Of food and drink give 7ne the best^ From brutal treatmejtt keep ??iefree ; Give 7?ie 70hen tired a little rest^ A?id see ho7o useful I can be, A horse has a smaller stomach than an ox and conse- quently it must be fed less at a time. It has less power to digest coarse foods. It eats much slower, as it must do all its chewing before the food is swallowed. For these reasons it requires a longer time to eat and its food should be more concentrated. It wants only a little coarse food at a time. Most people feed too much rather than too little. Two pounds per day of hay and grain for each loo pounds of live weight, is usually enough for good working condition. A general all-round good ration for any horse consists of six parts bran, three of oats and one of linseed-oil meal. It is a grand combination for muscle, for work and for health. In cold weather corn should be added, and the cornmeal, oats and bran may be of equal weight, still adding a little linseed meal. Feed a small amount of hay twice a day. There is no doubt that farmers generally depend too much on corn to feed their work horses. Corn is good to lay on fat, but muscle is what a work horse needs, to give which.
