The amount of food that one horse may thrive and do well uDon may injure another. It is as necessary to know the capacity of the horee, as far as his digestión is concerned, as it is to know his strength and how much he is able to pull. Stoddard says: One should be aomewhat sparing in the use of cooked food for the laying and the breeding stock, as it appears to favor the development of fat about the ovaries. In general onehalf of the food may be cooked, and in cold weather may be fed warm. Force pnllets to lay with plenty of egg producing food, but not with stimulants. Rooting grapevine branches, according to Popular Gardening, should be done in early spring. Dig a shallow trench into which the branch or stem is to be laid. Cover lightly, to keep in place. When the buds start into growth fiil the soil back into the trench. With such treatment each shoot will be likely to produce a plant. The ewes jieed a variety of food, and though they should not be fed too heavly jast before lambing, for fear of making them too fat, and thereby indncrnc; mük fever, they shonld not be slighted after the lambs are dropped, for it wül be all that the ewes can do to próvido milk for strong, vigoróos lamba.
