and protection against rains and cold
winds. Winter winds come mostly
from the north and northwest, and the
shed should be so situated and con-
structed as to give the proper protec-
ton from this quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses the high
priced feeds should be avoided In order
to keep them in proper condition at the
lowest cost. 1t has been found that
idle horses do very well on a winter
feed consisting of all the hay, oat
straw, cornstalks or sorghums they win
consume, so that little grain is neces-
sary. 1dleness also permits of a more
thorough mastication of the feed, thus
insuring proper digestion.
From six to eight weeks before the
spring work is started the horses should
be put at light work and started ON a
small grain ration in order that they
may be in proper condition for the
work required of them. The grain ra-
ton may then be gradually increased
until the regular allowance has been
reached for the working season.
Growing colts require considerable
protein. They should be SO fed as to
secure proper development and at a
minimum cost. Rough feed, such as
clean mixed hay, alfalfa or clover, may
be fed along with a mixture of bran,
oats and corn.

nous effect, not only In this country,
but throughout the world.
1t may be said that Maury laid the
foundation for our modern weather bu-
reau and that the science of meteor
ology began with him. He founded
the national nautical observatory and
the photographic Office In Washington
and discovered, among other things,
the cause Of the gulf stream and the
existence of that plateau In the north
Atlantic ocean which, If am not mis-
taken, made possible the laying of the
first Atlantic cable. Cyrus w. Field said
with reference to this, "Maury furnish
ed the brains, England the money, and
l did the work" Further than this,
the charts of the north Atlantic which
Maury made years ago are today the
basis upon which that ocean is navi-
gated by all nations.

decorated by many foreign govern
ments, he was never given so much as
a cheap little medal by that of the
United States, and that his name has
not been kept alive by any memorial or
other token Of his country's gratitude.
