" '•• TIIM HURON MCP Feed for Horses. Timothy hay often, sells Ifor as much per- ton as we can' buy corn !meal for. In such instances, where a farmer has plenty of good bright oat -and wheat straw, itis poor economy to feed 1timoi1ey hay to farm horses. Cut up the straw into chaff. A bushel of it eevill weigh about .8 pounds. If the horses are not working, mix two - 25, Alearts,olttorneal titith-a bushel of the chaff, and let them have all that they. will eat.

If the horses are at Moderate work, , two or three days a week, mix theee qu.arts of .meal with':the bushel of chaff, or four quarts,- if the -horses ire at moderate work `nearly every day.
