CANE M0LASSES FOR STOCK

vantage for Increasing PalatabII.
Ity Of Damaged Feeds.

Molasses has been used In many In.
stances for feeding horses and cattle,
1t can frequently be used to advant-
age for increasing the palatability Of
damaged feeds. Cane molasses has
been fed to large number OF horses
on sugar plantations, and their health
greatly improved by this feed. Consti.
patton, which is caused by feeding
large amounts of molasses, may be
counteracted by bran. There is no
undue fatness or softness of flesh
caused by feeding molasses. AS high
as fifteen pounds of cane molasses
may be given to an animal daily.
Lindsey Of the Massachusetts ex-
pertinent station, considers cane mo-
lasses at IA cents per gallon a cheap
carbohydrate for horses. 1t can be
said that reasonable amount Of
cane molasses will prove helpful to
horses at hard work.
Beet molasses is apt to be more or
less injurious to the horse One or
two pounds daily would be quite
enough. 1t is customary to dilute the
molasses with water and pour 1t over
the roughage. This may be done foy
either cattle or horses.

when you are milking young COW.
6. Don't crack the seat Of your

who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they. Of course,
