FEED RATIONS.
fho Kind and Quality of Food Rwjulrad
far Working IIorsM.
Of the many millions of hones on
farm and elsewhere in this country. It
U certain that a large portion lose
much of their effectiveness from lack
of proper feeding. This is especially
true of farm horses, which are more
commonly fed with that which is most
easily secured or least easily sold, rath
er than whn that which carefully con
ducted experiments have shown to be
the best and cheapest. In the food of
boivei at active work the best will al
most always prove the cheapest, be
cause tho efficiency of a team is paral
leled by that of the men engaged in
using it. Farmers who complain of
dear help can not afford to keep it era
ployed either in iiBing a poor team or
one so badly fed that its natural effi
ciency is seriously .inpairad.
This subject has received most atten
tion from the managers of the street
car companies, city liveries und omni
bus owners, who all depend for their
profit on the cheapness and effective
ness of the'r team labor. Some of
the e have made many exp:r'ments in
iecding. and the result of these can be
profitably studed by farmers. The
work of street-car horses is more se
vere than is found at long times on the
farm. A horse that will thrive and do
cood work on hard paved streets can
be trusted with the same feed ng any
where. In fact, fa lure is never allowed
to arise from imperfect feeding. As
long as a horse's feet stand soundly
under him he can do a full day's work.
All this is done with street-car corapa
n es on a daily ration of sixteoa pounds
of ground corn and oats, mixed with
sixteen poumU of tincly cut hay for a
horse weighing 1,200 pounds. This ra
tion is varied somewhat to suit the in
dividual peculiarities ot different ani
mals. There are large and small eaters
among horses as among human beings,
but on the average this will be suffi
cient for horses of this weight.
Most farmers feed more heavily than
this and with a much greater propor
tionate increaso in bulk. . This consti
tutes a very common mistake in feed
ing. Kelying largely on hay to furnish
nutriment, the strength required to bo
exerted can not be hud without so largo
bulk as greatly to impede the horse s
freedom ot movement. We have known
farmers to feed more than tw ce as
much hay as is given in th's tation,
while diminishing the grain to tho low
est po nt or even giving none at all.
The horse, of cour.-e, cau live on hay;
but it is very unprofitable food to be
given him while at work. If hay is
given in excess at other t'.mss, or as
the main portion of his food, it will
cause unnatural, distention of .the
stomach, which will impa r h!s ellio en
cy afterward.
Ground grain is the cheapest form in
which nutriment ca:i ba given to work
ing horses. But to produce tho best
effect it should bo mixed with cut hay,
not to give greater bulk, for this the
horse's stomach does not require, but
to make the food more porous in the
Ftomach, so that the gastric juices may
more freely work through it Meal
alone, especially of corn which ha
scarcely any chaff, will compact in the
stomach and be less easily digest ble.
The heavy chaff of oats is one of the
reasons why this grain is so valuable
for horse feed. Another is the oat
abounds in n'trogenousormuscie-'orm-ing
food, and is therefore worth more
per pound where strength s required
than corn or oil meal, whose chief con
stituents are carbonaceous or fat-pro-duc'ns.
Regard must be had to tho kind of
work to be done. Liverymen, whose
horses are required to make fast time
on the road, feed more concentrated
food than the managers of street oar
horses. Uemember.ng that porousness
of the food in the stomach is all that is
neoded to insure good digestion, the
meal ration may be proportion If in
creased. Just eno.igh hay cut up to
keep the mass of food porous, like a
sponge, is sufficient If oats are ground
alone, the hull of the oat will furnish
so much of bulk that little
cut bay will be needed, and
for a pait of this wheat bran may
bo substituted. Four or tivo pounds
of hay per day may t.ius bo mado ti
Ferve to givo bulk to a m.xiure 01 con
centrated food, consisting of torn and
oatmeal ground together with an addi
tion of bran, and perhaps a small quan
tity of oil meal, say a quarter to one
half pound of the latter in each feeding.
Tho bran and meal are excellent to
keep the bowels in good condition,
though just at the times of severe work
tho oil meal had bitter be omitted. It
is wiser policy to keep the bowels
working freely by judicious feeding,
rather than to allow tho horse to be
come constipated and then dose w.th
physic. There is much more virtue in
bran and wheat middl ngs as food for
working horses than is "commonly sup
posed. In many places bran is sold as
cheaply by the ton as hay. For giving
strength it is more valuable pouud for
pouud, and it is nearly as good as cut
nay as a divisor of more concentrated
nutriment. Wheat middlings are also
excellent, but they need to te mixed
with a larger bulk of cut feed to insure
compaction in the stoma h. If hay
can not easily be obtained straw w.ll
answer as a divisor, though the quanti
ty of hay absolutely required is so
' rau.-h le s than is generally used th:it a
very little wdl sullieo for a horse's food
during the working season, pro.idcd
grain or meal can be had in abundance.
