When the Tamworth is crossed on

EXPERIMENTS IN FEEDING
HORSES.
Agricultural Experiment League to
Test Efficiency Of Hay Feed.

Agricultural Experiment League TO
Test Efficiency Of Hay Feed.
Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
vallis.-"F Farm horses as a general
rule are fed entirely too much hay."
says the Oregon Agricultural Expert
ment Leagues latest bulletin to the
100 members who are to test the
efficiency of system of feeding sug-
gested by the department of animal
husbandry.
This is positive injury to the
animal, and often lessons to a con-
siderable degree his working eff.
cheney. 1t should be remembered
that every time horse initiates his
lungs, the stomach Is displaced, and
lii this organ be kept constantly full
i OF bulky food, it imposes extra work
upon the respiratory system. Heaves,
SO common among farm horses, is al
most wholly due to feeding too large
quantities of hay. Collie and other
forms of indigestion are often due to
feeding too large amounts Of bulky
food. Aside from it's physical injury
to the horse, the feeding of excess
sive amounts Of hay is a waste that
should be conserved.
"A horse weighing 1000 lbs. will
do more work and keep in better
health on Is lbs. of hay per day than
he will on 20 lbs per day. In fact,
Is lbs. of hay per day is sufficient
bulky food for horse of that size.
A horse weighing 1000 to 1900 lbs.
does not need more than 20 lbs.
of hay per day. The balance of his
nutrients should be in the form of
grain.
Feed the 1000 lib. horse 10 lbs.
Of good hay at night and lbs in
the morning and he will perform
more labor with greater ease than he
would If hay is kept before him all
the while
"The purpose Of the experiment is
to cause horse owners to observe
more closely the advantages of feed
ing less hay If two or more teams
are maintained upon the farm. feed
one team as suggested and the other
the usual way and note carefully the
result. In making the test, however,
teams should be divided as to size,
age and individuality as nearly equal
as possible. Whenever practicable,
weigh rather than guess the amount
of hay fed"

Wherever possible the silo should
be located in sheltered place, as it
has a great bearing on the extent to
which the silage will freeze. A silo

The Tamworth hog is not as popu.

The Tamworth hog is not as popu-
lar in the United States as it de-
serves. A few pigs of this breed
were brought over from England
about 80 years ago, but until the last
three or four years it was not regard
ed favorably.
The appearance Of the Tamworth
is somewhat against it. It's rather
long head does not impress farmers
favorably, and there is general be-
lief that It costs more to bring q Tam.
worth to maturity than almost any
other type. Experiments show, how,
ever, that this claim is based mainly
on prejudice. for the Tamworth in
Canada has proven itself to be AZ
excellent and economical feeder.

Remedial Measures.

Sprays: This insect belongs to
the true bugs which suck their food,
therefore any arsenical is useless in
combating it. Kerosene emulsion Is
the standard contact spray and should
be employed where convenient and
practical. In its nymphal stages this
pest is killed with the tobacco sprays
employed for the aphids. Sprays are
generally unsatisfactory because of
this insects ability to drop or disap-
pear when disturbed. A fair degree
of success is attained If the spray is
used in early morning, as the insects
are very sluggish at this time
Earring and Brushing: Another
method is to jar the insects or the
plant into sticky sheet or vessel
of some sort. Even better than this
is an ordinary insect net. After q
little practice one can sweep over
the plants with this in the early
morning and capture nearly all the
bugs present without injuring the
bugs in the least. When once in the
net methods for destruction will sug-
gest themselves.
Screening: Where especially num-
erous in the vicinity it would un-
doubtedly pay well to screen them
out of the greenhouse. Common wire
gauze could be fitted over frames
and used over the ventilators.
The florist referred to above feels
certain that he greatly lessened the
attack the past season inside the
greenhouse by having small block
OF growthy plants outside. These
the shippers found inviting and event
ually practically ruined.
Clean Up: While mentioned last
this Is unQuestionably the most Inn
portant step of all. The fact that
the insects pass the winter In trash

Ever since the relay races were

mawa has won every year and the
indian runners are determined that
the pale faces shall go down to de-
feat again. The Y. NJ. C. A. will have
the best team it has ever put out
this year and it is confident of sue
cess-just as confident as the In
dams. AS evidence that they will
win they point to the fact that an in
door relay race held between three
OF their men and three of the Indians
a short time ago. the Christians won
by two laps. The race covered six
miles The Indians only laugh, how
ever, at this argument and predict
that their confidence is as much mis-
placed this year as it was in the
years gone before.
