quite accurately calculated.
To Fatten a Poor Horse.

Many good horses devour large
quantities of grain or hay. and still
continue thin and poor; the food
eaten is not properly assimilated.
If the usual feed has been uns
ground grain and hay, nothing but
a change will effect any desirable
alteration in the appearance of the
animal. In case oil meal cannot
be obtained readily, mingle q
bushel of flaxseed with bushel Of
barley, one of oats, and another
bushel Of Indian corn. and let it be-
ground into a fine meal. This will
be fair proportion for all his feel.
Or the meal, or the barley, oats and
corn, in equal quantities, may first
be procured, and one-fourth part of
oil cake mingled with it when the
meal is sprinkled on cut feed.
Feed two or three quarts of the
mixture three times day, mingled
with peck of cut hay and straw.
If the horse will eat that greedily,
let the quantity be gradually in
creased until he will eat four or six
quarts at every fee ding three
times day. So long as the
animal will eat this allowance,
the quantity may be increased a lit
tie every day. But avoid the prac-
tice of allowing a horse to stand at
a rack we'll filed with hay. In
order to fatten horse that has run
down in flesh, the groom should be
very particular to feed the animal
no more than he will eat up clean
and lick his manger for more.-Ex.
