Oats and chopped Iiay or straw form a very general and excellent diet for working horses, par- ticularly if a little Thorley's condiment be added to give flavour, and keep the digestive organs healthy. Beans and bran are also nutritives'of great value in forming muscle. A difference in the feeding should be made with cart- horses that require llesh no less than muscle, to that of tlioroughbreds and hacks, to whom flesh is an incumbrance.
