FEEDING THE

According to an expert breeder, who
has had wide experience in the care
aud feeding Of draft horses. horseInen
have much to learn Oh the subject OF
feeding hay to horses He says the
/ average man allows the horse to be
the Judge OF the amount Of hay he
should have. this being gauged by the
animals capacity. and thus many a
good work horse. IN ruined 1t IL not
necessary to feed more than one
pound Of hay for every hundredweight
Of the animal For example, u l.4OO
pound horse should get not more than
fourteen pounds Of hay per day.
The above amount Of hay and a
grain ration. composed Of corn, oats
and bran, mixed in the proportion OF
fifty pounds Ut corn. nifty pounds Of
oats and twenty-five pounds Of bran.
will make any horse tit for hard
days work. One will generally have
to feed from one to one and half
pounds Of grain per day to every hun
dred weight Of horse. The smaller
amount may do when he il ut light
work and the larger amount when at
heavy labor. find that such Il mix
ture as this fed along with the amount
of hay mentioned will keep horse
cheerful and make him pleasant to
work. The grain ration IL sufficiently
futtening, while II Is also flesh form
ing enough In character to impart 4

1t Is true that some horses will eat
much more hay than the amount men
toned, but 1t Is a mistake to Increase
this quantity. ms horse can only
digest and assimilate a certain amount.
Keep In mind that II horses appetite
generally goes beyond his powers of
assimilation. In many cases horses
that eat large amounts Of hay become
hard looking. while they have little
life or snap in them. Some men 20 on

. Habits of Seals,

The habits OF seals are very interest
ing. The very young seal IL helpless
IN the water until he il taught by his
mother to swim. She takes him into
the water daily on her fin and dumps
him IN and when he gets tired VI
foundering about places him on her
fin again and returns to her camp.
When the young seals are well grown
they suddenly disappear with their
mothers and the bull seals. No one
knows where they go. and their return
is equally as sudden a. their departure.
The bulls are the first To put in an
appearance at the camping ground.
When they arrive they commence at
once to prepare II camp for their mates
which they stake OF and for which
they fight until they die. In the mean
time the female seals remain quite 4
distance from land. boating lazily on
the water and seemingly having =
