Ration No. i, which consisted partially of gluten feed, 

 proved quite satisfactory in every sense of the word. The 

 ration is moderate in cost, and all of the horses ate it with a 

 relish. By glancing at the table it will be observed that Rob 

 lost slightly in weight, Bess held her own, Maud gained in 

 weight, Nell also gained in weight, and Mag held her weight 

 throughout the period.
