When to Feed.

No animal is fit for real hard or
fast work after eating a large meal,
but we frequently practice feeding as
large an amount IN the morning and
1T noon as at night. When we force
work from the muscles a larger guam
tity of blood goes to them and conse-
quently there is smaller quantity
that can $50 to the digestive organs.
The result is digestion is checked
and collie follows.
To prevent this all horses doing real
hard work should receive all the hay
they are to receive in the twenty-four
hours at night And right here it
may be Well to state that horses are
usually FED very much more hay than
is best for them. If the horse can be
allowed to eat hay for at least one
hour before being fed his grain at
night, then at least half the grain he
is to receive in the twenty-four hours
should also be given at night. The
other half should be divided into two
equal parts, one being given in the
morning and the other at noon.

How to Balance the Ration.

Pasture or green feed is of great
value in the feeding of animals, but
a Woodworking horse or mule is
probably better without it. This is
certainly the case with any horse Of
which fast work is required. Some
green feed may be allowed horses
and mules doing SLOW work, but ii
should never constitute more than
one-third the rough feed. Animals
getting more, If required to do fast or
real hard work, are apt to suffer from
too loose condition of the bowels
and collie is not an infrequent result
This is fruitful cause OF trouble
with farm work stock.
Unquestionably a section so well
adapted to the growing of so large a
number of legumes, which make ex-
cellent hays and pay the cost of grow
ing by the addition which they make
to the fertility of the land should
feed legume hays to it's work stock
but these hays are not satisfactory for
horses doing fast work for the same
reason that green feed is not salts
factory. The corn ration may be par
TALLY balanced with such hays. but
it is quite probable that better results
will be obtained if one-half the long
forage is made up of corn stover or
grass hay. If more protein is de-
sired than can be obtained from half
a ration of legume hay ii had better

mule should consume about I-2 to
3 tons Of hay and from 80 to 100
bushels Of corn in a year. At $40 a
ton for the hay, and so cents a BUSH
el for the corn, this means that the
cost OF feeding a horse or mule SO as
to maintain him at hard wark. is
from $65 to $50 year. II the cost
or feeding can be lessened, say Is per
cent-and this can be easily done-it
means saving Of from $40 to SIS

work stock in North Carolina. South
Carolina. and Georgia Of from 10 to

HOW TO MAKE IT.
by Better Care and Feeding Of the
Farm Work Stock,

An abundance Of efficient farm
work stock Is an essential to success
ful agriculture. The horse or mule.
however. is an expensive animal to
maintain and should, therefore. be
kept at work every day and main
tanned at the highest point Of effic-
iency That we have not that abun-
dance of farm work stock, which is
needful, Is shown by comparison of
the number OF farm workers with the
number Of our horses and mules. To
obtain the highest returns from our
labor, and from the money invested
in farm implements, we should have
not less than three farm work ami
mails to each farm worker, whereas
1t Is an actual fact that we have only
one for every two farm workers.
1t follows, therefore, that since our
farm work stock is expensive to main
tain. Is such an important factor in
the success Of our agriculture, and
Is insufficient i'm numbers to meet our
needs, II t. apparent that, if by better
care and feeding the cost of main
tenance can be reduced and the ef-
fciency of that which we have ma
terially increased it is we'll worth our
while to give serious thought to the
subject.
A Woodworking farm horse or
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1909-03-24

tion for the work stock of our terri
tory is one rlade up about as follows:
Seven pounds grass hay or corn
stover. eight pounds legume hay, 10
pounds corn and pounds cottonseed
meal.
More than half the diseases of farm
work stock are the result of inju-
dicious feeding. and probably so per
cent of the other half are due to bad
care and management. Indigestion
and collie cause a large per cent of
the deaths among farm work stock,
and they are largely the result Of
careless feeling and bad manage
ment.
If change Of work becomes neces-
sary. and 1t frequently does on every
farm, care should be taken to proper
ly adjust the feed to the conditions.
1t is not uncommon for the horse
owner to increase the feed when a
day cf extra hard work Is demanded
of this animal. The opposite course
should be taken. If more is sudden
ly required of the muscles, or if a
change is made to work to which the
horse is not accustomed, the feed
should be decidedly decreased and
then gradually increased as the horse
becomes accustomed to the new work
Never give a horse full feed on q
change to work, nor a change of feed
when at hard work.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1909-03-24

