Kaffir Corn and Milo Maize are also good, but owing to the small size 

 and hardness of the grains, they should be ground. 



Cow Peas are fed very generally in the South, and when mixed with 

 corn or other grains, have been found very satisfactory. 



Dried Brewers' Grains have been found very satisfactory when fed 

 with hay, wheat bran, shelled corn or oats. 



Cotton-Seed Meal, when mixed with other feeds, is very satisfactory. 

 Usually about one to one and one-half pounds of the cotton-seed meal is 

 fed daily. 



Millet Hay, if fed in large quantities, is apt to affect the horse's kid- 

 neys. 



Thickly-Grown Corn Fodder and Corn Stoker, when properly cured, are 

 among the best of roughages for the horse. 



Clover and Alfalfa Hay, when not musty and dusty, are splendid feeds 

 for colts on account of the protein they contain. 



The Amount of Grain to Give a colt or horse depends upon the age. 

 For instance, after weaning until the colt is one year of age, a fair allow- 

 ance is from two to three pounds. When one to two years of age, four 

 to five pounds, and when two to three years of age, it should have from 

 seven to eight pounds. Henry Woodruff recommends that a colt at 

 weaning time be given an unlimited allowance of hay and two pounds of 

 oats. When one year old, it should have four pounds of oats and hay, 

 and when two years old, it should have six pounds of oats, or, if the colt 

 is in training, increase to eight pounds. For a colt in training, when 

 three years old, he recommends from eight to twelve pounds of oats, and 

 hay unlimited allowance. Splan recommends for trotting horses a fair 

 amount of hay and from ten to fifteen pounds of oats. 



Stutgart recommends for farm horses doing medium work, ten pounds 

 of oats, ten pounds of hay and three pounds of straw. Farm or dray 

 horses doing heavy work should have from four to seven pounds of corn, 

 five or six pounds of oats, one-half pound of bran, three or four pounds 

 of corn meal and twelve or fifteen pounds of hay. Army horses that are 

 called upon to do hard and continued work, do best when given oats, hay 

 and straw. 



POULTRY 



IS poultry raising worth while? Unhesitatingly we say, "Yes." The 

 poultry production amounts annually in the United States to more 

 than $750,000,000, a greater sum than the value of our entire wheat 

 crop. Success, however, will not result if haphazard methods are pur- 

 sued. 



Good judgment and a knowledge of the requirements of poultry are 

 necessary to sucr'essfully raise and make them profitable. Mixed breeds.
