Hay for Horses
An allowance of about one and a
half pounds of hay for each 100
pounds of live weight is the usual
recommendation for Idle horses. Many
farmers increase this allowance to two
pounds per 100 pounds live weight.
This quantity should be divided Into
two or three parts and fed morning
and night with n noon feed If needed.
Some horses will eat much more hay
thnn this even when idle, but ibe tend

“hay belly.”

Some Comfort for Labor

A little currency inflation, as Cyrus
H. K. Curtis suggested recently, In
one of his newspapers, Is sometimes
useful.
“Poor England,” sliding down from
a gold basis, automatically inflates her
currency. A pound worth less means
more pounds; and more pounds, until
inflation goes too far, mean more
cheerfulness.
A miracle from the deep comes to

dread them. Bullets are new and we

England withdraws temporarily from
