Grain and Water ler Rerses.

Mr.. Cairncs, = celebrated English
veterinary surgeon, in paper publish
sd in the British Journal Of Agriculture
says: Too much grain indisposes horses
tor eating other provsnder, and occ sion
ally subjects them TO serious disease.
Five bushels of good sound oats weekly,
along with y few yo"c Swedish turnips
or other roots, and plenty Of hay Or
straw, will keep Lealthy farm horse.
in good order through the winter, even
though they BE- pretty hard wrought.
II, then such AN allowances be sufficient,
it is folly and waste to given them more
Something must be wrong it,with this al
iowance Ot. food they tall off in condition.
Horses that are greedy eaters, or that
swallow their grain whole, should have
it bruised or ground. A little chaff
mixed with il helps to make horses
chew it, and well-chewed food is Of far
moro importance than many people
think. Unless il. be well ground and
mixed with saliva in their months, it is
but impcriectly digesicd in their
stomachs, and withaat perfect digestion
there It's full benefit is not obtained. A
full drink Of water immediately after
bcing fed, should never be allowed to
horses. When water is drunk by them,
the bulk Of i, goes directly to their large
intestines, and but little of il is retained
in their s,omachs. In passing through
them, however the water carries con-
siderable quantities Of their contents to
where It lodges in the intestines. If,
thcn, the contents OF horses stOmachs
are washed out Of them before they are
digested they are in . manner lost, no
nourishmsnt boiny derived from
them. Coles in horses frequently
arise from this cause, and TO it the
appearance OF corn entire among
their dang is often due. Damp straw
or musty hay should never be given rs
food for horses. Tho former is apt TO
ssour them, ana the latter frequently
affects their wind. 1t 10 affirmed BY
some that il their hay or straw be cut,
ami then. grain bruised, horses can be
kept at onc-tourth less cost than when
they are givon them whole. Every one
knows tho value OF grass as an article Of
food for horses. A month OF it in the
early part Of the season, when it Is
young and tender, is worth two when il
gets old and tough. Great care must
be taken OF horses when frs, put on
grass-indeed, changes Of food of any
kind must to them be introduced with
caution, as may had TO pay dearly for
neglect OF this. Even change OF wa

some horses, 90 sensible docs their
