FEED FOR WORK
TEAM IN SUMMER
Bad Management 10 Stuff Horses
During Idle Season and
StarVe Them Later,

One Of the worst mistakes farmer
can make is to feed heavily during
the winter season, when work Is
slack. and TO feed slightly i summer
when work continues all day and
every day. Only last week says
writer in an exchange, | saw team
owned by a 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 | 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 III lHe iule sSaSOH "AiN
starving them at the very time that
they need the best care.
Just think a moment dear farmer,
of the plentiful food that the WON
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
plow. binder, mower or wagon, all
dav. and on insufficient feed!
There is no economy, or even busl-
ness sense in feeding sparingly dur
Ing the long, hot and busy summer
season. A pair of strong, fell-fed and
wellkept horses or mules will do the
work of any four head OF half-starved
ones you can pick up.

HOW COCA COLA REFREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale OF Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different Ways Some
have attributed il TO good advertis-
ing: others to efficient management
others, TO its delicious flavor and still
others to the fact that il was the first in
The field OF "trade-marked' soft drinks.
In this connection. the opinion of a
manufacturing chemist who has analyZ-
ed Coca Cola and studied its history for
many years will prove interfering. He
attributes the popularity OF the drink
in large part to its quality OF refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of fannie
acid from Coca.Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of Or Holling
worth of Columbia University and OF
DR.. II. G. Wood Jr of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the cat.
feline containing beverages coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola, etc } relieve mental and mus
Cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive 10 the
will. thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimuants in that the use Of
the latter is followed by period of de
preston which calls for more stimula'
ton. thus resulting in the formation OF
"habit."-Adv.

COST OF RAISING
AMERICAN HORSE
Average Is Found to Be S104.06
for United StateS-Intei-
esting Figures.

Reports have been received from
about 10000 correspondents of the
bureau of statistics OF the depart
ment of agriculture upon the cost cf
raising colts to the age of three
years. The average for the United
States is found to be $104.06; or, if
we deduct the value of work done by
the horse before he has passed his
third year, namely, 1852, the net cost
is $96.54; this is 70.9 per cent of
the selling value of such horses
$l3617.
The cost varies widely by states
from an average of S69.50 for New
Mexico, $7l.59 for Wyoming. and
$S2.47 for Texas, to $l5G60 for Rhode
Island $149.9S for Connecticut, and
S141.S0 for Massachusetts
Itemized. the cost is made up as fol
lows: Service fee, $12.96; value OF
time lost by mare in foaling, S1O06;
breaking to halter, $222; veterinary
services. $2.0l; care and shelter, first
year S496, second year $3.50, third
year $685.; most of grain, fed, first
year s49S, second year STA, third
year 1886, hay, first year $4.14, sec
ond year 1851, third year s4.4S; pas
ture first year $2.56, second year
$5.41, third year $6.2l; other costs,
Dol; total, s10406
The total cost for all feed is $3.50,
being $21 SO for grain, 1888 for hay,
$14.1S for pasture, and 1921 for other
feeds. The total cost of care and shell
ter is $1G.69. OF the total cost, 81
per cent is charged 70 feeds, l6 per
cent. to care and shelter; and 30 per
cent. to other items, as enumerated
above.
AS more than haif the cost of rails
ing a three-year horse on the farm
is chargeable to feeds, it is readily OBJ
served how important it is the infu-
ence of variation in prices of feed
stuffs upon such cost.
