92 Other Forms of Admixture. 



Divided among seven horses, each would 

 receive over 102 Ibs. per week, costing 7s. l^d., 

 and obtain 23'86 Ibs. N.M. 



Six horses would receive 120 Ibs., costing 

 85. 3Jd., and obtain 27'84 Ibs. N.M. 



Five horses would receive 124 Ibs., costing 

 9s. lljd., and obtain 33 40 Ibs. N.M. 



It must be borne in mind that good hay yields 

 five per cent, of N.M. which must be added to 

 the above for the quantity used. 



It will also be observed that peas are named 

 in the foregoing mixtures to the exclusion of 

 beans. They are not so productive of consti- 

 pation as beans, which on that account enables us 

 to use them with greater freedom. Beans are, 

 however, unobjectionable when used with oats 

 and bran, chaff, &c., in sufficient quantities. 

 Prices must regulate these mixtures from time to 

 time, due consideration being paid to the N.M. 

 contained in the various kinds of grain. 



When the prices of grain are much increased, 

 such mixtures as the following must be taken, 

 and will be found adequate at an equally low 

 cost. 



From the Field of 21st September, 1867, we 

 learn the prices current at Mark Lane were, for 

 oats, 35^. ; barley, 43s. ; peas, 43s. ; beans, 44s. 

 per quarter of eight bushels, and tares, 7s. per 

 bushel. Bran cost at that time 6s. per cwt. of 

 eight bushels.
