Feed for Horses.

Mai. A. W. CARRIER of Richmond, who
in his transfer business there and on his
! farm, works large numbers OF horses, at a
recent nesting OF the Tuckahoe Farmers
Club read paper.o On the ''Bsst Feed and
Method of Feeding Work-anim ais'' HIS
large experience makes bis opinions very
| valuable. He said
Improper feeding is the prolific cause of
| disease in horses, whether used up)a the
| farm Or in the city.
They should always be fed regularly and
in such quantities as will keep them in
| good condition. Horses that work hard
! will require nearly twice the amount Of
| food Chat an idle horse does, aud large
p, horse will need much larger amount
than a small one.
From fourteen pounds to sixteen pounds
Of grain and the same quantity OF COED
| hay is regarded as generous allowance
for hard working horse Of large siZs.-
| Grain OF some kind should always be given
horses that work hard. Hay or grass
alone is not sufficient. The fool should
| be chiefly oats, with some hay. Oats seem
to be the natural food of horses, and to
be preferred to any other kind CT grain.
They supply more nourishment and fish
making material than auy other kind OF
food. Corn is rather heating, and should
never be fed alone. Ii is best when ground
ard fed with other food. A mixture of
| two-thirds oats and one-:ilirG corn in
summer and about half and half in winter
is think, the best proportion for hard
| worked horses on the farm or In the city
| II the corn and oats are crushed | think
J it better. as it will be easier digeSted and
| less waste.
! Cut hay moistened with water, with
meal and bran mixed with it makes a
splendid feed-if not the best, tie CHI aapest
| Poor hay Or damaged gralu should never
be given to horses. Cat hay Is much bet
| ter than that which is not cu5.
New grain and new hay should not be
| fed in connection, and never in large
quantities, but should be mixed in part
with that which is old.
