oats was directly compared with oats alone as a horse 

 food. The horse bread had to be used in rations of 

 twice the weight of the oats in order to give the 

 same results. The bread, however, was relished 

 by all horses and did not appear to cause con- 

 stipation or other bad effects. On the contrary 

 it appeared to be palatable and readily digested, 

 partly on account of its mechanical condition. 

 The use of bread made from any kind of flour for 

 feeding horses will naturally depend entirely 

 upon the price of flour which is usually too high 

 as compared with untreated grains. The use of 

 bread for horse feeding will not be extensive for 

 some time to come. 



Dried Brewer's Grains. Farmers have learned 

 the high feeding value of dried brewer's grains for 

 various kinds of stock and at present all of this 

 material is ordered far ahead of the actual pro- 

 duction so that it is somewhat difficult to obtain it. 

 The most extensive experiments in feeding dried 

 brewer's grains to horses have been carried on in 

 New Jersey, where it was found that this material 

 was quite as useful as oats, pound for pound in a 

 ration for horses. When dried brewer's grains 

 were substituted for a part of the oats in the ration 

 containing hay, wheat bran, and corn, a saving of 

 five cents per day per horse was accomplished. 

 In feeding this material to horses it should be 

 remembered that one pound of dried brewer's 

 grains is equal to four pounds of wet, and is far 

 more desirable than the wet grain. 



Dried Distillery Grains. This material, until 

 recently, has not been fed to farm animals so 

 extensively as dried brewer's grains and has not 

 been subjected to as careful feeding tests as the 

 latter. Since, however, it appears to be impossible,