been deprived of it for too long a
time.
1t matters little when the water be
given, IL it is given often enough.
Once day for an idle horse in winter
Will come nearer supplying his needs
than will five times a day satisfy a
hard-working horse i'm hot weather.
Sore shoulders. necks and back are
source of great pain to the horse
and greatly reduce his efficiency.
These conditions are usually the re-
suit Of carelessness or bad manage
ment. We buy cheap inferior col
lar which soon gets uneven on the
surface that comes i'm contact with
the shoulder. We then resort to that
abomination, the sweat pad" This
remedy for bad collars was conceived
in ignorance and is perpetuated by
shiftless indifference. A good, broad,
firm, smooth leather collar is the best
pad for any shoulder.
In the spring of the year, when idle
and young horses are first put to
work, great care should be taken to
see that the collar fits right; that the
draft is at the proper point, and that
the collar is kept clean, smooth, and
hard. AT noon and at night when the
collar is removed wash the shoulders
with cold water and rub thoroughly
with coarse cloth.
1t is perhaps useless TO advise that
the farm-work stock be well groomed
every morning. 1t is too old and
well-established a custom among good
horsemen not to be founded on sound
Judgment but we have lost both the
art and the inclination. To scratch
the filth off the horse and to thor
oughly groom him are too quite diff
ferent operations The one does little
good, while the benefits of the other
are well stated in the old adage:
There is pint of oats in the comb
and quart in the brush. Progress

Different Feeds and Their Value.


The feeds available for feeding
farm m.work stock may be divided
roughly into two classes according to
their high or low content of protein.
Protein is that constituent Of feeds
which is known as the "hesh form.
ing element. That is. in young ami
mails 1t serves to build up the body,
make bone, muscle, blood and other
parts of the body structure. In older
animals. 1T serves to repair the wastes
and build up the worn out tissues
Young and Woodworking animals,
therefore, need more protein
than idle. mature animals. The
other principal constituents of feeds
Notwithstanding, sugars. etc.
and fats) serve the purpose of sup
plying heat and energy to the body.
The farm work stock, therefore.
needs ration containing sufficient
protein to repair the wastes of the
body and enough of the other food
elements to furnish the required heat
and energy
Our feeding stuffs which are more
or less rich In prctein needed to SUD-
ply material to build up the wasted
or worn out tissues, are:
Oots, wheat barn. peavine, clover,
alfalfa, and other legume hays.
The available feeds rich in heat
and energy-forming materials are:
Corn. corn stover, the grass hays,
molasses, and rice products.
The average horse weighing 1000
pounds. and doing fairly hard work,
will require, each twenty-four hours,
from ten to fifteen pounds Of hay and
from twelve to fifteen pounds Of
grain. Now. since corn is rich in the
materials necessary to produce heat
and energy we will suppose that ten
pounds will supply exactly the force
necessary to do the work required Of
a horse. But corn being poor in the
material necessary to build up the
wear and tear of the body, there is
not enough Of this in ten pounds, and
consequently the horse loses flesh.
How do we usually try to prevent
this? BY the addition, say, of four
pounds more of corn. But we did not
need any more heat and energy-form-
ing feed, yet corn is made up large
ly or just this sort of material. What.
then. must become Of the greater part
Ut this extra four pounds of corn? 1t
is wasted. The only portion Of it that
Is used is the small amount Of pro-
tein 1t contains and which the horse
needs to repair his worn-out muscles.
But II it were simply wasted, pos
sibly We might stand that as we do
numerous other wastes, but in this
case We compel our horse to digest
more feed than he needs which may
SO over tax his stomach as to derange
digestion, cause collie and finally
death.
At present prices of feed stuffs, in
the most sections Of the South. cot
tonseed meal would be the best con-
centrate or grain" feed. Instead of
adding four pounds Of corn to the ten
pounds we were already feeding. we
ought to have added two pounds Of
cottonseed meal. That is, ten pounds
of corn and two pounds Of cottonseed
meal will give us better results, and
the grain" ration will cost us one
corn. This, of course, only applies
when the rough forage is corn fodder
or grass hay.
