Mr. Low has now on his ranch a herd of 35 thorough- bred Hereford cattle, pedigreed, which he brought from the Canterbury associa- tion of New Zealand, now the only for- eign stock association recognized by the U. S. Government. He is one of the first on the islands to import this class of cattle with a view to improve the quality of his herds, a fact which was favorably commented upon by Prof. Stubbs in his report to the Agricultural Department at Washington " ? Writing in Drover's Journal, C. P. Rey- nolds says: The horse's stomach is built for more highly concentrated feed than the ox. He cannot take the same kind simply because he has not the capacity to digest it in sufficient quantities to supply his svstem with the needed nourishment. The result is when too much hay is fed the horse becomes badly pot bellied and is unable to secure the required nourishment to work at the best>dvantage. A working horse should have plenty of grain, which furnishes his nourishment in the most highly concentrated form that is practi- cable to feed. It requires also a certain amount of hay, but the hay is not to sup- ply it with the main portion of its nour- ishment. The most experienced teamsters are relying on grain for the main portion of the feed, not only because experience has demonstrated that it iB the most economical, but that it is also best for the horse. There is no room for further discus- sion of the question as to whether it is more profitable to have cows freshen in the spring or in the fall, says Hoard's Dairyman. I
