Horse Has a Limit,

A ace horse cannot bide its time
for making good, yet they, like men,
have their off days, lose physical form,
get off their feed, become muscle sore
often through lack of proper care, lose
their ambition, and temporarily be.
come discouraged and fail to race up
to standard form. Some horses. like
a great many men, are softhearted and
cannot stand a grief. But as a general
rule a horse which races gamely one
week will do so the neAt and keep on
doing 1t If its physica! condition re.
mains the same; but no horse will or
can race when not in physical condi.
ton. Nor a a horse come back the

or the next year and surpass a prevl.

of some of the northern breeding

Ike Timothy Best.

Horses prefer timothy cut when the
seed is well formed. but not fully
ripe. AS this class Of stock is I'm.
favorably affected by laxative feeds,
late cut timothy is also preferred for
them. on account OF Its favorable eff.
feet on the digestive tract. In the
case of cattle, laxative feed is rather
to be preferred. Cattle also relish
timothy when it is cut rather green.
Hence, for cattle, timothy should be
cut about the time 1t is in blossom.
Any time from a day OF two before
the first bloom till a day or two after
the second bloom will answer. The
yield will be slightly larger at the
later stage.
