The author lived in London and kept
three horses which he fed as follows:
Two trusses and half of clover or
meadow hay cut and mixed with four
trusses of wheat, or barley straw when
cut up, make nearly equal quantities in
weight; two heaped bushels of thiB mig
tnre equal to fourteen pounds Weight,
are given to each horse in "a hours, be-
ing previously mixed with half peck
Of, corn, Gin England oats) ground or
chopped, weight lbs. with water to wet
it; that is pounds ofhay; r pounds Of
straw; 5 pounds of meals civ zen at SIN
different times, each day and evening.
And pounds ofhay at night, makes "a
pounds to each horse in tWenty-four
iours and it kept them much fatter
taan with double the corn each day uh-
ground, two trusses of hay a week.
According TO this calculation the daily e6.
7ense of keeping horse, independently q,
any allowance for groons attention, is about =
cents or about 81 per month, calculating ha
1t SIS per ton, straw at SO and corn at 10
cents per bushel, the present cost of keeping
a horse at livery in this city is Sl2 per monta.
