PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING


entire fall, winter ana early spring.
Why not put the stallion to work?
It is no more trouble to handle a
stallion than a mare II It is done in a
proper way by an intelligent man. IN
point Of fact, II the stallion is to
maintain Lis Vigor and be at for SER
vice, he should be kept steadily at
work during the entire fall and win
ter and early spring. We have here
tofore given the reasons for this at
some length. We think every stall
lloner will bear US out in this. The
stallion may not be as good looking
In the spring, but his flesh will be
hard, and all experience shows that
his colts will have superior vitality.
The worst place for the stallion to
be kept during the winter is in the
stable without exercise, and about
the wors. feed he can be fed is corn.
The run OF a paddock with an oppor-
tunity for shelter is a great improve
ment over this, but this in itself will
not maintain SUFFICIENT Vigor. The
draft stallion shodld be taught to pull
and thus develop the pulling instinct.
Therefore, the right and proper way
to handle a stallion between seasons
Is simply to give him the same care
that an intelligent man will give any
other horse-no more and no less

MAKING SUNSHINE
IL IL Often Found In Pure Food.

The improper selection OF food
drives many a healthy person into
the depths of despairing illness. In
deed, most sickness comes from
wrong food, and just so surely as
that is the case, right food will make
the sun shine once more.
An old veteran Of Newburyport,
Mass, says: "In October, l was
taken sick and went to bed, losing Al
pounds in about so days. l had doc
tor after doctor, food hurt me and
had to live almost entirely on mag
nesla and soda. All solid food dis

The Same Old Story.

cannot too often repeat that no
cotton farmer, who farms In a good
rotation, grows an abundance Of peas
and crimson clover, and feeds stock,
will ever need to buy nitrogen or am
monia in any form, but can get more
and more OF nitrogen in his soil an
nually, and that after a few years of
good rotation with legumes, the
only fertilizer he will need to buy
will be phosphoric acid and potash
for the pea crop. The peas will do
the rest through their feeding OF the
stock; and the crops that are now
merely looked upon as supplies"
will bring cash into his pockets at
all seasons Of the year, and enable
him to say something about the
prices OF his crops, since they will
then belong TO him and not to the
merchant.-Professor Massey, in Pro-

Ootton.seed Meal For Horses.


Many inquiries come TO us request
ing information as to the value and
advisabulty OF feeding cotton-seed
meal to horses and mules. We al
ways recommend 1t in limited
amounts. OF course; and believe there
is no better source for protein in a
horses ration than cotton-seed meal
All farmers are interested in secur-
ing more efficient labor from their
teams, and, II possible, without addl-
tional expense. The writer proposed
horse feeding experiment to test the
advantages Of cotton-seed meal a year
ago, and has again proposed It with
some prospect Of doing this valuable
work for the benefit of the farmers,
all OF whom are interested in teams
and their best feeding for returns In
labor or breeding. We shall en-
deavor to begin the work In a short
time
Some have thought that feeding
cotton-seed meal would not be ad-
yisable for brood mares. Good horse
sense would indicate 10 US that II
not deleterious to cows, the most cas-
lily excited 10 abortion OF any Of our
domestic animals, II would not be to
mares. We know cows are often fed
as much as three or four pounds per
day. The writer fed cotton-seed meal
to horses and mules in Indiana, and
to three mares in the winter and
spring, all of which had spring colts,
and there we're never any bad effects
observable at any time. Horses thrive
on cotton-seed meal, and while they
do not take to II very kindly at first,
yet the fact that they do so we'll when
It forms a part OF their ration, Is suf-
ficlent to Justify the use of this great
Southern feed, both for them and
mules. Judge Hammond, OF Angus
ia, Ca, says there is not the remotest
danger of abortion from feeding cot
ton-sesd meal to brood mares in rea-
sonable quantities, say, not to exceed
two pounds per day. II must be re-
membered that they do not take to it
kindly II on full feed of good grain,
and very small amount must be
fed in the beginning. coaxing them to
the new taste, as It were, which is
better than forcing them to It by a
semi-starvation process. But It is
not inadyisable to keep horses lit
tie hungry until they take to eating
a little Of the meal, when they will
then soon eat full ration with such
an amount Of the new feed as you de-
sire to incorporate therein. It GER
tainly keeps work stock in good con-
ditlon, both body and coat. AS much
as three pounds may be fed tc hard
worked horses.-Walter ]. Quick,

A Contrast.

The greater part of the hay used
in our cities and towns is shipped in
