then commenced feeding with different kinds of hay, with 

 two quarts of meal per day each, until the first of March, 

 when I commenced feeding four quarts per day each until 

 the present time. I give them clear corn meal dry, twice 

 a day, two quarts at night and two in the morning. 



Have seen to the feeding of them myself, and have 

 taken the best of care of them. They were partly fed 

 with green fodder corn this last Fall, the same as the year 

 before. I think that feeding different kinds of hay is 

 better than it is to confine them to one kind. They eat 

 some salt hay every day and relish it.
