How MucH Hay WILL KEEP : Horse
"A correspondent Of the Hlsconsip Far
mer states that he has found by twenty
Years experience that fifteen pounds of hay
and twelve quarts Of oatmeal per day will
keep a good sized horse Of 1150 pounds
weight, in fine condition for farm or road
work, and that by using a cutting box, one
third ofthe hay can be saved, and replaced
by an equal weight Of good straw or corn
stalks. The usual estimate among farmers
j that hesso will generally consume 1000
pounds per quarter Of thirteen weeks, OF
twenty-five pounds per day. This shows
how much can be swell BY a judiciou
method Of feeding, as horse viii eat cons
siderably more than is necessary forhis vel
