That judgement which comes Of experience will always be a safer guide than any - mechanical rules for feeding, but this is certain however ; whatever feeding stuffs are used, and what, ever order of feeding is adopted, regularity and uniformity should at all times prevail in both feeding and watering. If water is always available, a horse will not take too much to injure himself, but with working horses it will always be found better to give, them their regular and largest "supply pre- vious to feeding, :init may also be well to supply a limited tp antity after feeding.

Lrvaalard who made observations covering a number of years with 32, 000 omnibus, army, and draft horses, came to the conclusion that a horse performing ordinary work requires at the rate of digestible nutrients per 100 pounds of live weight. This is equivalent to 12.1 pounds of digestible food daily for a 1000 pound horse, a quantity not inconsistent with the German standard. Suitable foods For horees.—Jt is necessary especially with' hard working horses, that a large pro- portion of the daily ration be .com- posed of the snore concentrated feeding stuffs. A horse would have is this the case, but our horses are to consume over 401bs.. of hay to healthier and better in every way. obtain 17.7 lbs. daily of digestible out 'with was 4 lbs. cut hay, 3.4 lb. bran and 5 lbs. ground oats and barley to each horse night and morning, and four lbs. dry oats at noon only. Our horses are gener- ally of large size, and are doing excessively hard. work, and we found this ration too small for thein and we gradually increased it until we settled down to this :- 5 lbs. hay, five lbs. ground grain, and % pound of bran to each horse morning and night, and 8 lbs of dry oats at noon only (no hay), and this we find ample for the largest horses doing the most excessive work. Our saving is at least 10 lbs. of hay per day for each horse, and 6 lbs. of grain for each. Not only nutrients. the approxinate amount required by a horse at severe labor. Ten to twelve pounds of hay daily is quite sufficent for a draft horse. The mangers of work horses on farms are kept constantly supplied with hay, which is not only waste- ful but injurious to the animal as well. Recent researches have shown that muscular effort is largely sus- tained by the carbo—hydrates an d and fats of the food, and it is prob- ably true that rations composed of the ordinary farm produc ts. meadow hay,straw,silage,roots and two cereal grains will be found suf- ficiently rich in protein without the addition. of nitrogenous feeding- stuffs. eedingstuffs: Doubtless in cases of heavy labor, the additon of a little oil meal or other nitrogenous food would be beneficial. According to the German standards the nutritive ratio should be from 1.7 to 1.6 ac- cording to the severity of labor, the daily weight of protein to be from 1.5 to 2,5 pounds. Oats are regarded by many as essential to the maintenance of the driving or working horse, but many other foods are successfully used in their place, wheat bran, corn barley dried brewers' grains etc.,are often used instead of oats without any bad results, and frequently with ,,with considerable advantage in the cost of the ration. titnc+thy hay, although not particuti r ly rich in digestible nutrients, in preferred by most horsemen, chiefly on 'ac- count of the freedom from dust,and the ease with which it may distin- guished from other grasses. With wl'rking horses whose sustenance is largely supplied by the grain food, timothy is probably the most satisfactory roughage, but bright clean clover is excellent for idle horses and colts, and requires very little grain in addition to form a suitable ration. SOME SA.ACPLM RATIONS,. -.-,Some good rations for 1000 pound horses at Moderate work are suggested by .Jordan —(1) 10 lbs. timothy or mixed hay, 11% lbs. oats.
