in honey, fax, orchard products and

Bulletin No. 195 of the Ohio expert.
ment station takes up n discussion Of
the interesting as well as practical
question OF the relative value OF corn
and oats as feed for work horses
While the general impression among
farmers and horsemen is that oats are
distinctly superior to corn as an ex-
elusive ration. IL was found I'm the
course OF feeding experiments covering
a period Of forty-eight weeks that the
corn fed horses endured hard work in
hot weather without discomfort, and
neither were they lazy nor sluggish
Neither did the oat fed horses show
Increased spirit or endurance. During
the test the roughage was mixed tim
othy and clover. Where both feeds
are at hand a mixed ration OF oats
and corn is recommended as the best
and most satisfactory ration.
