that your horse has what is called
"chorea' which is obscure affiiction,
and its cause not well understood. Treat

tell me the fattening and feeding volume
of rough rice as compared to Indian corn or
maize? VIII it injure the eyes OF horse5?
Being In the cavalry during the late war
was stationed on the coast Of our state.
The people down there told US the horses
would so bind il fed on rice. An early re-
ply viii greatly oblge me.
The analysis of Indian corn, cleaned
rice and rice hulls are as follows:
Indian corn, protein, l0.5; carbohydrate.
69.3: fat, SIS. Rice, clean, protein, "a; car
bohydrttes, 7g2; fat GA. Rice hulls, pro-
tcin, SO; carbohydrates. $50; fat, OF. From
the above We would conclude that clean
rice is but little less valuable feed
than Indian corn, ana rough rice about
two-thirds as valuable as corn. We DO not
know anything of rice causing blindness
i'm horses. It is not a well balanced ration,
as it contains too much heat and fat pro-
ducing substances and not enough flesh
formers. This would he corrected by mix
ing oats with the rice. say half and nalf.
