THE WORK-STOCK.
Some Good Advice In Re
gard To their Feeding
and Care.
Next to the efficiency of the
brain directing them, the effic
iency of the farm work-stock
during the next three or four
months will most largely deter
mine ihe condition of the crops.
It would be interesting to know
what per cent, of the efficiency
of farm horses and mules is lost
through lack of care and unwise
feeding. It is safe to state that
this loss is much larger than the
average man realizes. We are
convinced it is really one of the
greatest wastes on Southern
farms.
It is supposed that one of the
reasons why the boys leave the
farms is because they find life
more pleasant, even if more
strenuous, in the city. It is at
least true that the greatest con
veniences to body comforts are
now found in the city. The same
is true as to horses. The horses
that do the heavy work in the
cities are better fed and better
cared for than the horses of the
country. On the whole, the
horses that move the burdens are
well fed and given good care.
Of course, we have the horse
slums as well as the human slums
in the city, and the worst cases
of abuse of our faithful friend,
the horse, occur in the city, but
most city horses are better cared
for than those which labor on
Southern farms. They have bet
ter collars, their work is more
regular, they receive better
balanced rations and are more
regularly groomed.
In these four lines can most be
done to lessen the hardships of
the farm horse and increase his
efficiency. Attention has often
been called to the cruelty inflict
ed on Southern farm work-stock
through the use of cheap, low
grade collars. The good collar
must be broad, smooth and firm
and fit the shoulder nearly where
the draft is exerted. Such a
collar may be badly fitted, but a
narrow, improperly or unevenly
stuffed collar can never be well
fitted and soon calls for the
abominable sweat-pad, which
never makes a poor collar good,
but often adds to the discomfort
of the unfortunate wearer. It
is poor economy to use a poor
collar and still worse to neglect
to keep any collar used, clean
and properly fitted.
It is almost impossible to make
the work of the farm horse
regular. It is almost certain to
be severe at times and light at
others. Perhaps the worst feat
ure of farm work, so far as keep
ing animals up to the highest
point of efficiency is concerned is
the idle days, which come as a
lesultof rains which make it
impossible to get on the land. In j
such cases lighter feeding on;
these days is better than idleness
with a full ration, but better still
Grow IV2 Bales Cotton
Where Only 1 Grew
Before
One to one-and-a-half and even two bales of cotton, or 60 to 90
bushels of corn per acre, require little more labor than smaller yields.
Simply use liberally the right fertilizer or plant food to the acreage
you plant, and cultivate the crop more thoroughly and oftener.
You cannot l>e too careful in selecting fertilizers and seeds.
Your soil deserves the best plant foods which are

is a plan which insures some
exercise with the feed decreased
but little. Regular work and
regular feeding, both as to time
and quantity, should lie aimed at,
but when the work is stopped or
when it is suddenly made unus
ually hard, less feed should be
given. It is a mistake suddenly
to increase the work to a point
where it taxes the strength of
the animal, but it is still worse
to tax both the muscles and the
stomach to the limit of their
capacity at the same time.
There are approximately 5,-
o'JO.OUO work animals in our
territory. Ninety-five per cent,
of their grain fet d is corn. If
each animal received an average
of two pounds IJSS corn per dty
and one pound of cottonseeu
meal took the place of two
pounds of corn, the saving would
be $15,000,0;)0 a j ear and more
work would be done.
For some reason the South al
most completely lost that high
regard for the value of grooming
so characteristic of the horse
owners of Europe and some other
sections. There is ample evi ence
to show that the use of the brush
after a hard da>'s work is worth
much more than it costs. Until
we use the brush more, the use
of the clippers to remove the
long winter coat would add much
to the comfort of the work-stock
and add to their efficiency. Pro
