Maintenance Rations 303 



These rations serve as examples and also indicate 

 how with ten pounds or twelve pounds of hay the sev- 

 eral grains mentioned may be combined to give a main- 

 tenance ration. It is not wise to feed a horse on hay 

 alone, even when doing no work. Ten to twelve pounds 

 of hay are enough coarse fodder, which may be supple- 

 mented to advantage by both roots and grain.
