Straw for Idle Horses.
Straw is a feed very high in fibre
and the horse's digestive system is
not suited to the liberal use of this
roughage. It is not a suitable feed
for horses at hard work, but during
the winter months may be used to
advantage where hay is scarce, and
particularly 11 -a little grain is fed
along with it. It is just a question
whether it is more economical to
feed good hay and no grain than it
Is to feed a percentage of bright
straw and a ration of crushed oats.
Only clean, bright straw, should be
used for horses and one or two feeds •
per day, replacing hay should be
found advantageous under certain
circumstances. We have seen horses
wintered in good condition on oat
straw and a light grain ration. If
bay were available for a light feed
once a day the other two feeds could
be composed of straw, and less groin
would be required than where the
entire roughage ration was straw.
Oat straw makes the best feed, bar-
ley straw coining second and wheat
and rYe straw last. A. few roots may
bo ased to good advantage with the
straw, and under uu eireumstanees
is irt good policy to whiter horses on
straw without sumac menting it. with
