You would do well to manure will tend to dry out and be blown away before its vlantfood can render the desired help to thé grain may be sown broadcast or in drills. It should come along sufficiently ear-. ly to make a satisfactory sheep' pas- ture, early in the Autumn. Rape has proven an exceedingly valuable pas- ture crop for sheep. 2. Some types. at the rate of about 300 pounds per acre. Fertilizers are concentrated soluble plantfood. They are finely pulverized and settle immediately about the roots of the crop. Just as quickly as they get into the moist soil, plantfood becomes available and helps the growing grain just like fresh milk helps the growing calf. Fertilizers can be applied as a top- pasture, but as a rule not as good as that obtained from rape. They are lighter yielders, In tests that have been carried on, yields of 13 to 14% tons of fodder per acre have been ob- tained with mustard against yields of 21.2 tons per acre from Dwarf Essex Rape. 8. On spring sown crops, fertilizers are best applied at the time of seeding, They are concentrated available plantfood. If applied to the eoil in the fall much of the &oluble nitrogen and considerable potash will be lost. Of cgurse, on fall-sown wheat or rye, fértilizers should be ap- plied in the autumn at the time the seed is being sown, Rice boiled in milk makes a good breakfast cereal.

The heavy feeding should come at night, when the horse has ample time to masticate and digest his food, and is not obliged to go to work immediately after eating. = The hard-working horse should be fed and watered so frequently that he will neither become hungry nor thirsty. Thus, he should be fed at least three times, watered not less than four or, if convenient, six times daily. If accessible, therefore, the horse should be watered in the morn- ing before feeding. For the morning meal feed one fourth of the daily allowance at least one hour before going to work. This should be in a condition to be easily and rapidly consumed; so as to be well digested when the animal goes to work. He should be watered as he goes to work, and after five hours of i exhaustive labor he should be given. his midday meal. Before being fed, however, he should have a drink of fresh, cool water, taking care that he does not drink too rapidly or gorge himself if very warm.

Hays are ordinar. ily much cheaper than grains, es- pecially on. farms, but a hard-working horse is unable economically to dis- pose of a large proportion' of bulky food. It requires time and energy to masticate and digest rough food, which lessens the usefulness of the horse. Within proper limits the more con- centrated the food the less time and = energy will be required to make it available. While the relative pro- portion between the grain and rough- age in the ration will depend upon tha amount and kind of work performed, yet a hard working horse should néver be expected to consume more rough age than grain by weight.
