PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Preparation of Food for Animals, Game, and Poultry.
I JOHN WOODROFFE HILL of Hastings in the County of Sussex Veterinary Surgeon
do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to the manufacture and preparation of a new food for dogs
and other animals and for game and poultry. This food is specially valuable as a
preventative of skin disease in dogs or other animals.
In carrying out this Invention I will state as an example the proportions of the
various ingredients which may be employed in the production of a mass of about
twenty hundred weight. For this purpose I take about 8 cwt. of wheat flour
about half a cwt. of rice about 6 cwt. of oatmeal about 4 cwt. of animal matter such
for example as the flesh of animals about half a cwt. of maize about one cwt. of
Potatoes to which must be added about either 28 pounds of Celery or 56 pounds
of Carrots or 28 pounds of Parsnips as may be most readily obtainable and about
28 pounds of Molasses and a small quantity of dyalized iron and Chlorate of Potash
or other equivalent salt. These several ingredients having when necessary been
reduced to a powdery or pulpy state are then well mixed together sufficient water
being employed to bring the whole to a pasty consistency after which the paste so
obtained is baked and converted into bread cakes or biscuits and when so converted
is ready for use. Some of the above ingredients may be dispensed with and the
proportions of all may be varied but in all cases the admixture must contain
either Celery Carrots or Parsnips together with dyalised iron and Chlorato of Potash
or other equivalent salt.

An Improved Preparation of Food for Animals, Game, and Poultry.
I JOHN WOODLOFFE HILL of Hastings in the County of Sussex Veterinary Surgeon
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This Invention relates to the manufacture and preparation of a new food for dogs
and other animals and for game and poultry which food is especially valuable as a
preventitive of skin disease in dogs and other animals. According to this Invention
I employ a combination with ordinary or suitable ingredients celery, carrots or
parsnips (either one or any two or all three of them) with or without molasses and
preferably with dyalized iron or chlorate of potash or both of them. As suitable or
ordinary ingredients with which I may incorporate ingredients according to my
Invention I may instance the following as an example in preparing a quantity of
about a ton viz. :-8 cwt. of wheaten flour, 6 cwt. of oatmeal 4 cwt. of animal matter
such for example as the flesh of animals, 1 cwt. of potatoes and a half cwt. each of rice
and maize. These I instance as suitable ingredients and proportions but I do not
limit myself to them, I then add the ingredient or ingredients according to my
Invention which may be used in the following proportions, either 28 pounds of
celery, or 56 pounds of carrots or 28 pounds of parsnips either being used as
desired or any two or all three of them may be used together preferably in pro-
portions according with the above. Molasses may be added say about 28 pounds
thereof and a small quantity of dialized iron or a small quantity of chlorate of
potash (or both together) may also be and preferably is or are added.
I do not limit myself to the precise proportions of the foregoing ingredients. The
whole of the ingredients are well mixed together such of them as may require it being
reduced to a pulpy or powdered state. Sufficient water may be added to bring the
whole to a pasty consistency after which the mass or paste so obtained is made into
any suitable shaped or sized pieces cakes or biscuits and baked and is then ready for
the market.
Some of the above ingredients may be dispensed with and the proportions of all
may be varied but in all cases the mixture according to my Invention will contain
either celery, carrots or parsnips or any two or all three of them with or without
dyalized iron and chlorate of potash. Where potatoes are used in the mixture
without either celery, carrots or parsnips being used the dyalized iron and chlorate of
potash or either of them will be an improvement in the food.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
First. A preparation or food for animals, game and poultry wherein is or are used
in addition to ordinary or suitable other ingredients either celery, carrots or parsnips
or any two or all three of them with or without dyalized iron and chlorate of potash
(one or both of them) substantially as hereinbefore described whether there also be
used molasses or not.
Second. A preparation or food for animals, game and poultry wherein potatoes are
used as an ingredient or wherein ordinary ingredients are used the use of dyalized
iron and chlorate of potash or either of them substantially as hereinbefore described.
