of the hay, and may be advantageously given, 

 as we have already advised, mixed with the corn, 

 to all the horses in the winter that are out of 

 training; but horses that are gluttonously in- 

 clined, and mostly idle in their wind, had better 

 be well fed with corn alone, and afterwards have 

 their hay in the usual way. To some of the light- 

 carcassed hearty horses, it may be given occa- 

 sionally ; but for the light, flighty, delicate feed- 

 ing horses, some sweet rich clover hay cut into 

 chaff is preferable on account of its very nutri- 

 tious qualities, and may be given to them mixed 

 with their corn at any time, as they are always 

 in good wind. ChaflP being thus mixed with 

 their corn, causes them to grind it more per- 

 fectly.
