31 A mixture of finely ground straw and molasses. 



32 The grain hulls are spread upon the floor, sprinkled and mixed with one-half of the 

 molasses (each pound of molasses is diluted with 2 quarts of water). The bran and shorts 

 are mixed in, after which the balance of the molasses dissolved in water is sprinkled over 

 the mass, which is once more mixed and is then ready for use. 



33 Mixed in the same way as in ration 2. 



34 Heavy team horses averaging 1430 lbs. in weight. The oats were fed whole, the barley 

 crubhed, and the molasses added to the grains in the manger and mixed in. 



35 Suggesled by Lindsey for horses weighing 1200 lbs. and doing moderate farm work. 

 Grain can be increased if work is strenuous, and hay somewhat reduced. 



3* A quart of molasses weighs about three pounds.
