COTTONSEED MEAL FOE HOESES. 9 



SUGGESTED RATIONS CONTAINING COTTONSEED 



MEAL. 



The following daily rations have been prepared with a view oi 

 suggesting combinations of feed containing cottonseed meal, from 

 which the feeder may derive rations that will meet his local needs. 

 It should be noted that the following rations are for a horse weigh- 

 ing 1,000 pounds. Modifications of these rations should be made 

 for heavier or lighter horses. For example, in order to meet the 

 requirements for a horse weighing 1,250 pounds the rations suggested 

 should be increased in accordance with the increase in weight, which 

 in this case is 25 per cent. Roughly this would give the feed re- 

 quirement for the heavier horse.
