The horse is generally considered a little more susceptible to digestive: troubles following changes in feed- | ing practice than are other classes of farm live stock. It is always well to make changes very gradually and carefully. The main grain feed of the horse in this country is oats, ana | new oats should always be fed with great care. ard-worked horses should, if it is at all possible, be fea old oats and the new grain left to dry and cure for a few weeks afte) threshing. At any rate to avoid colic. acute indigestion and infammatiu:. new oats should at first form only i part of the grain ration, being mixes with old oats and possibly a litth bran and the percentage of the new grain gradually increased. until th. horses are on full feed. Suddwi- changes from old to new gBrain~«ar: pecially dang with the hors? and particularly with the horse a heavy work and on a heavy concen - trate ration. There is, of course, : difference due to the time of thresl.> ing. Grain which remains in stnact or mow for several weeks and thu: becomes dry and cured is 6 dangerous as that threshed directi, from the field or immediately afte harvesting. ja rule heavy feeding of gfrai is not practiced with cattle and shee, on pasture. Where such is the cas however, changing from old to nev grain should be done. with care an the substitution.should be, if po sible, gradual. If the ration: mus. of necessity, be composed entirely o newly-threshed grain it should a first be comparatively light and in creased very gradually. Pigs usually handle newly-thres!, ed grain without much trouble, 31 though ffon very heavy rations whe i g for market a little car should be taken that they be no thro t "| b & tq ible, Musty grain is more boos than clean, new grain.--Prof. eI Guelph.

Attacheo to each jaw are two or three travel: ling chains, furnished with fingers. Their function is to convey the stalks to the binding deck in an upright position as the machine advances. The chains should not be too loose or they will ride the teeth of the sprocket and slip down the teeth.

As it requirés considerable power to cut the sappy stubble, and™ not tear it up by the roots, the knife should be thoroughly keen, otherwise it will clog with grass and weeds. The stubble-cutter should also be kept in good condition.
