feed was meadow-hay, night and morning, and English 

 hay at noon. Also, two quarts of meal each, per day. 

 The first summer, they had pasture feed, and I commenced 

 to meal them in the fall again. Last winter, when they 

 worked hard, I fed them eight quarts of meal each, per 

 day, with meadow hay morning and night, and English 

 hay at noon. They were turned out to pasture last June, 

 and have had meal occasionally, as they were taken home 

 to work. The first of September, they were- turned in 

 fall feed, with two quarts of meal each, per day, to the 

 present time. Their weight to-day, is 3330 pounds.
