POINTS ON HORSE FEEDING.
InjadiciOus Feeding Causes Collie
When TO Feed.

One of the best points made by the
State Veterinarian, Doctor Butler, az
the Institute IN North Carolina, was
in drawing attention to the lnjudlcious
feeding OF horses. He asked how many
of those present, when they were about
to drive a nun Der Of miles TO b In-
stltute, gave their horses extra feed.
1t was evident that most of them did
so. The TACT is, as he said, we should,
under such circumstances, have fed
less, No man feels like doing hard
work right away after Q hearty dinner,
and the horse is similarly affected by a
hearty meal. Feeding heavily before
requiring more work OF a horse than
usual is apt to result in indigestion and
co.ic, as the blood that was needed by
the stomach to digest food is obliged to
be used to support the muscles at work.
He also said that as the horse has a
small stomach as compared with other
large animals it would be better for the
work horse to have ali his hay at night,
and during the day TO divide the grain
feed among the three feeding times,
and to feed less of the bulky hay. Then,
too, a horse coming IN from a hard
days work Is not in a TIT clpdltion to
digest food, n it would be far better
to let him stand and rest an hour before
feeding.
Horses at work should be watered be.
tween meals in the field, and then they
will not be apt 10 drink more than is
needed at moo Horses seldom, if
ever, develop colo before breakfast, but
generally either in the middle of the
forenoon or afternoon, or soon after
dark, and injudicious feeding is more
generally the cause than anything else.
These are common sense ideas, but are
seldom practiced. To show how COM
mon is the notion that a horse should
be fed directly for the performance of
work, a writer in the Farm Journal
says that the rural mail carriers should
feel their horses half way of their
drive. when they will be a great deal
better able TO work without their
stomachs being over full. = Practical
Farmer.
