There Is much more to feeding old
Dcbbin than simply giving him little
corn and oats and then allowing him to

able. Close observation is needed more
in feeding horses than any other class
or live stock. Horses Of the same
weight may have different feed require
ments which make it necessary to
study the individuality Of the animals.
Il the horse is not doing well on a
ration a slight change should be made,
but an abrupt change may cause diges-
tive disturbances.
To furnish energy for work. the
horse must be fed In excess Of what
Is needed for bodily maintenance. The
amount Of feed needed for mainte-
nance is about two-thirds Of that re-
quired for a horse doing moderate
work. II the work calls for more en-.
ergy than that I'm the ration. the stored
up energy Of the body fat, or other
body tissues, will be drawn upon with
a consequent loss in body weight and
energy. II such feeding is continued,
the horse will be so weakened that he
will be unable to perform his work
prefitably, and also will be especially
liable to disease.
No Universal Feed.
No feed or combination Of feeds will
meet conditions in all parts of the
country, and no feed or mixture is suit
able for all classes of horses. In choos-
Ing ration for horse, select the one
that meets his requirements, whether
for growth. maintenance, work, breed
Ing or fattening. Then estimate the
amount Of feed needed. and try cut
the ration. 1t may then appear that
too little Is being fed, or that the ra-
ton may be changed somewhat for
economy or efficiency. II a number
Of horses are kept, different rations
may be tested on different animals,
and the best one selected for general
use. but individual feeding gives the
best results.
II feeds deficient in protein are fed.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1919-05-23

an excessive amount must be con.
srmed In order that the system may
secure the required amount Of protein,
and waste Of feed will be the result.
1t Is essential, therefore, to use q bal.
anced ration-one containing protein
and carbOhydrates-in such proportion
that they will meet the animals need
without waste.
More Grain for Light Horses.
Horses Of the light breeds, used for
pleasure or racing, need more grain
and less hay than do horses doing slow
or heavy work. Oats easily rank first
among the feeds for light horses, and
may be supplemented with crushed or
soaked barley and bran. Corn is too
fattening to constitute the bulk of the
concentrates for light horses. It may
be used, however, il supplemented with
linseed meal or bran. A mixture Of
one Of the leguminous hays. such as
alfalfa or clover, fed with timothy or
other hay will furnish the roughage. A
larger quantity Of hay should be al
lowed for horses less actively employ.
ed. and should be fed mostly at
night. One pound of hay and from
one to one and one-fourth pounds
Of grain to 100 pounds Of live weight
will be sufficient for such light horses
az moderate work.
The quantity Of feed for the work
horse depends on the amount Of work
and on the speed ut which 1t is per-
formed; horse requires considerably
more feed when working at the trot
than at the walk. 1t Is good rule
to allow IL pounds Of grain and one
and one-fifth pounds Of hay to
every 100 pounds live weight for horses
at moderate weight. At this rate q
1,200-pound horse would require Is
pounds Of grain and IAN pounds Of
hay day. If the work Is severe, the
quantity Of grain should be increased.
The horse at hard work requires one
and one-fourth to one and onethlrd
pounds of grain for 100 pounds live
weight. The hay, hownh should not
be more than one and q burn t6unds
for an equal amount Of I'VE weight. Z
