LETrER OE TRANSMITTAL 



U. S. Department of Agriculture, 



Office of Experiment Stations, 



Washmgton, D. C, May 1, 1903. 

 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith an article on horse feed- 

 ing, prepared by C. F. Langworthy, of this Office, and recommend 

 that it be published as a Farmers' Bulletin. The bulletin discusses 

 the general principles of feeding, with especial reference to horses, 

 and summarizes the results of recent experimental work, particularly 

 that of American experiment stations, the material in its present form 

 being very largely an abridgment of a more technical publication by 

 the same author, issued as Bulletin No. 125 of the Office of Experi- 

 ment Stations, entitled "A Digest of Eecent Experiments on Horse 

 Feeding." 



Respectfully, A. C. True, 



Director. 

 Hon. James Wilson, 



Secretary of Agriculture.
