They produce no hay in Turkey, and as a substitute 

 for it, feed their horses and other animals upon the Wheat 

 and Barley straw. It is cut into pieces of 2 or 3 inches 

 in length, and appears to be eaten with the same avidity 

 that hay is by our Cattle. It must therefore be more 

 nourishing than our straw, or we are not sufficiently ac- 

 quainted with this property of it. It is also probably 

 more valuable as a manure after having been subjected 

 to the digestive processes of the Animal. Barley is 

 used instead of oats. 



The Bag of wheat will be disposed of in any manner 

 that the Society may direct.
