Ration For Work Horses.

In government tests Of feeds for
work horses. made with artillery horses
at Fort Riley, Kan, 1t has been found
that the cheapest ration and the
one which gave the largest gains
consisted of eight pounds Of corn, two
pounds Of oats and ten pounds Of al
falfa hay and cost 13 cents per head
per day. The tests were made with
ten lots of horses, with about seventy
Eve in each lot, and seven lots con-
tanning from seventeen to twenty
horses each. The gain made was 25.6
pounds per horse in 40 days.
A ration consisting Of oats, corn,
wheat bran and timothy hay In the
ratio Of 4:6:4:12 produced six pounds Of
gain in 120 days, and the animals
showed the best condition Of any In
the test, but the ration cost 10 cents
per day. Farm and Fireside

BODILY VICOR OF
DAIRY BRED COWS

1t is not unusual to hear sighting
remarks with reference to the cOnsti-
tuition Of dairy bred COWS. Not long
since we discussed this subject with
reader, says the Kansas Farmer. who
said that he believed that the every
day farmer was not justified in keep
ing pure bred stock; that three-fourths
or seven-eighths grades were about as
highly bred as q farmer should own.
Further inquiry developed the fact
that this man believed that as dairy
animals approached pure breeding
their constitution became weakened
and SO required the very best care and
even then were short lived. He gave
It as his opinion that the large. husky.
fat beef animal possessed the most
rugged and vigorous constitution. We
asked the question as to whether or not
this applied to the human family. The
gentleman Immediately saw the point
and began to sidestep.
Beef animals belong to what is
known as the lymphatic temperament.
This temperament is exemplifed in the
case Of f1eshy humans. Some Of such
persons as well as some Of such ami

KEEPING HOGS COOL.
Protection From the Suns Heat MAY
Easily Be Provided.

Protection From the Suns Heat May
Easily Be Provided.
The necessity for providing shade
and pure water in abundance for hogs
in summer Is overlooked by major
ity Of the swine growers throughout the
country-says H. T. Morgan in Country
Gentleman. 1t is astonishing to note
the negligence Of farmers in this mat
ter. Hogs having access to a wood lot
or an orchard will be amply provided
with shade Throughout the greatest
hog producing states. however, these
animals are pastured III open lots, and
there they will suffer greatly from heat
unless proper artificial shade Is pro-
vided
A cheap and efficient shade can be
erected in q few hours and at no ex
pense, aside from the labor involved.
by setting six or nine forked posts In
the ground to support some old fence
rails which may be covered with few
armloads Of brush and then covering
the whole with a load Of old straw.
This makes an excellent shade and Is
preferable to one Of boards, as the
straw roof is far cooler than one Of
lumber. The shade should be open on
all sides and should be built at the
highest point in the field. In order to
take advantage Of every breeze. The
loss of hogs from overheating is very
great, and such losses can be guarded
against only by affording the animals Il
retreat from the sun in hot weather.
Right here word Of advice about
treating an overheated hog. Never
pour cold water on the animal; pour it

under him. A hog that is on the ground
and not too far gone will respond to
treatment if water is supplied in this
manner. Never attempt to drive an
overheated hog. If possible, after sup
plying some water, erect temporary
shade. such as a blanket or sheet sup
ported by a couple Of poles. On ex-
tremely hot days 1t is an excellent plan
to pour q barrel Of water under the
shade which has been built for the
hogs. and this will afford much COM
fort for the entire herd throughout the
day.
The greatest care should be e1ercis-
ed In preventing the hogs from having
access to streams which may have been
subject to disease germs. Under no
circumstances should hogs be allowed
to run in fields opening on large
streams. The prevalence Of cholera
in past seasons has taught many

score of herds of diseased hogs.
In supplying we'll water to the ami
mails 1t is easy to make provision
against their getting their supply
filthy. There are number Of COM
mercial hog waterers which are mex
pensfve and are admirable. These
may be attached to water line or to
stock tank or a barrel. They are
fitted with float valve which auto
matically keeps the drinking vessel
full The drinking vessel is small and
does not admit Of the hogs getting
their feet into it. Where a barrel Is
used for supplying the animals it is
advisable to add a handful Of lime to
the barrel Of water, since this will rem
der it more palatable after becoming
heated by the sun. Stagnant water Is
wholly unfit for hogs, and it is unwise
to allow them to have access to places
where 1t exists.

mails do have vigorous constitutions,
showing that the constitution does not
follow or depend upon the size or the
amount of flesh carried. The dairy
cow belongs to what is known as the
nervous temperament and which cor
responds with the same temperament
In humans. Such temperament does
not indicate nervousness, but IS the
temperament applied to humans as
well as to animals, spare in physical
makeup Humans built OH this plan
are often extremely vigorous. The size
or the amount of flesh carried Is not at
all an indication Of constitution.
= There is only one test Of constitution.
and that Is the amount Of work the
animal is able to do and stand up un-
der the strain. In the case Of the beef
animal this is the amount Of flesh 1t
Is able to put on as result or the
amount Of feed it consumes. If the
beef COW is vigorous animal, eats
heartily, grows fat and so Is not sus-
-ceptible to disease we may say she
has q vigorous constitution. II, on the
other hand, she is not anxious for her
feed, is finicky In the selection Of her
feed, she Is regarded as lacking In con-
stitution.
The same condition applies exactly
to dairy cows, the size Of the frame or
the quantity Of meat on that frame not
being q consideration. The fact is
that the dairy cow in the production
Of dairy products has strain on her
animal body which Is in no manner
eQualed by the beef animal. If she
were weak constitutionally she would
not be able to withstand this strain.
The life Of the dairy animal is as long
as that Of the beef animal, and there
Is no evidence whatever to show that
dairy animals do not have constitu-
tion in every respect equal to beef anil
mails. 1t is a fact that in the very
makeup Of the dairy animal she is not
able to resist cold rain and sleet to the
same extent that the animal clad with
q thick coat Of fat and beef is. II In
the handling Of the dairy herd 1t is the
intent Of the farmer to expose his cows
to the rigor Of the elements, then he
will find that his thin and spare dairy
animals will not resist the elements as
do the beef animals He will find at
the same time, too. that he will not
get milk from the dairy animals kept
under such conditions.

HORSE LORE.

Apples or carrots cut up and a
handful of meal and one OF
shorts thrown over them make
an ideal ration for a horse once
a day. The other feed may be
oats.
1t Is a shame to let a horse get
q sore shoulder in the first place
and ten times more shameful to
work him after he gets in that
condition.
Collars should never be swap
ped from one horse to another.
Do not put the colts in a pas
ture fenced with barbed wire. A
barbed wire cut always leaves a
scar. A scar always takes the
value OF young horse.
Watch the necks Of the young
horses particularly and II they
shrink with the first spring work

them refitted. but don't use
