COUGHING HORSES 1t is well
known that feeding horses on clover
hey often makes them cough but the
why ana wherefore may not be so gen.
elaIly known. From observation
nave become satisfied that the manner
oi feeding hay to horses is the cause
The usual custom is to let them draw
it through a rack, thus stripping of
the fine dust which adhcrcs to the
stalk, which being drawn into the
lungs in respiration, produces
cough. The cure consists il remOv
inc the cause-that is, the racks
. and allowing the animals to take thelI
food in their natural way. | have re
moved all of mine, and now feed my
horses on the barn floor, having ;
, breastwork sufficiently high for then
to cat over. In this way they can b,
5 fed on hay without raising dust, the.
: get none under their feet, and the Ia
. Dor Of cleaning out managers is saved
t Whatever IS left is easily pushed GU
4 with rake into the yard for the cal
tie. The dust on the hay will do tn
horse no harm ii taken into the ston
l ach. Since making the improvement
+ above mentioned in my feeding appars
: tus. | am not troubled with cOughin
= horses. There is no patent on my il
vention. My brethren can use it fre'
