hungry not to eat as long as he could

hcrse last Christmas and he was at the

to eat. while heard his owner say that
lie did not make much feed last year.
and that he was not going to pay SD

goes as rule, TX horses are allowed to

owners are not apt to make enough
feed by working such horses to he able
to feed the stock the next winter.
There Is no better way of debiliting
q horse, or team than to start out in
he year by working the team hard
every day and then allowing the ani-
mails to depend upon grass alone for
their support.
Unless the pasture Is very good. and

The poor. half fed animals are the
one that not only suffer themselves for
food, but they cause their owner to SUI
fer as they are never anything but an

cause they want IT, their system calls
for 1t, and they not only need 1t, but
often suffer from the lack of such food
during grass season.
Take the human being for example.
| We are fond OF fresh vegetables during
the summer seasons, but we also want
our bread and meat. 1t is much easier
to keep a horse in order by a little
| judgment and regular feeding than it
| is to get him to improve after lie has
once gotten poor and weak. Remember
| this and do not let your farm teams get
poor from overwork and lack OF at
tention simply to save feed. when by

creasing your expense account, instead
OF saving money. Grass is a splendid
tonic. all growing stock should be turn.

enough for them in the spring, and as

never be allowed to depend upon grass
