Toronto, Ont. L. I Below are given some results obtained at the Experimental Sta- vtion, Cap Rouge, Que., in the cheap winte_r'ing_ of idleihorses. The .methods followed and the feeds used were such as to make the plan applicable to, and worth a trial in, practically all parts of _the Dominion. More Horses Are Required . Help is scarce, high-p`riced and oftentimes unreliable, so that larger implements and more working stock -have to be ems ployed. `It is not always possible to buy a good team at a reason- able price in the spring, while it is often hard to get a decent g- ure for the same animals in the autumn. It would thus seem ad- visable, when the ground freezes, to lay aside, as it were, for the winter, all horses which are not absolutely required and to feed them as cheaply `as possible with- out impairing their future use. -fulness. ~ ' Useful articles to have on the Z farm are buckets of water pro- _ perly distributed around the barn. Fire buckets, with rounded bot- toms, which, on account of their J shape are convenient for general use, canbe placed in a round hole cut in a shelf or bench; they j should be covered andlinspected regularly to -assure their being ~ kept full. "To prevent freezing two pounds of fusedcalcium ` chloride perv-pail may be used The. buckets should be painted 1'-e'd* 4 so that they will be more con- spicuous, a constant reminder of 1 the danger of fire. -- \aI--`iv-`I vv __..-v.r- --v-~ To gather data upon th_iVssub- * ject, an experiment was started I at the Gap Rouge Station in 1941, and has been cont1_nued`during five consecutive winters, with mares and geldings, "some" ner- i vous, others quiet, aged ve to eighteen years. It has been found that..they fared well on a daily ration of one pound mixed hay,| one pound oat straw, and one pound carrots or swedes for each one hundred pounds of their weight. Not only d1d.they gain an average of twenty-n1ne pounds during the ve months of the test, but they showed, the follow- ing season, that they had lost no vitality or energy. . Changes Must be Gradual The rule generally followed was to gradually cut down the work, also the feed, from Nov. 1 until Nov. 15 when the animals under test were placed in box stalls. They_never went out dur- ing the `winterwith the exception of an occasional drive of a mile or so.` On Apr. 15 easy jobs were given to themand-a small quan- tity of concentrates was allowed untillby May 1 they could be un- der harness ten hours a day and were on full feed. These are im_ portant points notbe forgotten: to lower and raise the~ration lit- tle by little, and to leave the horses practically idle. Details Essential to Success lf horses, due to -a hard sea- son s work, are in low condition, they should be fed up to their normal weight before being left aside for the winter, and enough exercise should be allowed dur_. ing that period to prevent stock- ing. Another good thing is to give `a purgative so as to'clean out the system before the long rest. One should also remember that .some animals are more rest.- less than others and dissipate more energy, which means that more food will be required, so that the `above mentioned quan-I tities should be increased-or de- creased slightly, according to cir- cumstances. Notes on Different Roughages Mixed hay for this purpose can be of any grass or weed which horses `will eat, must not be mouldy or musty, and should not . be worth more than half of tim... . othy. Roots may be carrots, man- gels or swedes, though the first , are always liked and the two lat- ter are sometimes refused at first, which requires skill on the part of the feeder to have enough eat- en; if roots are not given bran should form part of `the ration, as animals at rest will soon get costive and will not thrive very well on dry roughages alone. Oat straw` should be used, as it is more palatable than other sorts. How to Feed It would probably be well to chaff at least half the hay and straw, but as the idea is to lower expenses, there seems no doubt that the cost of cutting these roughages would be greater than that o.f the extra feed necessary to supply the energy used in_ mas- ticating them. The roots were sliced most of the time for the experiments, and it seems better to give them thus,. though it is not absolutely necessary, as long as they are not of such sizes as to be swallowed `whole, when there may be danger of choking. When to Feed It was noticed at Cap Rouge that th-elegs of horses kept in box stalls andfed as previously described did not stock up. If there is no box stall, it is advis- able to turn the animals out ev.. ery day. When the weather per- mits. so_that they may take some exercise. In this case it is prob- able that somewhat more feed willbe needed to make up for the lost energy and heat.` As to the number of times to feed, it seems that twice a day is suilicient, and that about the same quantiy can be given both morning and even- mg.

J.L.~ - Flro Fall Protection A Canadian bank manager re- ce_ntly boasted that he 'had'sho.t seven woodpeckers `in succession in his orchard, evidently under the impression that he was per- forming an exceedingly meritor- ious service to the com unity. He was destroying one f our most active insectivorous birds and, though keenly interested in the conservation of his trees and ourforests, he was destroying a most useful ally in their preser- vation. Boring insects are dead- ly pests. of trees, and -woodpeck- er.s are their special enemies, as they are able to reach these pests so secure from other enemies. No birdsare more useful in the pro- tection of our forests. I1T:AL AI... _........1..'...... I\ 41'... Q-.. The Old Ball Fence (W.L.S. in The Weekly Sun) We were the other day engag_ ed in removing an old rail fence, the place of which had been taken by woven wire.
