THE German army horses are now
fed on biscuits Of three parts each of rye
-four, oat -four and dextrinated pea
-four and n part of linseed -four. The
biscuits are made with a hole in the
middle of each, so they can be strung on
a string and hung to the saddle-bow or
be carried carried by the trooper around
his waist. Each biscuit weighs, when
baked dry and hard, about two ounces.
Seven biscuits are broken up and given
to each horse in the morning, moistened
with water, if convenient, otherwise
dry; twelve at noon and seven at night.
After careful experiment in camp, on
the march and campaigning, they are
reported by all the cavalry and artillery
officers better than oats. A trooper can
easily carry thirty pounds of these bis
cults, which will furnish his horse with
full rations for eight days, or will serve,
with forage, for twenty days hard
marching.
