Most every winter farmers report
trouble from feeding millet to horses.
The exact cause of this trouble is un-
known, but it is generally agreed that
it comes from the seed. If the seed
was ripe at cutting time the horses
eating the hay are liable to kidney
troubles and swelling of the joints.
The amount of millet a horse Is al.
lowed to eat should be limited, espe.
cially if the hay has much seed. And
it should be fed along with some 9TH
er roughage, such as timothy or
clover.
Fattening cattle actually lose in
weight while standing on their feet.
Carefully conducted experiments have
shown that steer lying down uses
80 per cent less feed for maintenance
than the same steer while standing.

Reprint An Old Yarn.

The Washington newspapers, in
censed because Representative Ben
Johnson's committee has reported ia
vorably a bill doing away with the
half-and-half policy by which the gov
ernment supports the District of Co
lumbia, are all printing columns of
matter with this scare head: Ken
lucky owes nation big sum-" The
articles relate that Kentucky has
never repaid the sum of s1,433,757 de-
posted with it by the federal govern
ment in 1886 and quotes Treasurer
Burke, of the United States, as saying
that he will inquire whether the sum
can not be recovered"
Robert ]. Tracewell, former Con-
troller of the Treasury, said: "In 1886
the government had such a hugh sur
plus that it didn't know what to do
with it. Accordingly, it deposited
about $21, 10000 with the states then
in the union. The agreement was that
these states were to pay back the
money If the government ever request
ed it. Therefore, the states, including
Kentucky, have never paid. This is
an old yarn which is dug up ever so
often"
