HOW TO HELP THE HORSE

If your horse comes into the stable
warm and tired, feed him no grain for
at least an hour.
1t is much better to give a horse a
small qauntity of water when he comes
hot from the field, and an hour later
give him all he can drink.
! The floor of the hay loft should be
seed and dust tight. Horses are often
injured by seeds and dirt falling into
their ears and eyes.
Scrape the dried sweat from the COLI
lars every day and keep them smooth
and pliable.
A horse cannot rest well lying down
in a narrow stall.
Stalls should not be boarded up more
than four feet from the ground. Put a
grating or heavy wire netting above
that point as high as you please.
Place the windows in front of the
stall at least three feet above the
horses head The sun should not shine
directly into his eyes.
A considerate man will not swear at
his horses any more than he would
swear at his hired man.
Sponging horses eyes, face and
nose three or four times day during
hot weather is refreshing and very
beneficial.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1909-10-30
CARE OF WINTER VEGETABLES

Do not store away any unsound or
bruised fruit or vegetables, as they will
soon decay and cause all those next to
them to go the same way.
Bury Irish potatoes on we'll drained
spot. Cover with wheat straw about
six inches deep, put on four inches Of
dirt (earth) and let this freeze lightly,
then cover with six or eight inches of
rough, strawy. stable manure. AS soon
as this gets wet and freezes put on six
inches more earth and pat it down
smooth. This is for potatoes for seed
and table use next spring before early
potatoes come again.
They will keep better than If kept in
cold storage plant.
Place beets, carrots, satisfy, turnips
and a few parsnips in barrels. First
put in two or three inches of garden
soil, any mellow earth will do. then a
layer of vegetables and so till the bar
rel is full or all are in. Place the barrel
in a moderately warm cellar. A slight
freeze will not hurt them.
Turn the cabbages up side down
leaving the roots on, and cover the
heads with earth about four inches
leaving the roots sticking out, and they
will keep fine in this way.

OUR BOG WEALTH

Statistics show that there are enough
unclaimed swamp lands within Uncle
sam s domain to make nearly 5000, 900
Farms of 100 acres each.
placed side by side they would
make a tract large enough to include
all OF the New England states, New
York and New Jersey.
Florida alone could almost cover
South Carolina with her Everglades
and kindred tracts.
Louisiana could blot out Delaware
and Maryland and have a good margin
to spare. The swamps of Minnesota
Michigan and Wisconsin combined
would cover nearly one third of either
OF the two last named states.
Those of Maine equal almost halt
the area of Massachusetts.
Since 1T is cheaper to drain than tn
irrigate, and the cost of perpetuatine
the improvement is but slight. the fact
that drainage is now one of the prom
inent questions before congress is moi
strange.
The west has been given a new i'm
petus through irrigation and it has
added much to the nations wealth
Maine and Florida, Minnesota and
Louisiana are now presenting thei,
needs for help, their possibilities.
AS long ago as Washington's time
the possibilities for swamp drainage
were noticed, Washington himself see.
ing vaguely great agricultural resourc IS
in the Dismal swamp
The soil is alluvial, literally gar.
den prepared by nature. Similar sites
already reclaimed show an exuberance
OF vegetation. And if one wishes bi.
onions or cabbage let him seek thu
drained swamp land. There is untold
wealth in the bottom of these bogs. and
with their drainage will come freedom
from mosquitoes and their attendan
malaria.

ers of milk in New York state, is

were champagne. The milk is sold to
the "gilded rich in New York city.

HANDLING ALFALFA HAY

The cutting of alfalfa should be done
when not more than one-half the
plants have blossomed.
At this stage the yield for the season
will be greater than If cut earlier,
therefore, more feed will be secured.
Late cutting of the first crop Injuries
the plant and the Increased yield IRON
succeeding crops will not make up Tor
the loss of the first crop.
The leaves of alfalfa contain much
more feeding value than the stems, and
every effort should be made to save all
the leaves.
When the ground and weather are
dry, it will cure readily and is safe to
rake within a few hours aftar moving
and stack few hours after raking.
When alfalfa is very rank end succu-
lent and the weather is damp. |. Is mt
great task to dry the leaves. but the
stems will be wet.
Always have the hay dry enough be-
fore stacking that when handful of
stems is twisted together no water can
be squeezed out. The first crop is
usually the hardest to cure.
Now early in the morning after tho
dew is off, allowing it to wilt in The
swath. Then rake and put 1t in narrow,
tall cocks before night.
The next morning after the dew is
off, open the cocks, but do not shatter
the leaves. The following afternoon
the hay will usually be in shape to
stack.
OF course you will sometimes be
governed by weather conditions, but
when the weather is fair this is very
satisfactory method to follow.

factory gains.
The growing of horses is profitable
though it has been marked by more
plumbers than any other branch OF
stock growing and breeding. The
American farmer as a rule regards only
the appearance of the animal in select
ing a sire or dam. The dam is seldom
selected for breeding purposes but Is
usually bred as a matter of con-
venience. The pedigree of the sire is
usually made up by the groom and con-
tains all of the names of famous horses
which he has ever heard of, whether
the sire contains any of their blood or
not.
This is the rule rather than the es-
ception In most all farming sections.
The farmer as a rule feels that he
cannot afford to attempt the raising of
blooded horses, and he is right, but he
should at least exercise good Judgment
in selecting large, well-built mares and
breed them to large. well-bred stations
whose stock have been tested, thus
raising a good class of animals that
will bring a fair price in the market.
Feeding upon scientific principles
should have more attention, but, like
other branches of mixed farming. habit
and custom generally determine this
matter, rather than knowledge of the
various feeds and the laws of nature.
Mixed farming is branch of agri-
culture so~large and important that 1t
can be best treated under separate
heads. but we for brief answer to
our correspondent must merely men
ton the ones which will harmonize
| into happy whole. These are the cul-
tivation of grasses, the growing OF
grains, the feeding of cattle and sheen
and judicious rotation of crops, which
must always hold the most prominent
positions in intelligent and profitable
farming.
