FEED AND DIET
FOR YOUR HORSE
BY DR.. A. c. Daniels Gnc.)
lrhese artIcIes appear eyery Thursdayll

These articles appear every ThursdaylI
In the matter of feeding your horse
judgment must be used as we'll as
knowledge. Many times care-takers,
when they know better. will be care
less In the kind OF feeding and the
manner in which II is given. II
causes many ills. some Of which be-
come chronic and seriously impair
the value and usefulness OF the ami
NAL. II is admitted by all medical
men, that a very large proportion, OF
the diseases common to live stock
are produced by errors in diet. No
special form Of feed should be the
continuous diet OF horse or other
animal. Variety Is as necessary in
the matter OF feed for an animal as
It is for human being. Thus: In
some stables. Il Is customary to feed
all the year round a mixture OF cut
hay. meal, shorts, salt and water;
all being mixed together and fed with
out regard to quantity or general
conditions. This continued food diet
OF one kind OF feed is detrimental TO
the health and strength of the horse,
causing collie, Indigestion and other
bowel troubles. Some horses with
powerful digestive organs may get
used to Il and appear to thrive on II
for time. A horse is said while
feeding to secrete saliva and gastric
juices at the rate OF gallon an hour.
Hence, one will see the folly OF add
ing TO the stomach. at the time OF
feed, large quantity OF water which
many do by allowing the horse to
drink Immediately before eating. A
horse does not require so much OF
the flesh making foods as n young
and growing animal. but he does re
auire larger variety. II horse be
fed more than enough to replace the
wear and tear OF his system that sur
plus is either excretcd from the body
or lays undIgested and turns to fat,
which lncapacitates them for fast or
hard work, and makes them subject
TO all acute diseases. OF course.
with the young animals that require
bone. nerve and muscle construction.
aud can feed largely and literally on
these materials. ground oats. meal,
cracked corn. bran, etc. make the
ideal feed, they however. should
never be fed in large quantities at a
time. The stomach Is not larger
than that Of a man and when fed in
excessive amounts the organs Of cir
oulatlon become impaired.
