THE ROTHÀMSTED EXPERIMENTS: PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR FARMERS, C. J. R. TIPPER, (jFellow Highland and Agricultural Society, dkc.) VIII. HORSES Feeding of Horse.-XC(e8.rity for Supplying Dry Concentrated loods-A Popular Falacy in Feed- ing- Varia.tion of Feeding according as Animal i. Working or Idle-Dangers of Over-condition. In concluding the present series of articles, we have to consider the feeding of horses viewed in the light of the Rot hams ted Experiments. Though taken last, the subject is by no means least in importance indeed, in some respects it is greatest, as it affects not only farmers and tradesmen, but 'bus, tram and railway companies, as well as those who keep horses for pleasure. The object in view in feeding is entirely different from that aimed at with other farm stock. In the latter case, exertion is avoided as much as possible, and the food is so arranged as to fatten the animal in the most economical manner. In the case of the horse, however, increase in weight is not an object, but the point is so to feed as to keep the animal in the best condition for enduring exertion in other words, to feed for the output of muscular work. The old idea which governed the feeding of animals was that the harder an animal worked the more were its muscles used up. This was the reason why athletes ate lean meat and similar food, to make good the muscular waste. The notion has long oeen exploded in the athletic world, but it has dictated, and does dictate, a great many of the rations used by farmers in this country. They do not feed lean meat, but food equivalent to it is largely fed, and the greater the exertion to whk:h the animal is subjected the more albuminous the diet. To this end oats and beans form a large portion of the rations given to farm horses throughout the country. The actual amounts given vary with different districts, higher feeding being probably the rule in the North, but a not uncommon ration will be one and a half stones of oats per day with hay and straw, some of the oats being commonly substituted by beans, say 13 lbs. oats, 5 lbs. beans, 15 lbs. chopped clover hay with straw, and when on pasture h stone of oats per day, this ration being considered suitable for horses at work. Probably this will be thought high, and in many places only half that amount of beans would be given, and some of the hay would be replaced by mangels or swedes but for all that it is a typical example of the principle upon which rations are generally arranged-the supplying of material for wasted muscle. This view of the production of muscular work was long ago questioned by Lawes and Gilbert, and since then it has been proved to be entirely wrong. The fact is the muscles are somewhat like engines—that the force required to move them is not derived from their own wear and tear, which is comparatively small, but by the burning up, not of coal but of food and the foods which are best fitted for this, and consequently to enable a horse to do his work most economically, are not those rich in albuminoids, but in non-albu- minoids-oil, starch and sugar. The practical man will immediately say "But there must be wear and tear of the muscles when they are used." So there is. The muscles need repair like any other machinery, and for that pur- Kse a certain quantity of albuminoids is necessary, t beyond that it is no more economy to specially feed muscle-forming foods when extra labour is required than it would be to feed iron bars into the furnace of an engine, as the additional exertion can best be met by an increase in the oils or fats and sugars of the food. This simile is not 8cientijiwlly accurate on account of the many points of difference between the animal body and an engine, but it illustrates the point in question. If then we suppose a horse at rest receiving a sufficient maintenance diet, the amount of food will require to be increased if we put him to work, but for increase pure starch or oil would do very well, as has been amply proved by experiment. What will, however, appeal more strongly to the practical farmer is the experience in this matter of tramway and'bus companies throughout the King- dom. It has of course been the object of these to get the most work out of their animals at the least expense, provided that they are kept in good con- dition. In the United States there are hundreds of horses used in this way which get nothing but good nay ana maize uuring tne time they are undergoing hard work. The hay supplies the necessary albu- minoids, and the maize the fat and starch. We do not say that this is a feed to be unreservedly re- commended it has too much maize in it for our liking, but it shows how increased labour may be sustained by extra food of a starchy or oily nature, and it must be remembered that maize is the cheapest grain in the market. Here, however, are a few examples taken from the daily rations of large horse-keeping companies, given in the Rothamsted Report in the Highland and Agricultural Society's Transactions. North Metropolitan. Liverpool. Glasgow. -lbs. Ibs. lbs. Beans 2 4 0 Oats 3 0 6 Maize 13 12 11 Hay 9 14 8l Straw 3 1 Bran I Straw There are certain companies who use more beans and oats than are here given, but the tendency is all in favour of increasing the amount of maize when the animal is at work. Here is an example of a ration used by the Paris General Omnibus Company, the amounts given being approximately correct in our system of weights. Oats, 81bs. Maize, lOJlbs. Hay, Silbs. Straw, 811bs. In these cases we have rations derived from com- bined experiment and practice with hundreds of horses, and arranged with the idea of producing