The difficulty of providing horses
with forage in war has set the ingenious
to work IN endeavoring to compound a
condensed horse biscuit, and Colonel
Revelli, an Italian officer, seems to have
been very successful in this respect. By
direction of the minister of war, very
careful experiments have lately been
made with cavalry horses, and COM
mission report that not only when the
biscuit is administered with proper care
is 1t consumed with appetite and easily
dgested, but that the horses fed upon it
actually increased in vigor. There is
really nothing new in this, for three CEN
turtles ago horses in England were often
fed in the same way.
