those which appeal to me as being the
most reasonable. would suggest a
trial Of the following rules: Have your
morning feed at regular hour each
day. Give your horses as much rest
after eating as your business will per-
NIT. Do not feed your horses until
they have been in the barn at least
fifteen minutes Thirty minutes would
be better.
The noon feed should be the lightest

horses head. If possible arrange rack
so that the horse must lower his head
to get to the hay.

FEEDING THE
HEAVY HAULER.
By HENRY DlTHMER.


1t is important to remember that
the amount of feed required by Il
horse bears close relation to the
amount of energy expended and work
performed. a work horse pulling Il
light load rapidly will use up more ell
ergy than he will in pulling the same
load slowly and ii fed the same in
driven rapidly.
There are several good reasons for
feeding oats All authorities agree
that they are easily digested and con-
tain the necessary amount Of protein
to supply food for the muscles; that
even the hull has its value in furnish
Ing sufficient amount Of roughness to
aid in exciting the saliva and gastric
juice and thus aiding the digestion.
Many careful and experienced feeders
prefer corn as the principal grain and
oats only as n change. There can be
no question as to the value OF corn In
fattening Il horse, and it Is certainly Il
much cheaper feed than oats. but after
careful inquiry l am firmly Of the
opinion that corn fed horses are more
susceptible to disease and, even though
they present a pleasing appearance,
have not the muscular strength, the
endurance or the power to resist dis
eases of horses fed on oats.
Following are the methods Of feed
ing used in some Of the large stables
of the country:
City Ice Delivery Company. Cleveland
Fifteen pounds OF oats. two pounds bran.
fifteen pounds hay and all salt they want.
One-half this amount when idle. Recent
experiments with mixed feed composed Of

molasses and bran. fed dry. show a saw

Too much care cannot be used In
preparing butter for the market. The
fancy package outsells one inferior in
looks. Recently at demonstration
lecture under the auspices of the Ok.
lahoma Dairymen's association two
buckets of butter scored exactly the

was by the appearance of the package.

Roosevelt, and the ships in the bay are gaily decorated. Prom inent among the yachts in port is the Nahma, with Mrs. Robert Goelet on board.
