GIVING THE HORSES A DRINK
Cold Water Is Quite Injurious and
Should Not Be Given on Hot Days
Safe Plan Outlined.

How horses have died through get
ting drink of cold water when they
were overheated, on a hot day, is
something that we have all often
heard. 1t is something that has hap
pened and, when care and Judgment
are not exercised, it will probably hap
pen again. But no one hesitates about
taking a drink himself on hot days.
and generally the results are not un-
pleasant, and seldom serious.
When horses are working hard in
hot weather, it is never wise to allow
them to stop and fill up on cold wa
ter. But light drink, taken in the
middle of the forenoon and the, after
noon, will do them good, not harm.
There is no better way than to take
a pail to the field, and also a double
handful of meal. Fill the pail with
water and allow it to stand with the
meal mixed in it, until the middle of
the halliday period, and then allow
each horse to drink the half of it. This
will be found not only a safe thing,
but a very beneficial one as well, as
it will refresh the team very much and
help them to withstand the long, hot
days of hard labor with far less loss
of flesh or of condition than they
would otherwise sustain.

HORSES AND MULES FOR WAR
Many Animals Not Particularly Need
ed on Farms Have Been Purchased
by European Nations.

(By E. A. TROWBRIDGE. Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station.l
The European nations now at war
have purchased many Missouri horses
and mules, which are not particularly
needed. OF course, they have obtained
some good animals, but many of them
have not been of the best, and most
of the mules bought were full aged.
The older mules were bought because
they could stand the trip across the
Atlantic better than the younger ones.
Some good cavalry horses were OBJ
tanned.
A few horse dealers have predicted
high market price a short time aft
er the close of the war. They are
of the opinion that most of the horses
now being purchased in this country
will be killed, and that soldiers will
need many animals on returning to
their farms. l believe that the mar
ket will be good. but l do not predict
any exceedingly high prices. This
country will be able to supply any de-
mands. A different situation might
arise, if the war continues for more
| than year.
Between 250,0O0 and 100000 horses
and $4,000 and $4,000 mules were
contracted for in this country. and the
loss of these animals to the United
States only means the taking away o.
those produced between January l
1914, and January l, 1915. With {
similar increase during the presen
year, we would be able to supply ;
considerable number of horses an'
mules

with increased difficulty and added la
bor
The robin is found throughout the
greater portion of the United States,
the range of the species extending
into Canada and even Alaska 81
While for the most part migratory
in the northern half of the country,
individuals remain all winter in many
localities where shelter and food are
assured. In eastern Massachusetts
and at some places farther west there
are cedar swamps which offer an
abundant supply of wild fruit, and
robins remain throughout the winter
in large numbers. Most of the spe-
cies, however, spend the winter from
latitude 40 degrees northward as soon
as snow disappears. They arrive in
New England in the latter part of
March or early In April, and in the
northern states of the Mississippi val
ley somewhat earlier. 1t is difficult
to say just when fall migration begins,
as the first birds to leave are replaced
by others from farther north.
Reports of depredations upon fruit
by birds come principally from the
prairie regions of the West. This is
Just what might be expected. for but
few prairie shrubs produce the wild
berries that the birds prefer and for
lack of these the birds naturally feed
upon the cultivated varieties availa-
BILE. Reports of fruit losses caused
by birds in the East are usually from
the immediate vicinity of villages and
towns where there is no natural fruit
bearing shrubbery. From this it fcl
lows that an effective remedy for the
ravages of birds upon cultivated fruits
is to plant the preferred wild varie
ties. OF the number of plants which
bear fruit preferred by the robin, many
are ornamental and are easily OBJ
| tanned. The following are a few O.
the plants the robins are fond Of
Blackberries and raspberries, cherries
wild black cherries, china berries, flow
ering dogwood, blueberries, persim
mons, Mississippi hackberries, western
hackberries, mulberries, cat brier
green brier, red cedar, pokeberries
smooth sumac, pepper berries, Ameri
can holly. woodbine, black gum, an
others.
Investigation of the food of 1928
robins from 42 states, D. c., and thre
Canadian provinces, showed that 42.4
per cent of their food was animal ma
ter, and $3.50 per cent vegetable.
the latter more than 80 per cent col
sisted of fruit, more than four-fifth
of which were wild species
While the robin today probably i

percentage of fruit, may at any tim

of harmful insects, instead of KILN

FRIEND OR AN ENEMY?
Robin Is One of Best Helpers OF
Farmer and 0rchardist.
Damage Dore by Little Feathered
Songsters, If Any, May Be Re-
duced to Minimum-Useful In
Reducing Insect Life.
(By f. L. BEALL.)


Few native American birds are more
universally cherished than are the
robins. On esthetic grounds alone
they receive free protection, partly
from the romance that clusters about
them in story and legend and partly
because of their graceful shape and
movement, bright color and pleasing
song, and close association with man
and his works.
Investigation discloses that in addi-
tion to their pleasing qualities robins
perform a very useful function in
reducing the hordes of insect life con-
stantly prying upon the crops of the
farmer. In this work a large part of
their food consists of insects and they
feed their young upon them almost
exclusively. 1t is recognized that
birds are one of the necessary checks
provided by nature upon the increase
of the vast number of insects pro
duced each year; that without them
there would be a greater destruction
of vegetation, and that certain crops
of the farmer regularly maturec
would, if raised at ALL be raised only

SUNLIGHT A GERM DESTROYER
posaI-Southern Exposure Is De-
sIrabIe In Buildings.

Sunlight is natures great germ de-
stroyer. 1t is the cheapest disinfect-
ant at mans disposal and should be
tsKen advantage of at every opportu-
,ity.
In the construction of barns or
shelters of any kinds for animals, .
says H. Preston Hoskins of Minnesota
College of Agriculture, in extension
bulletin No. "A, ample provision
should be made for the admission of
the maximum amount of sunlight. A
southern exposure is desirable; that
is, an arrangement by which most of
the windows face south. The warmth
thus provided in cold weather is de-
sirable and much of the heat of sum
mer can be avoided by the use of cur
tains or screens.
Most disease germs are entirely
killed by direct sunlight. This has
been repeatedly shown by expert
ments."
The farmer should bear this in mind
in building his barn, stable, hog house
or poultry house.

1t sometimes happens that a clover
field will run out, so to speak, or get
thin, and when such is the case a plan
is to sow more clover seed in early
spring and cut it in thoroughly with a

grows the better, for this will keep
the weeds out and the soil will be rich
