GERMAN COACH HORSES. 
On the first page this week is a pic¬ 
ture of Hannibal 2127—a fine specimen 
of the above mentioned breed. Hanni¬ 
bal is six years old and is a noted prize 
winner, having won first at many State 
fairs and at the International lave Stock 
Show. He is owned by J. Crouch & Son, 
Lafayette, Ind. The German Coach 
horses are becoming well known to 
handlers of fine animals. As will be 
seen from the picture, they are strong 
beautiful horses with great power and 
strong action. The following facts are 
given about them: 
The great German Coach horses are ths 
finest coach horses in the world, the result 
of breeding in one line for a great length 
of time. This is a coach horse of the high¬ 
er type. His points are advantageously 
placed with deep and well proportioned 
body, strong and clear bone under the 
kr.ee, and his feet open, sound and tough. 
He possesses fine knee ac.ion, lifts his feet 
high, which gives elegance to his pace .and 
action: he carries his head well; "his neck 
being elevated and very rangy, long and 
well cut up at throttle; fine ear, well set; 
bread forehead, with large intelligent eye; 
fine disposition to carry both tail and head 
high. They run in heigh! from 1G to 16M> 
hands high, weighing from 1,350 to 1,450 
pounds. They mature very young and are 
fit for work at two years old, and for 
breeding purpose they are horses that pro¬ 
duce all about one size, all dark, deep color 
and are the only genuine coach and gen¬ 
eral-purpose horse. No horse o;*.n stand 
for service in Germany unless he either 
belongs to the government or has a certi¬ 
ficate of soundness, breeding and individual 
appearance, issued by an examining gov¬ 
ernment committee. The owner of a com¬ 
missioned stallion is liable to prosecution 
if he has in the same stable a non-com¬ 
missioned stallion, although he pray be 
simply used for farm work. When a horse 
has such certificate he may stand for ser¬ 
vice anywhere in the Empire. 
As everyone knows the prices offered 
for good horses have seldom been equal¬ 
ed in this country, while no one wants 
to buy a “plug.” These beautiful Ger¬ 
man horses will command respect—and 
money—wherever their blood shows. 
HORSE WITH INDIGESTION. 
Give a remedy for weak bowels in a 
horse that scours if driven far or fast. 
New York. reader. 
Chronic indigestion is a difficult com¬ 
plaint to handle. Light feed, moderate 
watering and careful driving are essen¬ 
tials. As to just what food can be given 
depends upon the individual horse. Some 
cannot use wheat feed without injury, 
and oats with a little oil meal, a pound 
or less per day, may prove best. The 
following makes a good tonic. 0::e hun¬ 
dred pounds oil meal, five pounds pow¬ 
dered charcoal, five pounds Epsom salts, 
five pounds salt, four pounds gentian, 
four pounds saltpeter, two pounds pep¬ 
per, three pounds fenugreek. The char¬ 
coal is a good absorbent of gases, and 
indigestion is sure to produce gas. The 
gentian is an active tonic and may be 
depended upon to give essentially the 
same result that quinine does for man. 
The reader will quickly see the value of 
the other ingredients, especially the pep¬ 
per, which is a stomachic of value. This 
compound will cost about five cents per 
pound. A half pound or a trifle less, 
twice a day, would be a fair dose. 
BEARDED BARLEY FOR HORSES. 
Will it hurt a horse to feed him barley hay, 
bearded barley, cut. green but after the heads 
had formed? I sent for beardless seed but 
found af.er it was grown that it was the 
bearded kind. Chewing some grains of 
barley that ripened among the oats the 
barbs stuck to my mouth so that I had 
to use my finger to get them out; and I 
am afraid it might cause impaction of the 
bowels if fed to a horse. What is the ex¬ 
perience of your readers? o. a. c. 
Willington, Conn. 
I have not in mind a case where the 
circumstances were known that trouble 
came from barley beards, but it is often 
said that they are dangerous to horses. 
We have fed barley straw and barley 
hay and barley chaff to cows without 
danger or loss. If I had barley straw 
and it was necessary to feed it, I should 
do so, using as a safeguard a thorough 
shaking before feeding. If the effect 
upon the human tongue was a guide to 
the safety of animal feeding, it is doubt¬ 
ful whether animals would get a very 
wide range of herbage. The very rough 
surface and thick skin of the tongue are 
specially fitted for handling roughage, 
and, of couise, the digestive tract is cor¬ 
respondingly able to fulfill its mission. 
H. E. C. 
Bet,t.k on Sheep.— The question of 
bells as a preventive against dogs is one 
which does not always work out satis¬ 
factorily. Although I use bells, say three 
to 50 sheep or less, partly to prevent at¬ 
tack by dogs and largely for the purpose 
of being warned through the noise of 
the bells when the sheep are being dis¬ 
turbed from any cause, through my per¬ 
sonal experience for 30 years I would 
not say that bells keep the dogs away, 
but would advise the use of them freely. 
Where dogs are bad, I would use one to 
every 10 sheep, and should expect less 
than one-half the loss. s. m. cleaver.
