 should be avoided by using with it cut hay. 

 Equal parts of hay and pea-straw, or three parts 

 of hay to one of bean-straw, will answer very well 

 for working horses, but I deprecate filling the 

 racks with either. 



The many fatal cases of disease which occur 

 from their use, is owing to the inferior condition 

 of the straw, coupled with being in undue quanti- 

 ties and other irregularities, which too often exist 

 in the farm stable. 



SAVING TO BE EFFECTED. 



Carefully carried out, these principles will 

 effect an enormous saving, and I have no hesita- 

 tion in stating that, among the numbers of animals 

 employed in Glasgow and other large towns of 

 Great Britain, it may be raised to thousands of 

 pounds annually, and, in addition, a corresponding

The farmer need not grudge his horse corn,
