Feeding The Farm Horse.

Probably the most important part in
the care OF the horse is the feeding A
large majority of the diseases among
farm horses result from faulty feeding
So many make the mistake of not Sc
curing the best feed. Thei- trouble
begins when partially matured, musty
and dusty feed is used
Several points should be taken into
consideration when we decide upon the
amount OF feed whether the animal is
accustomed to dry feed, and if in good
flesh or in thin, emaciated condition.
A horse should not he fed large
quantity of hay and grain without ex-
ercise. Many think that because a
horse is thin in flesh no work should
be required of him 1t is alN ays best
to work the flesh into the animal rath-
~er than to fatten him as you would a
steer.
A good plan is to have a stated pro-
gram as to time and amount OF feed to
be given. Horses, by all means
should be fed regularly. Hay requires
time for mastication and digestion
For this reason the large percentage
OF the hay should be fed at night.
Horses soon learn the manner of Civ
ing food and water, so it is best to have
one feeder and this plan followed out
for all the horses. The horse should
receive some water the first thing in
the morning After watering the horse
is fed small amount of hay and then
given grain after all the hay has been
eaten By this plan the feed which is
the most difficult to digest is left in
the stomach. and therefore receives
proper digestion. The noon feed should
be given after the horse is cooled and
has been allowed to rest for fifteen min.
utes or half an hour. A small quantity
of water may be given soon after the
horse is brought to the barn. Feed
hay, and when the animal is thorough
ly cooled, give all the water he desires
after which feed the grain. At might
feed the same as at noon, only give
more hay in fact feed as much hay al
night as is given at both morning and
noon meals. When a horse is working
hard and is fed large quantities oI
grain, it is found advisable, once 4
week. to give bran mash for the even.
ing meal. The bran acts as a laxative
and prevents indigestion and possibly
case of colic.-C. L. Barnes, Colorad,
Agricultural College, Fort Collins.
