FEED FOR THE FARM HORSES
BY Selecting Only Good Hay the Dan
ger Of Heaves 10 Avoided
Natural Grain .e Oats.

Ry c. l. BARNES. Colorado Agricultural
Coliege.)
The feed for the farm horse should
be of as good quality as that given
to higher priced animals used in the
cities, or on the race track. The ques-
ton Of mode of feeding Is an import
ant factor in keeping the farm horse
healthy. Most Of the hay should be
fed at night when the horse has
plenty of time to eat The hay should
be of good quality. All mouldy or
musty hay should be rejected as un-
fit for feed. BY selecting only good
hay the danger Of heaves is avoided.
The most natural grain for the horse
Is oats. The oats should be well ma
tured and not mouldy. Bran has
very little nourishment in 1t but
serves as a bowel regulator. II a
quart Of bran is fed each animal
with the oats the danger Of collie is
lessened.
Whenever possible one should make
1t practice to feed the farm horse
after 1t has had 80 minutes or an
hour to rest before trying to digest its
concentrated food. In other words
let the farm horse eat little hay
while warm and after 1t has entirely
dried on, water and grain. During c
resting period feed more bran than
oats. Then there will be less danger
Of azotoria after the horse Is put
back to work.
A well-regulated barn OF modern
type is equipped with watering trough
IN the barn. II possible all horses
should have an opportunity Of drink
ing pure water at any time while IL
the barn, IL the horse Is not too warm.
Some ranchers find 1t a paying prop
osition to set a pail Of water in for
each horse before retiring. This gives
the horse an opportunity to have wa
ter when 1t needs 1t the most while
eating the dry hay.

S. Because. while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER

for table use or layers OF eggs In any
and every part of the country and at
ial seasons.
6. Because poultry raising is an en-
;ployment in which the farmers wife
can engage and leave him free to at
tend to other departments Of farm
work.
Z. Because 1t will bring the best re-
suits in the shape OF new-)aid eggs

The value of regular feeding has

MoIting Is Natural.

! The molting Of fowls is a natural
process and not disease, and no med
ical treatment Is necessary or desir-
able. Feed molting fowls just as you
would feed them at any other time,
only remembering that molting is
done during hot weather and less
carbonaceous food should be given
than wnen the weather Is cool. Oats,
wheat, cut clover or alfalfa or any
leguminous feeds may be used more
because the weather is warm than
that fowls are molting. Any sort OF
green food is good; so are beets, tur-
nips, bulbs or tubers Of any sort that
they will eat. They should have lit
