C. ie | RATIONS FOR WORK HORSES If a teamster is to get. a profitable retuem from hig horses, and to keep them in good condition for their work, care must be taken in preparing and feeding a suitable ration. Many mix- tures ‘and rates of fediug have been tried and compared at the Dominion Experimental Farm; and it has been found that a grain mixture ‘of five parts of whole oats, two parts bran, fed at the rate of 1 pound per one hun- dred pounds of live weight in the horse is a safe grain ration for horses at moderate. work. As. fodder, either clean timothy or mixed timothy and clover should be fed-at a rate of about ane potund per one hundred pounds of live weight. During the season of heavy work the proportion of bran may safely be reduced to one half, and the ration inereased to one and a quarter pounds of the mixture per one hund- red pounds of live weight. A good feeding practice to follow is to feed three-eighths of the days grain mixture and qrarter of the days hay in the early morning and ngain at mid day, For the the evening meal the ra. tian given is one quarter of the! total grain mixture antl one half of the days hay. When this plan is followed the horses, go to work comfortable and but little danger of digestive trouble ow- ing to distended stomachs while at work, On doys that the horses are idle the gain ration is reduced onehalf and bran mashes are given on Satur- day night. and on nights previous to ocersional idle days, In the feeding of driving horses the same general: precautions may safely he. followed, with the exception that they should be fed more sparingly. Feed roots when grain cannot be had Carrots ave perhaps most desirable, sugar beets, turnips and mangels are relished and useful. From three to six pounds of roots per day for Rorses at- light work and less quantities or none at all while heavy werk is being performed is recommended, Watering is hest done before feeding, with, it necessury, a moderate dring before go- Not a week p Their “representatives tell _ Ib is, ailmitted that it is advantage: ‘ous to you and your customers far you to stock : nationally advertised products but such products will sell faster if they are locally advertised in the Om- ineca Herald, in addition to being ad- vertised in nou-local publications. .

FEEDING BROODER CHICKS AS soon as the chicks are removed from the incubator to the brooder they may be fed, but they will do nicely for a day or so longer. After seeing to it that the chicks are confortable they should be given slightly warmed water to drink in the usual chick fountains. Chick-size grit should be placed before them in shallow - pans, ‘and hoppers of mash may then be put before them, It is important that sufficient hopper aud fountain spnce be provided so that «11 chicks may get sufficient food and water withont. crowding. Once the hoppers ire put down they ave not re- moved again as there ix no dunger of overfeeding. Brooding feeds usunily consist of the followlng ‘essentials; chick scratch grain, mash, evit, shell, charcoal and green feed, Tor grain un commercial thick size mixture muy be purchased and it is not usually fed for a week or ten days. ‘The mash ordinarily -will contain ground grains, mineral’ feeds, such as bone ineal, animal feeds, such as meat meal, fish meal, milk powder, ete, salt, and-cod liver oil. Unless the ¢hicks have access to simybine within wisdom to insist that cod Hyer oil be i component of the mash if a conmier” clul product is fed. A very’ satisfactory bome mixed mash may be composed of the follow- ing :—one part exch ‘of shorts, middling yellow corn -meal and ground oat groat with one half -part of animal feeds made up of meat meal, fish meal, but- termilk powder and bone meal in ‘equal proportions. These ingredients’ may be vinted in proportion according to cost and avatlabitity of the different feeds, the bone meal, however, remain- ing at the same level. In addition to these ingredients, one half per cent of salt, and two percent of crude cod liv- er oi] should be incorporated into the mixture. When the bids are on free range in the sunlight, the oil mny be reduced to one per cent ov eliminated entirely. If milk in any form is ayail- able, the nuimal feeds of the mash mit be eut down according.y. |_| 1 Hours 3amto6pm Evenings a . the first week or ten days it will :be|- Dr. R. C.
