HORSES BoLTING GRAIN.
Several Reasons Why They Get Habit
How to Cure Them.

When a horse bolts his grain the
first step should be to see that his
teeth are in proper order, as sharp
points or other irregularities may be
making it impossible for him properly
to masticate his grain, and may easily
be set right by judicious use of the
veterinary rasps sold for the purpose.
Next it is important that the horse
should be allowed a sufficient length
of time in which comfortably and
properly to masticate his food. If he
is rushed into and out of the stable
at noon he soon learns to bolt his food,
as the habit comes from hurry and
hunger. In addition to allowing am
pie time for grain eating discourage
bolting by feeding the grain from
box with very wide bottom, SO that
it will be thinly distributed, under
which circumstances the horse will
find it impossible to grab a full mouth
full to be bolted unmasticated. Put
ting some cobblestones in the feed box
also helps to prevent bolting, and an
other excellent plan suggested by the
Rural New Yorker is to mix some hard
peas, horse beans or even shelled
corn with the oats, as the horse will
chew well to enjoy the flavor of the
added grains, and incidentally grind
his oats thoroughly. The objection to
feeding sheaf oats in place of oats
is that horse has \ small stomach.
The capacity OF which is but three and
one-half gallons or thereabout, so
that he needs concentrated food in
small quantities often when at hard
work. Oats havo to be fully maslicGt-
ed in the mouth, where they are
drcnched with the saliva, which acts
upon the starchy matters The oats
rhen pass to the stomach, where they
remain for hours for full action of the
gastric juice, which acts upon the pro-
tein constituents; then the partially
digested food passes slowly along the
many feet of small intestines, after
meeting the digestive fluids of the
duodenum, and gives up most of its
nutrients to the absorbent organs
during the journey to the large intes.
tine. On the contrary. hay, straw and
FODDER, after partial mastication in the
mouth, pass quickly through the
stomach and are stored in the large in
testlnes (caecum and colons), and If
led with oats or Just after oats tend to
iorce the grain out of the stomach un-
dlgested. Theoretically a horse should
therefore be fed hay first and then
oats or other concentrates, and as wa
ter passes through the stomach to the
caecum it should be given always
before feeding.
