100 worth in bingham Pottiooats
&c, &c, 60, &c.
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-11-26

Problems connected with the feed
ing of work horses are doubtless of as
wide interest as any problems in
livestock management. Practically
all farmers. whatever particular
branch of farming they may be en-
gagged In. have occasion to feed work
horses. Besides farmers, commercial
firms of various classes keep horses
In large numbers for work purposes
and they. too. have a deep interest in
methods of feeding that will lessen
the cost of maintaining work horses
without decreasing their efficiency.
Whether feeds are high or low in
price. it is well worth while for feed
ers to exercise great care in the Sc
lection of rations, so as to use the
ones that are most efficient and eco
nomical. With the present exceeding
ly high market prices for all kinds of
grain feeds, 1t is especially important
that judicious selection of feeds be
made, for much waste may result If
attention is not given to this phase of
stable management.
On account of the widespread pre-
Judice against corn and in favor of
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-11-26

that ear-corn is to be preferred above
shelled corn for work horses.
Farm animals should be fed accord
ing to their needs. Their needs de-
pend, of course, upon the product that
they yield. Work horses are kept for
applying energy and should be sup
piled with feeds that will furnish the
required energy at the least possible
cost, all things considered.
There is a wide difference in the
efficiency of horses in utilizing feed.
This is well illustrated by the record
OF the horse Tom used In this expert
ment. There is an individuality" in
work horses as we'll as in other farm
animals. Horses that are notably hard
to keep in good condition should be
replaced by ones that may be main
tanned at less cost.
The data presented do not prove
that. for use with pure timothy hay,
ear-corn is as efficient, pound for
pound. as oats. Neither is any evil
dence at hand to indicate that grain
ration made up exclusively of corn Is
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-11-26

presented heretofore. It must be un-
derstood that the horses were mature
geldings and that mixed clover and
timothy hay was fed.
The corn-fed horses endured hard
work during hot weather as well as
did the oats-fed horses.
The use of-corn to the exclusion of
other grain for period of As weeks
was not detrimental to the health of
work horses.
The use of corn for work horses did
not induce laziness and lack of en-
durance. Neither did the use of oats
induce increased spirit and endurance.
When mixed (clover and timothy
hay was fed to mature geldings at
general farm work, ear-corn was prac.
tically as efficient, pound for pound,
as oats.
On the basis of the results Of this
experiment and statistical records OF
farm values of grains, corn has, since
1866, been cheaper than oats as a
grain feed for work horses.
The drop in weight of the corn-fed
horses, coincident with the beginning
of the use of shelled corn, indicates
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-11-26

oats. an experiment, from which it is
hoped that. definite data may be Sc
cured in regard to this important sub
ject, has been undertaken at the Ohio
station. The plan of this work calls
for a longtime superintendent one of
a few days or weeks duration, but
one that will continue for a number
Of years.
The work was begun in the spring
of 1907, and the results of the expert
ment up to the present time are so
striking that it has been thought best
to give them to the public at once
with the understanding that further
work is being done along this line and
that there is a possibility of different
results being secured later.
The horses used In the first 48
weeks of this experiment were six
mature grade Percheron geldings, be-
longing to the department of agron-
omy of the station and used for gem
eral farm and team work. In age, the
horses ranged at the beginning of the
experiment. from seven to eight years
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-11-26

old. The two horses of each team are
of approximately the same age, how
ever. While there are some differ
ences In the conformation, size and
disposition of the various horses they
are fairly uniform lot. In order to Sc
cure an accurate comparison Of oats
and corn one horse in each OF the
three teams is fed oats. while the 9TH
ers receive corn. With the exception
Of very few days the two horses
which comprised a team were. for 4S
weeks, worked together; that is, it
was very unusual for one horse of a
team to work while the horse was
icle; this assures an equal amount of
labor being performed by each horse
in a given team and. therefore. per-
mits direct comparison of the two
feeds. The following statements,
based upon the work done thus far,
seem to be warranted by the data

suitable for brood mares with foal or
in milk. or for young. growing horses.
When the weights of the horses for
the year previous to the experiment
are compared with the weights se-
cured during the experiment, it is seen
that the exclusive use of either corn
or oats has not had any bad effect
upon the horses. There is no positive
proof, however, that a mixed ration
would not be more efficient than one
made up exclusively of corn or OF oats.
This experiment does show, neverthe.
less. that corn is valuable feed for
work horses and should be given a
large place in their rations, whenever
market conditions warrant its use.

italian Lovers Vengeance Aided by a

Giuseppe Serao. a workman. aged 25.

Italy. for burglary in which he was
implicated and sentenced to four
months Imprisonment.
He spent the first part of his i'm
prisonment in counting the days until
his release. when he would be married
to his sweetheart. who had sworn that
she would never forsake him.
But one day the jailer told him that
the marriage bapus Of the girl and an
other man had Deen published.
Serao was terribly upset. and de-
clared that he would rather see the
girl dead than married to epyone else.

Serao swore solmenly that he would
not tarry an instant longer than was
necessary for the deed, and the jailer

Serao returned to prison a couple