work in the most economical way; and they are, therefore, worthy the consideration of every practical man. For a horse at rest, or taking but little exereiae, a diet of 181bs. of hay or (say) lOtbs. of hay and 41bs. oats, would be amply sufficient; if he were at full work it would require to be increased by at least 10lbs. or more. If hay alone be the chief mainten- ance, and maize the extra, we have a diet very like that used by the American companies; while, if oats and hay are used in conjunction with maize, we have a ration similar to that employed by several English companies. circumstances would dictate to the practical man the most suitable food, taking into considera- tion price, etc. but the point to be emphasised is that if the resting diet is a sufficient one, as in good pasture grass, there is no gain in giving beans and peas, or other food, containing a large propor- tion of albuminoids in addition, if the animal is put to work indeed, the giving of these foods in quantity is not only unnecessary, but is in some cases dangerous. We constantly hear of horses being injured by over-feeding, and it is said that in the Lowlands of Scotland large numbers of horses are killed every year by too liberal rations. We should be inclined to think that the real cause is feeding with food containing too great a propor- tion of albuminoids, rather than the mere fact of giving too much corn, though this is far from im- possible. The maintenance diet given is sufficient for an average horse, but would not be enough for a large horse, which would require several pounds more hay but a horse on pasture will always eat sufficient to support itself, except in heavy work. Once a maintenance diet is fixed, the extra food can be regulated according to work, and risk from over-feeding minimised. There is a caution necessary in connection with these results. If a horse is getting old, or if it is over-worked, less maize and more oats or beans may be given with advantage, as over-work to some extent destroys the muscles. In addition, the results are true only for horses which are matured or nearly so, not for those which are still growing. A horse at light work at two years' old, or heavier work at three, and which is still growing, would not be suitably fed by such a diet as many hard-working tram horses get. It must have much less maize and more muscle and bone-forming food-oats, beans, and bran, with Rood hav, in order to ensure its thorough develop- ment. So long as the animal is growing, the great object in feeding must be to ensure its proper development, and this must be kept in view from the first. Forcing is not desirable, but, on the other hand, steady progress must be made, and there should be no stinting of food. Linseed cake, oats, beans, and good hay can all be used to eupplement the pasture when the foal has been weaned, and cut swedes may be given in winter. The care and attention bestowed on the feeding and rearing will be amply repaid when the animal is sold or comes to be used on the farm. As we have already quoted the companies who employ large numbers of horses with regard to the most suitable rations for working horses, we may again make use of their experience in reference to the preparation of foods. They have found it economical to feed cut fodder and ground or bruised grain, for with uncut hay and straw more was required, and with whole grain there was con- siderable loss by reason of the food passing un- digested through the system. In actual experi- ment it was shown that 161bs. grain (ground), 7 cut hay, and 21 cut straw, was equal to 191bs. of unground grain and 131bs. uncut hay-and the horses did equally well on the diet. Though adopted by many farmers, there are several districts where long hay isstill fed from over- I head racks, and unground grain given, but if the experience of these large horse-keepers is to go for anything, the former method should be used where- ever a number of horses are kept, if only on the score of economy. The ground grain is mixed with the cut fodder, slightly damped, and the mixture is fed in a manger. By this arrangement not only is the overhead rack done away with, but the mixing of the ground grain with the chop ensures its thorough mastication, and helps in its digestion. Cooking is not to be recommended in the general preparation of food for horses. Potatoes are steamed before use, and boiled barley is a very good food for horses out of condition through bad teeth, but cooked food, as a rule, has a bad effect. A horse should never be watered immediately after being fed. When a horse drinks, the water does not remain in the stomach, but passes immediately into the bowels. If, then, when a horse has eaten freely, and the stomach is full of food, it is allowed to drink, the water washes some of the food out of the stomach before it has been properly digested, fermentation sets in, and derangement of the bowels, and even death may supervene. A highly fed animal often gives trouble when allowed to rest at the end of the week after having had a full week's work. The legs swell and become tender and stiff, and there is evident inflammation. On account 'of its generally appearing after the rest at the end of the week, it is known as Monday morning evil. The best way to avoid this is to limit the food given after work has ceased, and to give on Saturday night a bran mash with a little saltpetre in it. This has a relaxing effect on the bowels and kidneys, and prevents the disease where there is liability. Many farmers give a bran mash regularly on Saturday night, even where there has been no sign of the complaint, and find it a capital thing for keeping the animals in good health. There should usually be a little rock salt within reach of the horses, as they like to lick it, and in small quantities it seems to have a very beneficial effect. [THE END.]
