full work horse has died from indi
gestion or colo, caused by eating {
full feed. of new corn before he hat
/ become accustomed to it.
| 1t would be better to buy some ole
corn or oats for the main portion o.
the ration and feed, the new corn, al
ear or two at feeding, for severa
days before allowing the horse an en-
tire meal of it.
Care May Save Loss
You may have fed new; corn tc
horses recklessly for many years
without serious effects. That does
not assure you that YOU can do il
again. 1t is better to be careful thar
to lose a valuable animal Moldy
corn is sure to cause trouble and
moldy new corn is. apt to be fed al
this time of year.
The farmer goes to the corn field
often with a sack for a supply Of
feed; the sack. of green ears is lett
sitting in the stable for few hours
and while. it may. not be apparent
the ears have nodded wherever they
touched each other before they are
fed. Perhaps the trip. to the corn
field is made with a wagon and
enough ears snapped off for two OF
three days feed. Part of this supply
is almost sure to mold before it is fed
!, When new corn is brought from
the field spread it out. Don't leave
one ear touching another if it can be
avoided. Better place them on a
Slated floor. Hogs and cattle can
eat new and moldy corn without ap.
parent injury. but this, is not true
with horses. -.,
Silage has often been condemn ed
as horse feed, yet silage is an excel
lent feed for horses if fed by a care
full feeder who always remembers
that horses are easily killed with a
sudden change Of feed or with
spoiled feed.
In feeding, silage, accu6tom the
horses to it gradually and never give
them silage taken from near the
doors of the silo. Nor is it a good
plan to feed them silage taken from
the outer edge of the silo where
there is apt to be mold.

die from digestive troubles at this
time of the year is great. Don't add
your horses to the list.

I Don't you know that a few choice
cows and few good sows rightly
managed will life the mortgage from
the farm quicker than it can be done
in any other way? They will also
build a modern nome, put in new fur.
niture, establish a water and lighting
plant and start you well on the high
way to prosperity. If you haven't
enough stock to consume all the feed
grown, experts advise borrowing mon
ey7 and buying moro.
