HUNTING. 135 



Henry Street, London, ten of which are equal 

 to one good feed of oats, and are so relished 

 that not so much as a crumb is suffered to go 

 to waste. They combine all the most nutritious 

 of grains, with dates and linseed added in such 

 proportions as experience has pointed out to 

 the inventor to be the best. They are then 

 baked, and thoroughly dried, so that they are 

 entirely deprived of moisture, and wiU con- 

 sequently keep good for any length of time. 

 The baking process being complete, they are, 

 when eaten, practically half-digested, — or, as 

 I may say, they present the materials to the 

 horse in the most digestible form in which it 

 is possible to give them. There are certain 

 chemicals used in very minute quantities in 

 the manufacture of these biscuits, which are 

 productive of highly beneficial effects upon 

 animals thus fed, — improving their muscular 

 development, and imparting to their coats a 

 pecuHarly healthy and brilliant appearance. 

 One feed of the forage-biscuits three or four 

 times weekly is the proper allowance, — and 

 they should be given whole, as the same 

 objection appHes to the breaking of them
