Change of Diet Good For Horses.

When horses are not thrifty it may be attributed to sameness of diet. A pint of linseed meal three times a week will loosen the hide, and the animal will soon show the effects of such an addition to its food. If the bowels are moved too freely by the linseed meal reduce the supply. Linseed meal is harmless, and no danger will result from its use, but it should not be fed too freely to mares with foals. Carrots should also be given in connection with linseed meal. And, last but not least, don’t forget a constant and thorough use of the currycomb and brush.—Farm Progress.
