If the farmer tries to listen to and heed
adays he will not have time to eat, drink,
sleep, work or think. 1t is a tribute to his
usefulness, of course, and substantial and
successful farmer tells The News that the
horney-handed are appreciative-duly So
"But don't rush the advice too heavy" he
says, "for you confuse us. Give us a chance,
and we will try to handle our work to the
best advantage of our country, and incident
ally take care of our own interests" And
we think that is fair view Of the situation
from the standpoint Of the farmer.

WINTERING IDLE HORSES

At this time of the year practically
all the heavy work on most farms has
been finished, and during the winter
horses are more or less idle. Since
idle horses give no return in labor
performed, the feeding should be as
economical as possible, and proper
care should be taken of the animals in
order that they may be in the best
possible condition for work in the
early spring.
Horses should not be confined to
the barn during the winter on lib
eral supply of grain. 1t is far better
to rough" them through the cold
months. They should be given the
run of the yard or lot during the day.
This should be provided with a. pro-
tected shed, one that is thoroughly
dry and we'll provided with bedding.
While nature does her part and pro-
tects the horse with heavy coat of
hair during the cold months, the
shed is necessary in order to afford
the necessary shelter and protection
