chow to Feed Your Horse"

Over one-half of the diseases which
horses are subject to are caused by
wrong feeding. Correct feeding is
really such = simple matter that there
10 no reason why every horse should
not be fed properly. Violation Of
one Of = few simple rules spells death
to thousands Of horses every year.
It will pay every horse owner to learn
these rules by heart and put them
Into practice. Here they are:
"Horss Feeding Rules"
1. Do not feed too much or too lit
tie. Feed Just enough to hold the anil
mails weight while doing his work
properly. For a 1.000-pound horse on
full work a normal ration IL 10 pounds
Of timothy or mixed hay and -
pounds of oats day.
2. Feed three times day and at
the same time each day. Regularity
keeps the horse from fretting and
aids digestion. tF
8. Do not feed grain or water when
too warm and tired. Wait half an
hour. feeding = little hay. When a
horse 10 too warm for water he IL too
warm for grain.
4. Water before feeding. except q
little hay while cooling OF. II you wa
ter after feeding the horse drinks too
much and It chiils the stomach and
fntesferes with digestion. Give all
the water he wants, but at the proper
time. Even = very warm horse may
have 4 dozen swallows II he 10 kept
travelling for . while afterward. Wa.
ter too dirty or stale for you to drink
u too dirty for your horse. Give clean
water caly.
The Meeker herald., 1913-04-26

& Feed hay or other roushage BE-
f6f6 the grain. The horse eats Il
slower and 1t aids digestion by sep
aFating the grain instead Of its form
iag . compact mass which the stom-
ach Juices cannot work On veil.
6. Never use moldy or damaged
fesd. 1t is cheaper In price but much
dsarer In the long run because It
oftsn causes colo and acute or
chronic indigestion.
Dusty hay or grain must be
naoistened or it viii cause wind trou-
bles and aggravate eye infections.
Dust is frequent cause Of heaves.
.. Make changes in the ration very
gradually or your horse will 30 on
fesd and may develop violent disor.
deFs.
.. A warm bran mash with 4 hand
full Of salt in it il an excellent feed
for Saturday night. It loosens the
bowels. prevents collie and axoturia.
and keeps the horse in hue condition.
10. Finally. use good horse sense.
See that your horse il comfortable
before you look out for yourself.
Start him easy. work up to the pull
gradually. protect him when overtired
or heated. feed as outlined and your
horse will rarely have digestive trou-
blse.

Starting a Blackberry Patch.

New paintings of blackberries
should be made Just ~ soon as the
ground is free from frost and dry
enough to work with. Plant the cut
tings in rows, three feet apart in the
row. and have the rows from sig to
eight feet apart. Remember that
blackberries multiply and form q solid

get the earth arm about the cuttings.
and water occasionally during the
arst month.
Blackberries will need some cultiva-
ton. particularly during the first
year. A good plan 10 to grow low
garden crops between the rows and
give them ordinary vegetable cultiva-
ton. This will make the ground yield
two crops for one cultivation. Al,
Do not allow the berry rows to
spread more than two feet wide. They
will form a solid mass unless kept
down between the rows.
Prune in the fall or winter by re-
moving all Of the old stalks. cutting
them OF at the ground. Cut back the
new wood . half with the pruning
shears. This causes the formation Of
fruit buds instead Of wood and leaves.
There are rather large number Of

When They Fight It Is Really Com

1t is not generally known that after

lack of sufficient material. The gluti-
nous substance from which the spider
spins it's slender web Is limited. There
fore, spiders cannot keep on construct
ing new snares for their prey when the
old webs are destroyed.
Very often when the web material
Is exhausted they are able to avail
themselves of the web producing pow
ers of their younger or more fortunate
neighbors, and this they do without
any scruple whatever.
AS soon as spiders web construct
