$136.17.
The cost varies widely by states,

FEED FOR WORK
TEAM IN SUMMER
Bad Management to Stuff Horses
During Idle Season and
Starve Them Later.

One of the worst mistakes a farmer
can make is to feed heavily during
the winter season, when work is
slack, and to feed slightly l. summer
when work continues all day and
every day. Only last week. says a
writer in an exchange, saw a team
owned by young, but at the same
time rather opinionated farmer. This
team was fed during the winter sea-
son all the grain and forage they
would consume.
AS the season advanced the price
of grain and hay became higher.
Money might have been a little tight
perhaps, at any rate feed was sold
that should have been kept. The
working season arrived. Crops must
be put in and cultivated. feed was
short, and the teams suffered.
When l saw them they were living
skeletons, and deprecated rs per
cent, SO far as cash value was con-
cerned. This seems to me to be
mighty poor management stuffing your
work horses In the idle season and
starving them at the very time that
they need the best care.
Just think moment, dear farmer,
Of the plentiful food that the wom-
en-folk prepare for you three times
daily, and most especially during the
harvest season, and then imagine
how the horse must feel that pulls a
pillow, binder, mower or wagon. all
day, and on insufficient feed!
There is no economy. or even bust
ness sense in feeding sparingly dur
Ing the long, hot and busy summer
season. A pair OF strong, fell-fed and
vellkept horses or mules will do the
