A new FOOD
FOX HORSES
Experiments With Cheaper Fodder
for the Animals Has So Far
Proven to be
Success.
NO NAME FOR IT
The New Stuff is Not on the Market
Yet, sut Very Likely it
Soon VIII
NO NAME FOR IT

Just as man. has been forced by the
higher cost of living or by his own
dietary preference to adopt one or
another fashionable breakfast food,
so the horse has been introduced by
the government feed vsarps to the
first equine breakfast food ever de-
vised.
1t doesn't come in sanitary and
short weight packages as yet, nor has
it been given snappy name. although
it might well he called 'Peacemeal
or "Copeanuts.'' There's res
too, for the new breakfast food that
it is said should be -ou..d in every
manger is made of two parts cocoa
nut meal and one part peanut meal.
To prove that this combination of
meals can give as good or better re-
suits than the old fashioned oats and
linseed meal feed has been the labor
of many months on the Morgan horse
farm established by the Bureau of
Animal Industry at Weybricge, near
Middlebury, VT.
There George NJ. Rommel, chief OF
the animal husbandry cs~.sion and his
assistant. W. r. Hammond have stud
led carefully the effects OF the ne-
.ood on warnings of the uncomfortable
Morgan strain, as well as on work
horses.
e., ~ Urn
thorough success, but the horses did
not greet the new substitute with
neighs of pleasure. according to MI
Rommels report AS he expresses it
in communicating the results to the
department of agricu1.are
None of the horses took to the co
eaanut and peanut mea. .ation eaeer
IL. and the work horse team so fed
was off feed during the first three
weeks. Aside from these instances NO
difficulty whatever 49, experienced
end the horses were reported in good
condition.
Thus the old fashioned preference
Of The horses for the oats and bran
mash of their sires is dismissed by
the experts. who found that the horses
really did not know what was good
for them. For example, lot of three
vaarlines We're fed on "a variety Of
grain feed. as we'll as whole oats
ground oats and hay Another lot
OF three yearlines were fed the same
ration. except that the coccanut meaI
replaced one-half the CATS and no old
process linseed meal was fed. One
of the two lots as c-ninared afte'
nearly four months feeding. the lo'
fed on old fashioned fodder had gam
ed only % OF a pound per day, whila
the yearings on part of the breakfast
food fodder had gained l.o6 POUNDS
per day.
Another lot OF four yearlings were
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-03-21

sentenced to be fed on oats and no
old process linseed meal at all. ana
their grain food was replaced entirely
by the peanut and cocoanut meal
These gained 1.15 pounds per day.
AS to the relative costs of those
foods, the experiment showed that for
the lot fed on the regulation old style
fodder the cost was s15.333 per 100
pounds. The yearlings fed in part on
breakfast food had a board bill of $13.-
80 per hundred pounds, while the
warnings that ate peanut and cocoa
nut meal exclusively cost the govern
ment just s12.O2 for every hundred
weight they tucked away.
Yet there is something showing in
the kinship of all breakfast foods in
the observation made by Mr.. Rom
mel, who says that the lot fed On the
new food ate quite little more feed
than the others"
In trying out the scientific rations
on the work horses however, there
was different story A team of two
work horses was fed on the usual
ration of oats whole r..d ground
corn bran and hay, and two other
work horses were fed the same ration
except that the cocoanut and pea
nut meal mixture replaced the ground
oats, which amounted to about one
half the oats fed. Both .hese teams
worked $3.50 hours durtns the per
Tod of the first test and me team fed
on old fashioned fodder gained sixty
pounds in weight. while the other
team gained only twenty pounds. The
saving in the cost OF Feeding was
small, the cost pc" 100 working hours
being 5000 for the team on regula
ton food and sS.9S for thu team eat
ing peanut and cocoanut meal
As to the relative costs of food. Mr.
Rommel says: "On account of the eX
cessive contract price of oats during
the last fiscal year considerable
saving in Tho cost of zee ration was
expected. While oats cost S43.T5 pei
ton delivered at the farm, and cocoa
nut and peanut meal 20 per ion, de
livered at the railroad station. two
miles from the farm. This test seems
to indicate that the prices paid for
feed at the time cocoanut and pea
nut meal, in the propo. ;ions of two
pounds to one, can replace oats il
the ration Of Young horses and may
be found advantageous TOR work hor
ses after they become accustomed tt
( it"
Whether the horses will become &C
customed to it is a question of course
although 1t is generally conceded tina
the government has bes-.n well b,
trying the meal fodder on as intelli
gent a breed as the l-o.gans. The
farm near Middlebury was started
some four years ago with the inten
ton of insuring the per.-tuation o
"the king of roadsters, the clean
i iowled, broad hipped, tough little
driving horse of the pure Morgan type
