The Work Horse.

Oil meal or ground flaxseed is a good remedy and preventive for constipation. In training a colt teach him one thing at a time and do that thoroughly. When horses have tree access to salt at all times, they are not so apt to suffer from worms. If the horse’s shoulders are clean the collar will not be much dirty. Feeding a horse corn one day, oats the next and something else the next, is a good way to quickly invite indigestion. Wash out the feed troughs, clean the corners of the sour feed, and many a case of colic will be avoided.

Generally cows that consume the most food, produce milk and cream at the lowest rate.