--RHUDDLAN PARISH COUNCIL.
RHUDDLAN PARISH COUNCIL. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE- CHAIRMAN. THE LAND OWNERS AND ALLOTMENTS. A meeting of the Rhuddlan Parish Council was held at the National Schoolroom on Friday evening. Mr Thomas Evans (Vice-Chairman) occupied the chair, and there were also present: The Vicar (Rev T W Vaughan), Messrs R C Enyon, E Mor- gan, T Hughes, W Jones, W Conwy Bell, and the Rev B Evans (Clerk to the Council). RESIGNATION OF THE CHAIRMAN. The Clerk read a letter from the Rev E Stephens, resigning his position as Chairman from August 30th. He desired to thank the Council for the courtesy and kindness which they had always shown towards him. Mr R C Enyon proposed that the resignation be accepted. Mr W Conwy Bell seconded, and said while they were all sorry that the Rev E Stephens had left Rhuddlan, it was felt that he had done the correct thing in resigninhe position to which that Coun- cil had elected him. He was snre that they were much obliged to him for the services he had ren- dered. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. On the Council proceeding to the election of a chairman, Mr Thos Hughes said he understood that it was the usual custom to elect the Vice- Chairman to the chair whenever there was a vacancy. He therefore proposed that Mr T Evans be elected Chairman of the Council. Mr T Evans said he felt that he would not be able to discharge the duties of Chairman, as he had not the requisite time, but as they were near the end of the year he would do his best if elected. He was prepared to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Council. The Vicar seconded Mr Thos Hughes' proposal, and Mr T Evans was then declared unanimously elected Chairman of the Council until April next. THE VICE-CHAIRMAKSHIP. Mr Enyon said it was customary to cflect a vice- chairman, and he proposed that Mr Thos Hughes be elected to that office. Mr W Jones seconded. Mr Hughes remarked that he would rather not take the office, but the Council were unanimous in carrying the proposal. THE STILE AT GWINDY. It was reported that a committee had met at the Gwindy stile and decided to erect a gate at that place. Mr W Jones said the committee had had their recommendation carried out, and he understood that the newly-erected gate looked very well. Mr W C Bell asked as to the cost of the gate. Mr W Jones replied that he believed it was 38s 6d nett. The Vice-Chairman observed that the stile had been erected without cost to the parish, but The Clerk said the total cost was put down at £ 2 5s lid. In reply to questions, the Vice-Chairman said the work was well done. Mr W C Bell hoped that that would be the last expense of the sort. The Vicar proposed that the Council adopt the report and approve of the action of the committee. The Vice-Chairman seconded. Mr W C Bell asked if it was a fact that the stile had been repaired a week before the gate was fixed, and that the work done was unnecessary. Mr W J ones replied that the stile had been repaired, but the gate had been ordered by that time. Mr W C Bell said he supposed as the work had been done that it must be paid for, he could only enter his protest. The committee's report was then passed. THE POSSESSION OF THE PARISH MAP. The Clerk said Mr Roger Hughes had received a letter from Mr Arthur Rowlands, Assistant Overseer, with regard to the possession of the parish map of Rhuddlan. That gentleman stated that the Rhyl overseers were now claiming the map, and he had therefore submitted the whole matter to Mr Kelly, Clerk of the County Council, for his opinion and advice. Mr W C Bell said he thought that the way Mr Rowlands got bold of the map in the first instance was not very creditable to him, and he felt that it was a great shame that he should hold it. Mr Rowlands had no right to detain it. In the days when the map was procured the Rhyl portion of the parish was only a side wing, and had very little voice in the affairs. Rhuddlan should retain, possession of the map, and if the people of Rb yl wanted to look at it they could do so in the ur,ual way. The Chairman asked how they could bring it about. The "Vicar thought that they would have to wait a little. longer as no reply had been received from Mr Relly. Mr W C Bell asked why the matter should be referred to Mr Kelly, or anyone else, as that gen- tlema.n was not a public arbitrator. Mr Enyon remarked that Mr Kelly had had six weeks in which to decide the question. Th e Vicar said he could not understand the con- duct, of the Assistant Overseer, who seemed to over-rule the Overseers. Mr Enyon asked why the Overseers did not claim it, as surely the mother parish had the first claim. Mr W Conwy Bell said he noticed that all the notices in connection with the Overseers were signed by Mr Arthur Rowlands. By right each overseer should sign his name to the notices, whereas Mr Rowlands simply wrote their names and seenved to rule the roost. Mr Enyon believed that the Assistant Overseer had been spoken to before about the same matter. The Vicar remarked that if the Assistant Over- seer was given permission by the Overseers to sign their names he could not be blamed. It was a matter between the Assistant Overseer and the Overseers. The Chairman questioned whether permission could 1>.) given to an Assistant Overseer to sign for an Overseer. Mr 1,VC Bell said it stood to common sense that to sign another person's name was not right. Mr f Inyon moved that the Overseers of Rhuddlan