It Varies in Different Parts of the Country, But $60 Per Animal Is an Annual Average. A number of experiment stations have undertaken the task of ascertaining the cost of a work horse’s food. At the New Hampshire station an experiment was conducted for a period of two years, during which time the food and drink of five work horses were accurately weighed. A horse weighing in the vicinity of 1,200 pounds and working every day lost but little flesh when fed the following ration per day: ‘Hay, ten pounds; bran, two pounds; corn, six pounds, and gluten feed, six pounds. Reckoning corn at $16 a ton, bran at $17, gluten feed at $l8, and hay at $16 per ton this ration cost 19.3 cents per day. A ration consisting of ten pounds of hay, two pounds of bran, six pounds of corn and eight pounds of oats was sufficient to maintain an animal weighing 1,200 pounds, and cost 22.5 cents per day. When a ration composed of ten pounds of hay, one pound of cottonseed meal, two pounds of bran and eight pounds of corn was fed the cost was 17.4 cents per day. Horses at moderate work kept in good condition on this ration. It will be seen that the cost varied from 17 to 22 cents per day per animal, Horses of greater weight, of course, would require a heavier ration. As a rule a work horse weighing 1,500 pounds, doing ordinary farm labor, but kept fairly closely at business, will consume about 18 pounds of grain per day, and from ten to 15 pounds of hay. If grain can be purchased for two-thirds of a cent a pound, and as this is usually the case in the corn belt, the cost of grain would be 12 cents per day, while the hay, reckoned at eight dollars per ton, counting 12 pounds per day, would amount practically to five cents, thus making a total of 17 cents a day. At this rate the food of one animal for a year would amount to $62.05. This figure we consider to be a little too high, because it is scarcely possible to work an animal the entire year through, and during slack seasons the grain ration can be cut down considerably. While the New Hampshire station. above referred to, found that it cost on an average of $74.32 per animal, yet it will be seen by the cost of foods that some forms are unusually high in price, as, for example, hay at $16 per ton. It may be said in a general way that if horses are well fed and kept fairly busy during the entire year that their feed bill will run in the neighborhood of SSO. —Rural World. A FIVE HORSE EQUALIZER. How to Hitch the Animals So That Each One WilUDo Its Proper Share of Work. In placing one team ahead of another it is often very difficult to have them work together so that each will perform its share of the work. In a recent issue of the Nbr’-West Farmer Mr. A. J. Ratan gives the following plhn for a five-horse equalizer that will overcome this difficulty. He says: “I have had considerable experience in breaking up grub land and have found that the very best results come - J FIVE-HORSE EQUALIZER. ‘ from a good strong 14-inch grub plow. Two men, an ax, brush scythe and five horses comprise the best outfit that can be obtained for any field. In order to equalize the combined strength of the five horses an evener is made on the plan shown in the illustration. A piece of timber three by five and 15 inches long is selected. An inch hole is bored three-fifths of the distance from the end for the clevis which attaches the timber to the plow ring. A three-horse attachment is fastened to the short end, a chain is attached to the long end cf the piece of timber, running between the two off side horses through their neckyoke ring and attached to a doubletree clevis for. the lead team.” Price of Corn and Beef. A noted cattle raiser says that the ■ price of corn and beef should go together. When corn is high, beef must be high, or the farmer will go out of the cattle raising business. The man referred to declares that the large receipts of cattle during the past year are due to the steady unloading of the farmers that do not want to feed highpriced corn to medium-priced cattle. It also accounts, he says, for many of the animals arriving in a half fat coalition. It is doubtless true that there 's not a wide enough difference between corn-finished cattle and cattle that have received almost no fitting at all. When every bushel of corn a man puts into his beef cattle is put in at a loss, is |s the case this year, farmers cannot be very enthusiastic in the finishing of cattle. —Farmers’ Review. Value of Farm Animals. The acting statistician of the department of agriculture has completed his estimate of the number and value of faim animals in the United States on January 1, 1904. Horses in the United States are worth $1,136,940,298. The totals for the country are shown in the following table: farm Animals. Number. Value..
