including salt. leather scrapings, hair,

FEEDING OLD HORSES.

When horses get old their teeth fire.
quently get out OF order and become
sharp and irregular at the edges, so as
TO wound the gums; probably a molar
tooth gets broken of, so that its an
tagonist becomes long and projecting,
and in time prevents its neighbors
from doing their duty. While the old
man, under similar circumstances, can
resort 10 dentist. or 10 soup, bread
and milk or TO the sausage machine,
the old horse is expected, in the gener'
allty OF cases, TO masticate his food
as we'll as ever. The same food is
given as TO young horses, except, per
haps, little corn is taken from the
old horse TO feed those that answer the
best for it. Laborers have no respect
for old age in horses more than in other
cases. Gradually the old horse gets
lower and lower, and he is termed
worn out" Here, then, is the case for
the special food, and hence the marvels

the nourishment in the form of meal,
doing that for the old horse that he
