it is in the lower valley it is necessary

Necessary Clippings.
IMPORTANT TO FEED
WORK HORSES WELL
Some Good Suggestions Offered
by Oklahoma Expert-AIfaIfa
Is Great Bone Producer.

There was time when anything
was good enough for the horse. Agri-
cultural conditions are gradually
changing. With the increase in farm
values, the increase in cost of grain,
and the increased cost of producing
feed grains as well as roughage, the
question of feeding the horse is be-
coming more important all the time,
says w. L. Blizzard of the department
of animal husbandry at Oklahoma A.
and NJ. college at Saltwater.
The question of combining feeds
that are economical is probably the
most important question at this time
On most farms some or all Of the fol-
lowing feeds are available for the
work horse: Corn, barley, oats, kafir,
bran, cottonseed meal, linseed oil meal,
alfalfa hay, oat straw, sudan hay,
prairie hay. timothy and clover hays.
A few suggestions by Mr.. Blizzard
for combining these feeds for horses
work horses or others-are as fol-
lows:
Corn and alfalfa hay are good
combination, but have a tendency to
heat the animal during hot weather.
Oats or bran will counteract this ten
dency. Corn, barley or kafir will give
better results If combined with bran
and cottonseed meal or oil meal. Oats
30 nf will
crease their efficiency. Oats alone is
d better feed than either corn, kafir or
barley. Oats and bran combined half
and half, are especially well suited for
brood mares and growing horses.
Bran is good conditioner. Cut straw,
alfalfa hay, sudan hay or prairie hay
can be added to grain mixture and
should constitute from 20 to % pounds
of 100-pound combination. These hays
when cut and mixed with the grain add
hulk to the ration and reduce the cost.
che mixture should be dampened with
oae-sixth water before feeding.
Alfalfa is a great bone producer.
When it is used, the amount of bran
can be reduced III q ration. 1t IS Il
mistake to fesd alfalfa one day and
some roughage the next.
A 1,500-pound work horse should re-
ceive Is pounds of the grain mixture
daily when at WORT, and about twelve
pounds of hay. He will not need so
much hay If cut hay is supplied in his
grain mixture.
Under ne circumstances should a
work horse have all the hay he will eat.
His capacity for roughage seems to
have no limit, and he may do himself
injury if allowed free access to an un-
limited supply

Poultry Flocks Smaller.

Reports recently gathered concern
ing 5,29S flocks of poultry on farms
and in small towns in all parts Of the
country show that the average number
Of hens per flock this year Is 107, as
compared with 146 in 1914 This in
formation, which was obtained by an
incubator manufacturer in the middle
West, indicates that shortage of sup
ply has been an important factor In
producing present high prices for poul-
try and eggs. 1t appears that very
considerable number of poultry raisers
have sacrificed many of their hens for
the sake of immediate profits--a policy
