Hay on Church Floor.

A curious custom is annually observ-
ed ut Old Neston church on st. Swith-
ms day. The church is dedicated to
st. Swithin, and on festival day the
church is strewn with hay. Many
years ago some donor left a field to
provide money for bread which is dis
trfbuted four times year. The tenant
of the field has to supply the hay to
strew the church. The custom is sup
posed to have originated from the fact
that on festival Sunday the parishion-
ers wear new boots. and the idea of the
donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
footwear-London Standard.

Deer,

Deer will eat almost any kind of
grain or grass, even preferring the
rankest weeds to the choicest hay.
They should always have an abundant
supply of clear, running water. About
the greatest item of expense connected
with raising deer is the cost Of fenc-
ing. The fawns are usually born in
the spring or early summer. Does, as
a rule, have but one fawn at first, but
subsequently twins are born and In
rare cases triplets.-Kansas City Star

Useful instrument For Dairymen

A small silver, nickel plated or hard
rubber tube is sometimes used to draw
the milk from a sore teat and is a
useful instrument to have on the dairy
farm. 1t is simply inserted into the
milk channel. when most of the milk
will run out without any squeezing or
sucking. But it should be used with
great care so as not to injure the teat

Feeding Wheat to Horses.
Owing to the very high price of corn
and oats many farmers have since har-
vest been feeding wheat to their
horses. Wheat is about the poorest of
all the grains as horse feed, not on &C.
count Of its lack of nutritive qualities,
but by reason Of the fact that 1t
forms pasty mass in the equine stom-
ach. Consequently IL 1t is not fed
with great care In limited amounts
and with an adequate supply of some
much lighter material it is apt to in
duce digestive troubles. Wheat should
never be fed whole to horses. 1t is
always better to sell the wheat and
buy some other grein. when that can
be done, even IL a small loss is entailed
in the process. But when such an ex.
change cannot be effected the wheat
should be rolled. coarsely ground or
soaked and fed with plentiful supply
of cut or chaffed hay.
