The Best Hours for Winter r•eeding,
Considerable has been written re-
garding the feeding of horses ill so far
as hours of feeding are concerned.
Soine would feed twice a day, some
three times daily, others would give
the regular daily allowance in four
different lots. We must, in horse
feeding, always remember that the
horse's stomach is rather a small af-
fair, and that the horse's didcstive
system is not equipped to handle
large quantities in a short 'time suf-
ficient to last for many hours there --
after. The nature of the horse's
digestive tract is such as to indicate
that smaller feeds and more frequent,
but always given with regularity,
would be more desirable at mare wide-
ly separated intervals. On the aver-
age farm during the winterseason
the feeder does not rise very early,
and it is safe to say that the horses
in the average farm stable du not get
their first feed before seven o'clock
in the morning; get their se°.Orel feed
around about twelve, and either one
or two other feeds later in the day.
Where three feeds a day are relied
upon, we would favor giving one-half
the hay in two feeds; one somewhere
around six or seven o'clock in the
morning, the other at noon, the other
half of the hay to be fed when choring
up for the night, which may be done
'some time between six and eight
o'clock. The grain ration could very
well be divided into two feeds; one
in the morning after watering, and the
other at night, after watering. At
noon a turnip, a couple of carrots, or
a mangel might be given to good ad-
vantage.
But we believe there is a better
method of feeding than this. Where
the horses get their morning feed
about seven o'clock and a noon feed
about twelve, both representing -fair-
ly small quantities of hay, and where
they are watered in the afternoon
around four or five o'clock, as is
usual on these short days, wo believe
they would do better to have a very
small allowance of hay just after this
evening watering and sufficient to
keep them quiet until seven ar• eight
o'clock at night, when they' can be
very well fed a regular night feed of
hay, composing the bulk of the hay
ration for the day and their oats, and
be bedded down for the night. The
horse is a restless animal, and the
quieter he can be kept the better. Wewould favor this latter systenit ernes
ing, with the roots at noon as pre-
viously mentioned. 'We would water
twice a day, and the latefeeding at
night takes the attendant to the been
where he can see that everything is
all right, and tends to keep the horses
quiet until morning. --Farmer's Advo-

Start Pruning Now.
It is necessary to start the pruning
of the apple orchard some time in
February at the latest. The. e epee
some other jobs for which the farmer
wishes to pick good days about this
time of the year, such as drawing
the ice, sawing up the woodpile and
killing hogs, and with all 'these attend-
ed to there is not too much time left
for pruning before Spring's work be-
gins to crowd in -
No matter what the system of
prun-
rngt or whether the cutting bo heavy
or light, one thing should always be
remembered when pruning in Winter
in a country where snow is to be ex-
pected frequently, that is, to pick up
the brush as you go; only a person
who has had to straighten out and
burn tangled branches and twigs after
they have been drifted over, knows
fully the satisfaction afforder by hav-
ing his work up-to-date every evening.
If more than one pian is to work
on the pruning job let it be decided
beforehand which one is to be the hose;
this saves time, and goes some way
toward ensuring an even appearance
of the orchard when the work is
finished. With three or more men it
pays to have the boss on the ground
all the time, so that he can see that
no mistaken ideas are introduced by
the workmen.
A reasonably fine saw, in good shape
and of the regular carpenter style,
with a handle that will not craft the
hand of the worker, is about the only
tool needed, except the small pruning
shears, which can be carried in a
pocket.. A long -handled pruner may
prove useful and can be used all the
time by a man on the ground, but the
saw and shears are sufficient on a
one-man job where a ladder has to
be moved about anyhow.
The good condition of the saw -
teeth is the most important matter in
regard to the pruning tools, and a
man who can file his saw properly is
worth as much more than another, as
it will cost to have the satyr filed every
clay.
