< ^ DRIVING AS I FOUND IT. 



The time of feedinj^ sLould be hk equally divided as 

 convenience will permit. When it is likely that the 

 horse will be kept longer than usual from home the nose- 

 bag should invariably be taken. The small stomach of 

 the horse is emptied in a few hours, and if it is allowed 

 to remain hungry much beyond the accustomed time he 

 will afterwards devour his food so voraciously as to dis- 

 tend his stomach and endanger his system generally. 



One of the most successful methods of enabling a 

 horse to get well through a long journey is to give him 

 only a little at a time while on the road and at night to 

 indulge him with a double feed of grain and a full al- 

 lowance of hay or chaff.
