Digest.
In England 90 per cent. Of all the
farmers use cut feed. only ten per
cent. being adverse to the use Of the
cutter.
The feed cutter is particularly bene-

Chopped feed IL particularly good
for work herses when they have but
a comparatively short time in which
to feed. A horse is unable to masti-
cate a sufficient amount of roughage
within a few minutes, and where the
feeding time is shortened by stress OF
work, the feed should always be
chopped
These machines can be run BY
power or hand, and are SO inexpen
siye that the cost is no reason why
every farmer should not avail him

der the table, too, to remind you that
there wasn't any?"
Smith looked at her.
1T wasn't me you kicked, my
