How to Feed a Horse.' 

 Feed the horse hay after drinking' water the 

 first thing- in the morning and his oats after the 

 small amount of hay has been eaten ; at' noon, 

 water, then oats; at night, water, then oats, and 

 two hours afterwards all the hay he will clean up 

 before morning. More than twenty pounds of 

 hay should never be offered to .any horse, no mat- 

 ter how large and heavy he may be. Hay should 

 not be kept in front of a horse all of the time, as 

 it is on many farms; so used it is a positive detri^ 

 ment, rather than a benefit to the animal.