Owners of horses in cities have long
learned economy in the use of hay feel,
which might be profitably imitated by
many farmers. Having to buy every
thing that they feed, city people kooh
learn to calculate closely as to rompar
aiive cost and efficiency of feed. Too
many farmers act as if hny was pro
duced with little or no expense. Should
they reckon the interest on high-priced
land and the labor in securing the crop,
they might easily find their home-grown
hay the costliest feed their teams could
eat M.ost farmers are averse to sellirg
hay, which is usually proper enough,
as this has a tendency to exhaust their
Foils, but they have no such prejud ce
against sellirg the coarser g ains that
Uke from the toil a greater vah e than
t ic r ume we ght of the best timotbv
Lav Hence they feed hay and sell
C-a' n under the nJjtaken notion that
this is tha best way to maintain the
fertility of their farms. Tlioy should
know and consider that the manure
from a ton of wheat bran or wheat
middlings, contains more of the valu
able elements of plant food than the
manure from a ton of t mothy hav.
We are not advising farmers to sell
hay, but a plan of feeding which sub
st.tutos gra n or wheat middlings for
less valuable feed will enable them to
get more work from their teams, make
more valuable manure from their stock,
and thm enable them to do better farm
ing in every respect American Culti-cator.
FEAThERS.
Ihe Various Cses to Which They Arc
pllrd Tho Trade In New York.
What a marvel of skill and beauty Is
comprised in the mechanism and adap
tation of feathers, and yet how little
are these points regarded by those who
wear them and throw them carelessly
aside! Few persons ever have any con
ception of the extent of the trade and
the capital involved in the collect'on,
commerce and preparation of these ex
tensive spoils from the feathered tribes
which are now so eagerly sought for
by merchants and traders, who pate
the skins of feathers into the ultimas-
sier's hands, to be prepared for the use
of tho ladies; for the fair sex secure the
most clio ce and costly for themselves,
although they have not the exclusive
use - of feathers, as military eagle
plumes w.ll testify.
In New York c ty alone there are
about one hundred persons largely and
spec ally engaged in feathers, as im
port ng merchants, dealers, feather
manufacturers, plumassicrs, natural
ists, etc. The declared valuo of the
foreign feathers as received was in 1874
a little over $2,270,000. Fashion
causes great changos. To what var.ous
uses noes the ue .trover now applv the
covering of birds in different countries
tor quills and leathers in the arts and
industry, for upholstery purposes, for
adornment of the person, or for more
absolute clothing in garments, whethet
as muds or cuffs. "As light as a feath
er," has passed into a proverb, and the
commerce in bird skins and leathers,
extensive and valuable as it is, is nei
ther bulky nor ponderous. The largest
quill of tne golden eagle weighs only
sixty-live grains, and tho entire plu
mage ol an owl out an ounce and a
half, whde the feathers of a common
fowl of two pounds and a quarter will
only weigh throe ounces.
In the ostrich both barbs and bar
bulcs are long, soft silky and . apart,
and the barbulcs thus disposed charac
terize that form of the feather called
a plume, and which constitutes in a
commercial point of view the most val
uable product of b.rus.
The natural color of feathers is pro
duced by the internal arrangement of
tho colorless plates of horny matter
and not by a iy p'gment. This is also
tho cause of tiie iridescence of varying
shades of color on some beetles' w.ugs
and nacreous shells. - The different
thickness of tho horny fibers interferes
with the 1 glit and produces the play
of colors. Almost any artificial color
can. however, be given to feathers by
dyes, and taste, skill and artistic ar
rangement have done much to supple
ment the rich natural beauties of the
stolen plumes we appropriate so reck
lessly. The principal foathers entering into
commerce into any quantity are those
of the ostr.eh, vulture (so called i,
egret, osprev.'goose, swan, turkey and
Seacock. Ihe chief downs are eider
own, goose down, swan's down ar.d
estridge or ostrich down. The feathers
and down of many other birds are
used, but are of less importance. Al
though horsehair, woolen flocks and
a numb r of vegetable stuffing mate
rials have come into extensive use, the
feather bed as an article of luxurious
ease still holds its own in many circles.
The dressed feathers chiefly used are
those of tho white, gray and common
goose, and what are termed in the
trade poultry feathers, which include
those of turkeys, ducks and fowls. 'J o
fill a small-sized three-foot bed-t ck and
pillows about twenty-seven pounds of
feathers are necessary, according to
tho kind used; of poultry feathers the
most are required.
It has been aptly observed that a
love for feathers is among the prett est
vanities, the daintiest whims ol men
and women, i rora a str.ctly pu lo
sophical po nt of view it may be con
sidered exceedingly absurd to rob a
bird ot his clothes, and use them as
additional adornments to our own at
tire, liut fashion, both in savage and
aivlized circles, enforces strange va-
