Horses Doing Hard Work
Should Hoi Run On Pasture
For animals that must do hard
work, or are worked regularly,
it is not economical nor benefi
cial to give them any appreciable
amount of green feed. For such
animals and for driving horses,
nothing but dry feed should be
used. It is probably more
economical, when their efficiency
and freedom from sickness are
considered, to buy dry feed for
such animals rather than allow
them to graze or get green feed
in any way. There is no more
frequent cause of scouring, colic,
founder and other disturbances
of that sort than green feed for
hard-working or driving animals.

| The New and Smaller Paper Currency f
I It is expected that within a month or two the people of the United States will witness a great revolu= -5
tion in the size and appearance of their paper money. Each one of the two billion notes of that kind now £.
in circulation will be supplemented by uniform pieces of currency about a quarter size smaller than now used. P*
The change in size is not the only one. Any note with Washington's portrait on it will be one dollar, 1
Jefferson's, two dollars, Lincoln's, five dollars, Grover Cleveland's, ten dollars, Alexander Hamilton's,
twenty dollars, and so on. . This plan will render the raising of bills by crooks an impossibility, and we I
will have the safest and simplest system of national currency in the world. " g
I However, the new money will be just as elusive-=just as hard to get and keep==as the old currency, and I '
your need for the services of a good bank in caring for it will be just as great. This strong institution |

nights and on Sunday, or other
idle days, is almost certain to
suffer from too great looseness
of the bowles the next day, if
given fast or hard work.
The most economical plan is to
keep the horses and mules work
ing every day, just as nearly as
it is possible to do so. and grow
on the farm, or purchase, if the
feed is not grown, sufficient dry
feed to supply the entire needs
of this work-stock.
We know the animals like the,
green feed, and that it is their
"natural" feed, but we are no;
keeping them under "natural"
conditions when we work them
hard or drive them fast, and
consequently what is their
"natural" conditions ceases to be

conditions are "unnatural," or

those of the hardworked horse
or mule either on the farm or
| elsewhere. For idle animals, or
for those doing light work, the
cheapest sodrce of feed is a good
pasture, but for an animal doing
regular, hard work, on hard or
fast work irregulary, a pasture
is not only not economical, but is:
a common cause of sickness and ;
reduced efficiency.
The man who works his horses |
and mules hard as regularly and
constantly as possible and pro
duces on the farm sufficient dry
feed to supply their entire needs
the year round is keeping his
work-stock the most economical
ly when freedom from disease
and efficiency considered.—

;| How to Core Pea Hay.
From Louisiana: "You speak
in this week's paper of a method
of curing cowpea hay. Please
give it?" I have given this
method annually for years, and
I probably after a while will have
I more asking for it. But as you
are .in the far South, I give it
[here again and hope the later
| farmers will keep it. Now I
have practiced this method for
years, and many farmers have
done it with success while
others, for some reason, say
they fail. I can only tell what
I have done with perfect
success.
Begin mowing when the peas
turn yellow in the pods. Mow in
the morning till noon; if possible,
run a tedder right after the
i mower to keep the hay tossed up
{and hasten the wilting. Rake
jinto windrows that afternoon.
jNext morning turn the windrows
| with the rakn while the mowers
are running on other parts. That
| afternoon put this hay into cocks
;as narrow and tall as will stand
j well. Then, as soon as you can
! take a handful of the nay and
1 twist it and can wring no sap to
: the twist, haul the hay to the
barn and let it settle with its
own weight without tramping
and then let it alone and it will
cure all right. 1 f it heats some,
; let it heat. If you go to stirring
jit to ''onl it, you will let in germs
,of niold from the air and will
; have moldy hay
j Now. I have cured it in this
i way many years and never made
any moldy hay, hut had it come
I out with the leaves on and green
in color, and l'ar hitter feed than
the usual assortment of sticks
that many make by letting the
hay lie in the sun to bleach and
the leaves to get dry and crisp.
In fact, I have found curing
peavine hay as easy as any other
hay if you simply let it cure and
do not "monkey" with all sorts
of scaffolds and contrivances
that merely dry the hay and
lose the leaves, the best part
of the hay.—The Progressive
Farmer.

constipation, indigestion and
liver complaint." Will help you.

Six Rules For
Meadow Owners
1. Do not sow without testing
I beforehand the power of germ
| ination in the seeds.
2. Do not sow anything but
| clean seed. Examine for noxious
I seeds with a magnifying glass.
3. Do not sow when soil is
very dry and cloddy. '
4. Do not cover seeds to 1
ja greater depth than one-half
;of an inch. When covered two
j inches very few, if any will
germinate.
J 5. Do not fail to exterminate
all bunches of "broomsedge"
and all "yellow dock" that may
appear in the meadow during
i the summer. Never let these go
I to seed.
6. Above all, do not forget to
top-dress your meadow with
suitable manure in the fall of
the year or the spring. Feed
your meadow and it will feed
you, and if you don't you will
have to buy hay, which no South
ern farmer ought to do with the
chance he has.—P. A. Bryant,
in The Progressive Farmer.
