The work horse should be supplied
with about two pounds of provender
for each hundred pounds of weight. OF
this from ten to eighteen pounds, &C
cording to the severity of the labor
performed, should be grain in some
form. The heavy feeding should come
at night, after the long days work Is
over and when the animal has time for
masticating and digesting his food.
Feed the Mare Literally.
The first foal of some mares has been
the best that they have ever produced.
w. R. Gilbert expresses a belief that
the reason for this is such mares may
have been regularly worked and lIber-
ally fed when carrying their first foals,
but in subsequent years were COM
PEELED to get their living at pasture
while carrying one foal and nursing
another.
Remedy For Chronic Cough.
DR.. Fowler has had best success with
the following remedy for chronic cough
in horses: Give tablespoonful Of strip
squills, a tablespoonful of tincture
opium and a teaspoOnful muriate am
monia in feed two or three times a day.
Care of Legs and Feet.
Too much care cannot be given to
the legs and feet Of horses. This il
especially the case with horses on the
farm. Hours are spent in brushing the
hair, name and tail, but the legs and
feet are neglected. Many horses are
permanently injured because the feet
are neglected. The most beautiful
horse would be worthless without
sound limbs and feet. Have your
horse properly shod. Rub his legs
thoroughly when cleaning him. Wash
the legs after hard days work and
rub them dry. If you have any time to
spare, it will pay to bandage each leg
for a short time after long drives or
extra hard work.
Sore Shoulders.
Sore shoulders are caused by i'm
properly fitting collars or by allowing
dirt and hair to collect under the col
lar and remain there from one day to
another. Use none other than a per-
feet fitting collar. If you do not I'M
derstand fitting the collar, take an
experienced man with you when you
visit the harness store. Always use q
good pad, one that contains no Jumps
In the padding or that has padding
that cannot be easily detached and
moved into Jumps under the collar
Then keep the shoulders clean. It Ia
q good plan to wash the horses shout
ders every evening after removing the
harness. The application of cold water
not only cOols the fevered skin, but Il
also hardens the flesh so it can resist
q greater pressure the next day.
The patrons of a well known cata-
logue house have been having a good
deal Of trouble of late because the con-
Germ in question made use of patents
in the manufacture of their cheap
cream separators that belonged to an
other flrm. A decision handed down
by the United States circuit court not
only enJoins the catalogue house from
selling any more of these machines,
but the individual purchaser from
using them. Whether the supply house
b going to make this loss good b Tn
patrons b not as yet stated, but d b
hardly likely,
The grape fruit, which is of the col
or OF a lemon and OF the shape Of an
orange, though considerably larger,
gets its name from the fact that the
fruit as borne on the trees is clus-
tered much as are grapes on their
stem. This fruit is not at its best until
the second year after picking. when 1t
b really too ripe for shipment. which
accounts for the fact that relatively so
little Of 1t is shipped to eastern mar
kets and for the further fact that SO
little OF that which is shipped is In
