OVEREEEDING HORSES.

Horses. especial these at hard
work, suffer more from overfeeding
than from almost any other cause
They may not eat too much; in
fa ct, overfeeding IL often a cause for
a horse not eating enough. 1t Is
much essier to put too much hay ur
grain before horse and let him eat
what he will and muss and soil the
remainder, than it is to give lust the
rig bit amount and see that all is est
en- cleanly. No animal is more deli
cate in its food than horse. If the
manger is half filled with some hay
or other food the oder from this
takes away his appetite for what is
freshly placed tefnl- him Disre>
gard Of this fact is che reason why
horses often grow poor Oil cut feed

weather. l. sours very gaickly at

In our opinion nothing would result

a free run on banks under the NOR
