Feeding Horses.

1t Is generally believed that horses
must not be fed clover hay for fear of
the heaves. This Is mistake. If the
horse is given the proper quantity of
clover and not overfed there is no
danger Of the heaves. A horse should
never be fed more than he will eat up
clean, either grain or hay. Without
a doubt oats Is the best general food
for a horse, and goes well with tim
othy hay. A good change is to once
or twice week give feed of corn
and clover with bran mash. When
a horse does not clean up his feed it
is best to try change, Feeding and
watering should be done at regular In
tervals, the watering always before the
eating. Above all things, do not give
horse water Immediately after eat
ing, 1t should never be given before
at least an hour after he has finished
his meal

ROBIN HOOD NOT A MYTH.
Hero of Sherwood Forest Had q

nero OF Sherwood Forest Had n
Court Place Under King Ed
ward III.
Many famous men have their names
iiilked with Sherwood, King John, the
three Edwards, Richard III, Cardinal
Wolsey and Charles l., but tile hero of
the place, the genius loci," is Robin
Hood, the London Globe says.
Some think that the famous ontIaw
or the ballads was myth. mere
poetic conception and creature OF the
popular mind, but Mr.. Hunter in
his research into the person and period
Of Robin Hood holds that he was born
between 1856 and 1905, living through
the reign of the second Edward and
into the early years of the third. He
was or family of some station seated
near Wakefield, and supported the Earl
OF Lancaster in his rebellion against the
government. When the earl fell and
bis followers were prescribed Robins
HOOD took to the woods and supported
himself by Staying the wild animals
round In the forest and by levying
species of blackmail on passengers
along the great road which united
London and Berwick. This continued
for about twenty months, from April.
1922, to December, 1923, when he fell
into the kings power, who for some
unknown reason not only pardoned him
but gave him a place at court. Any
how, a man Of the name of Robyn Hode
was 'vadlet' of the king III 1894.
DR., Spencer I. Hall says that Robyn
was created Earl of Huntington by a
London ballad writer hard up for a
word to rhyme to Little John. Be this
as it may, Robin Hood vii always be
the hero of romance and those who love
romance will refuse to believe that he
never existed.

Keeping Soil I'm Good shane


When there is plenty. of moisture in
spring, followed by dry and hot
weather during June and July, the con-
dition Is just right for spelling the
soil, especially If untimely plowing has
ieif the fields In badly baken condi-
tloh. Ii the result of such conditions
iasted but one season the matter would
not be SO serious, but it has frequently
peen observed that land badly puddled
and subsequently hard baked can not be
retrieved In many years. 1t is harder
10 reduce such soil than the toughest
hard-pan. In fact, 1t will require sew
eral seasons Of careful work to bring
these soils into good condition again.
lt Is bad practice to stir ground
when 1t is wet yet it is done every
spring. Crops are puddled in every
year, and it is wonder that we get
any crops at all from these fields.
Such fields are the first to dry up
when summer droughts strike us. for
capillarity has been SO completely de-
stroyed that the crops can not draw
upon the water reserves, and the ele-
ments needed for growth of the crops
are SO securely locked up In the clods
that they are not available.
1t Is the natural tendency of all soil
to become frmer. 1t is tamped down
by even the gentlest rains, and beating
rains will render it almost impervious
to water. Good farming must undo
this work by breaking up these crusts
and keeping the soil in good condition.
All practical farmers know that soils
are best by being plowed and cultivated
at just the right time, but not many
have the patience to stand by, when
the season is getting late, or put off
cultivation and allow weeds to get the
upper hand. Brown says there is more
to be gained by properly working our
soils than In fertilizing them.
