I, WILLIAM CAY FORSYTH, F.C.S. of 46 Queen's Road, Leytonstone, Essex,
Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to a new manufacture of horse and cattle food, composed of
linseed, oats, locust beans, maize together with a small proportion of mixed spices
and salt. I prefer to manufacture such food as follows: I take about:
2 parts by weight of Linseed or Linseed meal.
of Oats or Oat meal.

of mixed spices, such as Fenngreek, coreander, and
aniseed.
of Common salt.
The locust beans and Maize are first subjected to heat in a kiln at a temperature
of about 150° F., and the whole of the ingredients are then thoroughly incorporated
by a process of grinding or disintegration.
The product is then ready for use either as a meal, or this meal may be made up
in the form of cakes or biscuits, in which latter case a larger percentage of salt is to
be used, and the water employed for forming the dough has a small proportion of
gum tragacanth mixed with it for binding the whole together. The dough thus
prepared may either be baked in an oven, or it may simply be more or less
compressed and dried.
The Locust beans and maize may in some cases be advantageously treated first
with suitable acids, in order to destroy all gummy constituents, the acids being then
5 neutralised by the addition of suitable alkaline substances.
Dated this 11th day of November 1896.

The Locust beans and Maize are first subjected to heat in a kiln at a temperature
of about 150° F., and the whole of the ingredients are then thoroughly incorporated
by a process of grinding or disintegration.
The product is then ready for use either as a meal, or this meal may be made up
in the form of cakes or biscuits, in which latter case a larger percentage of salt is to
be used, and the water employed for forming the dough has a small proportion of
gum tragacanth mixed with it for binding the whole together. The dough thus
prepared may either be baked in an oven, or it may simply be more or less compressed
and dried.
The Locust beans and maize may-in some cases be advantageously treated first with
suitable acids, in order to destroy all gummy constituents, the acids being then
neutralisel by the addition of suitable alkaline substances.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
