FEED FOR THE FARM HORSES
BY Selecting Only Good Hay the DAN
ger Of HeaYes Is Avoided
Natural Grain Ic Oats.

Ry c. l. BARNES Colorado Agricultural
College.)
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.
flt 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 we'll ma
tured and not mouldy. Bran has
very little nourishment in it but
serves as 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
It q practice to feed the farm horse
after It 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 OF, 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.

type is equipped with watering trough

Some ranchers ind 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 It needs 1t the most while
eating the dry hay.

MoIfIno Is Natural.

The molting of fowls is natural
lprocess 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

s. Because. while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown In GER

for table use or layers Of eggs In any

Sheep should be fed regularly in the
