HANDLING WORK HORSES IN SUMMER MONTHS
By Prof. ". J. Kennedy, Iowa Agricultural
C0lleqe.
College,.

The average work horse is a hard
animal to properly care for on account
OF the irregularity Of his work. Dur
ing certain seasons Of the year he is
taxed to his utmost by real hard work
At other times, work of a medium ia
ture is demanded, and at certain
times he has little or nothing to do
in fact, may be idle. This is especi
ally true of the farm work horse
These different changes and demands
require special care and feed for the
maintenance Of good health, flesh and
endurance. A horse at real hard work
must be more literally fed, and fed
on ration differing in composition
and preparation from the animal that
is at light work or idle. Thus we can
readily see the necessity of making d
very careful study of the animal and
Its needs at all times.
A careful study Of feeding tests and
rat1ons reveals the fact that a horse
at real hard work requires a ration of
q heterogeneous nature to supply the
demand upon the system. Such a
horse must also be fed more grain
and less roughage than the horse at
lighter work. While the grinding OF
grain and the cutting or chatting OF
the roughage is not advisable in feed
ing horses under ordinary conditions,
1t may oftentimes be very beneficial in
the case of animals at real hard work
The ration may be composed of vari-
Gus kinds of grain, such as corn, oats,
wheat, barley, shorts, bran, molasses,
beans, oil meal gluten feed, and a var
iety of other feed stuffs. Too much
corn should not be fed, as it is claimed
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-04-26

better still to feed some grain all the
time.
Idle horses should not be allowed tc
remain in the stable but should be
given exercise. Where light work can
not be had, they should be allowed
the run of an open lot. They viii
then be in much better condition tC
Withstand work when the time ar
rives.
There are certain general points
which apply to all classes of horses
For instance, during the winter season
some succulent feed should be sup
piled to keep the digestive system In
good condition. Roots, especially car
rots, serve an excellent purpose. Bran
mash is also good. Steamed or boiled
grain to which has been added little
flax seed is one of the best regulators
that can be fed. 1t should be sup,
piled about twice per week.
The feet must also receive atten-
ton. They should be kept trimmed
from time to time. Horses which are
at. hard work on pavements should
have their feet packed so as to soften
the hoof and eliminate any fever or
Inflammation. This is done by using
steamed bran or shorts which is
packed in the bottom of the hoof at
least twice per week, and in some
cases every night. It is very bene-
fetal to the feet. Grooming should
never be neglected, as it keeps the
skin and hair in good condition, thus
causes much better circulation of the
blood, consequently better health.
The teeth should be examined at
least twice year. Any sharp pro.

to burn out the system in shorl
horses are worked very hard, the ra
ton is largely oats and shorts, with
some wheat, barley or corn added. Fol
roughness, timothy, clover, and mixed
hay are used. In some instances mil
let, sorghum, and oat hay are used
quite extensively. Firms owning large
numbers of horses which are worked
very hard usually grind all the grain
cut the roughage, then moisten it and
mix the grain in and feed both at the
same time. This method seems to
save the horse some labor. Various
methods are followed regarding the
number of times the animals are fed
Some feed five and six times per day
Generally the animals are fed but
three times per day. The watering is
usually done before feeding, and no
water is given for at least two hours
after feeding. This method seems to
favor more complete digestion of feed
Horses at medium work do not re.
quire such liberal feeding. Neither do
they require so much heterogeneous feed,
thus cheaper feeds may be used to
good advantage. There is no neces-
sity for grinding the grain or cutting
of time to do this work themselves.
They may be fed more corn or bar
ley, which are usually much cheaper
feeds than oats, shorts, and other nj
trogenous feed stuffs. For rOughness,
timothy, clover, mixed hay, sorghum,
millet, oat hay, and small quantities
of the various kinds OF StraWs may be
used to good advantage. Where straw
is used to any extent, more OF the
grain must be fed. Regarding the
quantity, it Will depend upon the size
of the horse and the amount Of labor
required. Horses at medium work
should receive about one pound OF
grain and che pound of hay for every
animal. This may have to be modified
to some extent with different horses.
Som horses, on account Of their con-
formation. require less feed than
others. Horses which are idle part Of
the time SHOULD be fed and handled
with much care They must be main
tanned as economically as possible
while not at work They do not re.
uuire very much heterogeneous food
They should always be fed Il sufficient
amount of feed to keep them in real
GOOD flesh Where horses are doing
little or no work, the ration may be
cheapened in several ways. In some
instances the grain ration is almOs,
solely withheld. and the same kind
and amount of roughage is fed as
when at work In other instances
part Of the grain is fed in conjunction
with straw or some other cheap kind
of rouShage This in many ways is
the better method, due to the fact that
the grain part of the ration seems to
furnish more bottom and fettle in the
animal, thus it will be in much better
form for work when such is needed.
1t is a fatal mistake to starve a horse
while idle, and then suddenly increase
his grain ration when the work season
arrives. The increase should be made
several weeks in advance, and it is

this purpose. Many horses suffer a
great deal, due to sharp projections
on the teeth. The removal of the

called floating" Many horses which

ing, and none should be given for at
least two hours after feeding. The
nay or roughage should be fed first,
then the grain part of the ration. The
harness should always be properly
fitted to the horse. Large collars or
too small collars should never be
used. During warm weather the har.
ness, and especially the collars, should
be kept very clean. They should be
scraped and washed every evening, to
prevent sore shoulders This is an
important point, especially with young
horses.

tell them by the pale yellow look about

than one egg a day and those do nor

The hens have not exerted them
selves during the winter irving TO
compete with the cold storage eggs
thrown on the market, so are in -ey

chances of making the eggs more
fertile provided they have the right

JoNEs-MARTIN CONTROVERSY

Jones that Senator Martin was dis
burser OF the yellow dog fund OF
the railroads to bride members oil

wears ago, have been promptly met
and emphatically denied by Senator
Martin and this position is sustain
ed by Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson, chair
man of the State Democratic Com
mittee. Senator Martin was a mem
Der of the State Committee, and the
contributions received by him and
other members were for the pur-
pose of redeeming the State to white
supremacy.
Following are the charges made

Monday.
II here and now reiterate what
l said in Halifax county, that Sena-
tor Martin was a comparatively un-

that be was only known as
railroad agent and lobbyist. l
further charge, and l am prepared
to prove, not only thathe represent
ed railroad interests before the
Legislature Of Virginia, but that he
was actually one OF the disbursing
agents OF the yellow dog fund OF
the railroads.
when the Lorimer case was
brought before the Senate in March
last it is true that Senator Martin
voted against him.
Senator La Toilette Of Wiscon-
sin, forced the Senate TO reopen
the case. : = For the La Toilette
resolution Senator Martin offered

Elections should conduct the inves

tins resolution, thus defeating Ser

proper resolution.
