Because the impropriety of such a practice is self-evident. Yet it is constantly done, and is the basis of disease of every hind. (2.) Never use bad hay on account of its cheapness. Because there is not proper nourishment in it. S- Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious. Because it brings on inflammation of the Boivels and skin diseases Chaff is better for old horses tjian hay. Because they can cheiu and digest it better. 5. Mix chaff with corn or oats, and do not give them alone. Because it makes the horse chew his food more and digest it better. 6. Hay or grass alone will not support a horse under hard work. Because there is not su^cient nutritive body in either. 7. When a horse is worked hard his food should chiefly be oats and corn: if not worked hard, his food should chiefly be hay. Because oats and corn supply more nourishment and flesh-maJcing material than any other kind of food. Hay not so much. 8. For a saddle or coach-horse, half a peck of sound oats and eighteen pounds of good hay are sufficient. If the hay is not good, add a quarter of a peck more oats.
