Winter Feeding Of Horses

There are many points in the win
ter feeding of horses. Only sound
clean feeds should be used. Dusty
and moldy feed is practically sure
to give trouble of a serious nature.
Sudden changes either in the kind or
amount of feed are dangerous.
Changes in rations should be made
gradually. Each animal should be
fed according to it's needs. Idle
horses do not require as much or the
same kind of feed as when at work.
Horses give best results when fed a
ration composed of a variety of feeds.
Lack of proper exercise increases the
problem of feeding. Work, saddle
and driving horses will lot overdrink
if watered frequently. The ideal is
to keep pure, fresh water before the
horses in the stables or on pasture
and to water work animals several
times during the day. Salt should be
kept before the horses at all times.
Remember that the horses can be
Overfed as well as underfed on both
grain and hay. 1t is a common prac-
tice to overfeed farm horses on hay.

Montanans Not uliterate

Five states-Montana, Idaho, Wy
oming, Utah and Washington-had
less illiteracy among their native
white population in 1920 than any
other states, it was shown in figures
made public today by the census bu-
reau.
The native white population of
those five states classed as illiterate,
namely, unable to read or write,
amounted to three-tenths of one per
cent. The District of Columbia had
the same per cent and South Dakota,
Nevada and Oregon ranked next, each
with four-tenths of one per cent.
The state of New Mexico had the
greatest illiteracy among its native
white population in 1920, the per-
centage being 11.6.
Among the foreign white popula-
ton the largest percentage was 1913
for Texas and the smallest At for
South Dakota and Washington. The
percentage of illiteracy among negro
population ranged from 1875 per cent

Gull Out Non-Producers

Every boy or girl having poultry
naturally wishes to earn as much
money as possible. To do this every
hen should be a good layer. All
~cockerels, except those kept for
breeding purposes, is well as pullets
that lack vigor and vitality, should be
eaten, canned for home use, or sold
as soon as they r large enough. Sell
Getting or wedding OUT the hens that
are poor layers and picking out for
market the cockerels least likely to
develop into good breeders is COM
monty called ~"culling," or culling for
eggs and for market.

The foolish man 7vho built
his house on the sand

He gave an example in folly which anybody
can understand.
1t isn't so easy, however, to sense the mistake
OF trying to build the body on foods which lack
essential nourishment.
Here, again, is a foundation of sand which
gives way when the test comes.
Many a food that tastes good lacks honesty
of nourishment to equal its taste. Thus it tempts
the appetite into mistakes that often are costly.
Grape-Nuts is food which helps build bodily
endurance for 1ifes stress and storm. The full
nourishment of wheat and matted barley. together
with the vital mineral salts so necessary to bone
structure and red blood corpuscles, with phos-
pilates for the brain, is retained in Grape-Nut3.
The long baking process by which Grape-Nuts is
made gives the food a natural sweetness and an
unusual ease Of digestibilty and assimilation.
Served with cream or milk, Grape-NutS is
fully nourishing, and whether eaten as a cereal at
breakfast or lunch, or made into a pudding for
dinner. Grape-Nuts has a particular delight for
the appetite. Sold by grocers.
