After the holidays MANY farmers
have not enough work to give their
horses proper exercise and particularly
when they are first confined to the
stables they have trouble with swollen
legs and other arrangements. This
state of affairs may usually be avoided
by adjusting the food to the changed
conditions. Horses that do little work
during winter do not require much
grain If they are getting good alfalfa or
mountain hay md they are often kept
in excellent condition by feeding only
n small amount of grain when fed
straw instead of alfalfa hay. a fair
proportion of the winter grain ration
should consist of bran which in addi-
tion to having q rather high nutritive
value acts as Il mild lnxitive and keeps
the digestive system in healthy con-
dition. An occasional mess of boiled
grain IL also n fine thing for farm
horses In winter. Boiled barley is very
much relished but when 1t is not at
hand we would use oats. Denver
