ALFALFA HAY FOR HOGS.

New Mexico experiment station show
that when no pasture is available al

essary to enable the animal TO per.
form the required amount Of work Is
governed by several factors. The kind
OF work. the speed at which II is per.
formed. the age, weight and type of
the animal. the care exercised by the
driver, the adjustment OF harness and
load. climatic conditions. character of
feed, all have direct bearing In the
matter. Animals driven at high speed
and those doing heavy hauling and
other rough work, such as grading and
numbering. require more feed than
those doing ordinary farm or town
work.
Young growing animals require more
feed. in order to keep up the processes
Of growth and development. than AMI

kind and same amount of work.
In many instances lightweight ami

and numbering. Naturally the extra
effort required Of the lightweight AMI.

tional nourishment.
Feedstuffs that contain an excessive
amount Of woody or fibrous material
are difficult of digestion and dangerous
on account OF the likelihood OF caus-
ing obstruction OF the bowels. Bulky
and innutrtious foods are not fit for
work animals. Digestion Of such foods
may be carried on better by animals
standing at rest than those at work
Moldy. dirty or otherwise spoiled feeds
should not be given TO horses or mules
Such feeds are dangerous and often are
the direct cause OF serious illness and
death Of animals.
The best results are obtained by feed
Ing grain three times a day and rough
age once day. Divide the grain as
follows One fourth for morning, half
at noon. One-fourth at night. Roughage
Is preferably fed at nighttime.
Regular hours for feeding and work
