RESTING THE EYES WILL NOT PREVENT EYE STRAIN VERNON TUCK Ontario THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO When a farmer has efficient work ! horses he does not care to sell in fiht% autumn the surplus above his ‘winter rr'equ'ire«men't's, ‘because he is not sure of getting equally good animals in the spfing. This means that many idle work horses must be kept for a numâ€" ‘ber of monthis at as low a cost as posâ€" ‘sible'. An experiment «conducted a»ff; Cap ‘Rouge for five winters with mares and geldings from five to ‘erixgthfi !rteen years of age, showed that tD , animals ‘did well on one pound Of mixed hay, one pound ‘of oat straw, and one pound of carrots or IS’W'e‘d ' turnips for each hundred pounds .z their weight. Horses worked haye 40â€" the ‘autumn must (be brought up to their normal weight (before changing the feed, this should be done Eradâ€" ually over â€"two weeks. In the spring, the same gradual change of feed must be made as work ds slowly increased. Two meals a day are sufficient during winter, and if the horses are turned out for a short ‘while on fine days, Or every day when protected from the wind, they wiill be all the better.

The fact ,that.; Mrs. Johnson has put on several plays in town should be proof enough of her. elocutionist ability. ~ A‘~committee of the Smithville Orâ€" chestra will hold @»dance in Indepenâ€". dent hall, Grimsby, on Friday evening, January 8, iat 8.30. ~Four piece. orchestra.
