Saltino the Cows,

a supply Of salt available whenever
the cows want it is necessary to main
tain a high yield OF milk. Salt stimu-
lates the appetite and assists diges-
tion and assimilation, which increase
the flow of the fluids Of the body Salt
Ing feeds for dairy cows once a week
Is not sufficient 1t is "A good plan to
keep rock salt under shelter where
the cows can get at It at will and then
feed loose salt once week I'm such
quantities as the cows will eat. Loose
salt may be used exclusively if It can
be sheltered from rain. 1t is not best
to mix salt with feed for frequently
the cows will get more salt than they
need, which will reduce the flow.

Turnips For Stock.

In this year Of high grain we should
begin feeding the turnips early-as
soon as frost destroys the pasture, says
the Rural New Yorker. If you give
them to cows, feed while you are milk
ing or soon after and thus avoid the
taste in the milk. By analysis turnips
are worth about one-tenth as much
pound for pound as cornmeal; but,
like other succulent foods, they have
higher value than the analysis indi-
Gates. We would feed bran or corn
meal with them. For sheep the tur-
nips are excellent. For hogs we prefer
to cook them and mix dry bran with
the turnips.

THE HORSEMAN.

A soft cloth is better to rub the dirt
from horses legs than a comb. Some
horses are very sensitive about the use
of comb on their legs. A cloth they

Buy a Well Broken Animal.
Before buying a horse see that he is
well broken. A horse may be perfect

training.

To prevent colts from gnawing reins
wash the reins in alcohol In which
aloes and asafetida have been dis
solved. Generally one trial will effect
a cure. The same result has been pro-
duced when a few seeds Of red pepper
have been thrust into small incisions
in leather left purposely within the
colts reach.
Teaching the Colt to Eat.
An old horseman says that the best
way to teach a colt to eat is to begin
while the mare is nursing it. He
feeds the mare once a day on hay cut
In inch lengths, mixed with bran, mid
dlings or other ground feed and mois-
tened with water, just enough to make
1t adhere to the hay and not be sloppy.
He arranges the feed box so the colt
can learn to eat with the mare. In this
way by weaving time the little animal
Will be able to keep his colt flesh, and
weaving will not hurt him. A little Of
this feed will digest easily, is econom-
lcal, will distend his stomach, and IL
until he is four or five years
old, when his digestive organs are In
perfect working order, he VIII be prac-
tically immune from collie or stomach
trouble.

CATTLE AND

valuable animal may be attacked at

great point in guarding a1"nst the

surroundings that her constitution will

The Draft Horse,

The draft horse possesses three
points that make him a horse for heavy
work. He must have weight, which Is
the first essential; heavy hook bones
and strong muscles. When a horse
pulls the tendency is to lift him off
the ground; hence the necessity of his
being heavy. If he has his head check
ed high he cannot pull to advantage,
for It is natural for him to draw his
head down when he pulls. A horse
may have a heavy and powerfully
built hook bone, but his muscles may
not be developed and he is weak. A
draft horse may have the appearance
Of perfection as to size, but unless his
tendons and muscles are strong he
cannot stand heavy work. Like a
heavy chain, he is only strong as the
weakest point.

A Sensible Feeding Floor.

A feeding floor will save its cost In
one season. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the number of tons Of corn that
are wasted every year by being tram
pied into the mud and snow by hogs.
The floor should be from four to six
inches from the ground, built solidly
of good timbers, and around the edge
should be nailed tightly by 4 scan
tling to prevent the corn from being
scraped off into the mud.
