confirmed by the Earl of Pembroke, that if 
the oats given to horfes are firft broken, nog 
ground, ina mill, the fame quantity will prove 
doubly nutritious. His lordthip directed an

a trial of fix weeks, the fix horfes which hag 
been fed with only half the quantity.of the 
oats grofsly broken, and had done the fame 
work, were really in as good, if not better 
condition, than thofe which had been fed
