II.
The fumes will reach every crack and crew
ice. and be death TO vernin hidden there.
There Is no food or corrective. In the way
OF a digestive. that equals charcoal. 1t Is
easily had. because various forms OF the
article may be made by the poultry raiser
himself.
Do not ~overfeed your fowls that have free
range. they will pick mp the larger part OF
their living from weed seeds, scattered
