, Feed I ii ; Homes.
It might be said that grass 13 the
natural .ration for the horse, but when
confined to a barn and also when
, worked, the animal needs a more
strengthening and nutritious food. To
feed properjy there must be a mixed
diet. The intention of the food is to
supply heat and muscle, but not an
oversupply of fat.
The quantity of food given should be
based on the amount of work the horse
has done the more work the greater
the amount of food that should be
given. '
The foods that are generally fed are
hay, grass, corn, oats, barley, rye,
bran, carrots, turnips and apples. Of
the grains oats is best, with corn sec
ond, but bpth are improved if fed in a
crushed state. Oats build up the mus
cles, make blood and put nerve and
endurance in the horse. On account
of the price, oats are not generally
used, and in such cases care must be
taken that the hay given is rather
rich in protein.
Corn and timothy hay are of a heat
ing nature and hard on the digestion,
causing the animal to perspire free
ly. If corn is liberally used, some
bran, with clover or some well-cured
pea-vine hay, or clover with corn, will
help balance up the ration and keep
the digestive organs in a healthy state.
In feeding green food care must be
taken.
Average Milk.
It has been shown that 100 pounds
of average milk contains about 87

TftltV Care of (lie Orchard.
Now and then we hear tJf farmers
with an apple orchard who cannot sea
that It will pay them to take good
cure of it, says the Rural New York
er. In one case a farmer sold apples
enough from his orehard to buy him
ten good cows for his dairy, yet he
cannot see that it would pay him to
spray and prune the trees. There It
some scale in this orchard, and the
fruit Is usually wormy. Taken In hand
now with oil and later with arsenic
for the Codling worm this orchard
would give the easiest money on the
farm. We would like to shake such
men up and let them see the future.
The demand for good apples is sure to
increase, while bearing trees are not
keeping pace with the demand. Young
trees are being planted, while many
orchards are dying through lack ol
care. Do not, under any circumstances,
neglect good apple trees. Stay by
them with all the care you can muster.

half the grain by reason of the fact
that it is thrown over the top of the

The nose bag shown in the accom

is designed to overcome this trouble.
The feed supply is contained in a res

of the milk depends largely upon the
cows producing it. Both Jerseys and

the cream quickly rises. Durhamsand

Poultry Prollta.
The cost of food required to produce
a pound of beef, pork or chicken does
not differ greatly, although chicken
sells for 12 to 20 cents a pound by
the carcass, while other meats sell at
from 4 to 8 cents, -This difference is
further increased on the farm from
the fact that poultry picks up a good
deal of material that would otherwise
go to waste, as well as numerous in
sects that should be destroyed, so that
much of their food should not really
be figured as expense at all.
But there Is a greater risk of los3
In raising chickens and the cost of
labor per pound of finished product is
more than with sheep or hogs. Then
you must credit eggs produced, which
complicates the problem until you get
a headache. The net returns, accord
ing to capital invested and cost of
maintenance, however, leaves a greater
profit from poultry than any other
farm live stock. If a farmer would
keep close account of the income from
his poultry, including the amount of
eggs and butter consumed at home, he
would be surprised at the returns.

The shoulders and neck of the horse
will be tender when heavy spring work
is started. Then, too, the horses are
covered with a heavy coat of hair,
which will cause them to perspire eas
ily. This makes It very necessary to
Keep close watch on the shoulders and
neck where the collar rubs.
- The collar should be a perfect fit;
one too large is more dangerous than
one a little small. The inside of the
collar should be scraped each morning
before it is again put upon the horse.
The harness should be oiled before
spring work is begun, so that it will
be soft and pliable. It is a good plan
to bathe the shoulders with cold wa
ter every night after the harness Is
removed. You will also find that it
will pay to remove the harness while
the horse is eating his dinner. Ex.