be requested to write a very strong letter to Mr Rowland a. on the subject. Mr W C Bell seconded, and it was carried umnirr,olisly. THE CASTLE WEIX. The- ICIerk reported that he had written to Mr Kelly. (jlerk to the County Council, asking if he could..) ive information as to whether the well at the Ca stle and the path leading thereto were public or private property. In reply, Mr Kelly stated that he was unable to decide the question, and su ggested that inquiries had better be made at Rhr ddlan. He also thought that the Coun- cillors, who were old residents of Rhuddlan, would be bet ter able to decide such a question than himsel f. The Vicar remarked that he did not think that Mr K elly could be expected to know about the well oi path. The Chairman agreed, and thought that the Counc il would be more likely to be able to decide. It as decided to refer the matter to the sub- corn m: ittee. THE S TATE OF HIGH STREET. It was also re: ported that the Clerk had written to the County Cc uncil as to the condition of High Street, and in re ply Mr Kelly wrote stating that the matter would be laid before the next meeting of the Main Roads Committee. Mr Enyon said the Council would have to wait a little while, as the Main Roads Committee would not meet until November 13th. THE RENTING OF THE CASTLE. A letter was read from the Bodrhyddan Estate Office informing the Council that Capt Rowley Conwy was prepared to rent the Castle to them for £ 20 per annum for a period of three years, and that before any alterations were made a plan should be submitted to Captain Conwy for his approval. The Vicar said he was afraid that the reply they had put the whole question on one side for the present. He did not think that they could accept the responsibility of paying such a rent for the Castle with the hope of getting it back by way of picnics. He would certainly not like to put the ratepayers to any expenditure on that account. His idea had been to get the Castle at a low rental and to spend the money that they received for admission from visitors for improving the place. He desired to make the Castle attractive for visi- tors, and pleasant for the parishioners generally. He did not think that they could possibly under- take to pay JE20 rent, and yet to secure the rate- payers against any loss. The Clerk quite agreed with the Vicar. Mr W Conwy Bell said he had a few observations to make, but desired that they should be consi- dered as unofficial as far as he was personally con- cerned. He thought that Capt Conwy considered that it was impossible to take the matter up. In his (Mr Bell's) opinion it would cost f,100 per an- num to keep the Castle as it should be, and they would not be able to get 920 from the charges for admission. Capt Conwy felt that he would like to see something done, but that at present it would not be possible for the Parish Council to take it at the ratepayers' expense. Nor was he quite certain as to what the Council proposed to do with the Castle if they rented it. If the Council considered it would be better to talk the matter over with Capt Conwy no doubt that gentleman would re- ceive a deputation. The Vicar did not think that they would be able to do anything further at present, but hoped for the future. Mr W Conwy Bell asked if the Parish Council had formed an opinion as to what they really in- tended to do with the Castle. They did not seem to have gone into the matter. Had they done so he was afraid that they would have found it a bigger job than they anticipated. The Vice-Chairman supposed that Capt Rowley Conwy had a reason for asking such a price. His reason for asking the Committee to move in the matter was to secure a place where the parishioners would be able to go for pleasure, as at present they had really no place for recreation. If it were possible to take the Castle on a lease for about 20 years they might think it worth their while to undertake the expense, but they could not think of securing the Castle under the present circum- stances. He regretted that, as at present the pub- lic house was the only place where men could go. Mr W Conwy Bell asked where the Council would get money from to alter the Castle. The Vice-Chairman supposed that they would have to take it from the rates. Mr W Conwy Bell: Don't you think there are enough rates already ? The Vice-Chairman was of opinion that the Castle would pay for itself. Mr W Conwy Bell was sure that the Council would have to spend a very large sum of money. At present the Castle only just paid its way. On the motion of Mr Morgan, it was decided to leave the matter in abeyance. THE RAILWAY RATES QUESTION. A letter wrs read from Mr Henshaw, Goods Manager of the L. & N.W. Railway, Chester, re- plying to the Council's letter asking that a deputa- tion should be received on the question of the rail- way rates from Rhuddlan. He regretted that at present he had not a day open to receive a deputa- tion, but suggested that any particulars that could be forwarded to the office should be sent on, as the matter might be capable of being dealt with by correspondence. Mr Neale sent a similar letter with reference to the passenger rates. Mr W Conwy Bell proposed that the Council do not enter into correspondence with the railway officials, as at Chester a large staff of Clerks were employed and he was afraid that if they once started that they would never get at an end. He also proposed that the Council ask the railway officials to receive a deputation at Rhuddlan, as he believed that they would be able to do more in a quarter of an hour than they could manage by correspondence in twelve months. Mr Enyon seconded, and it was carried. THE ALLOTMENT QUESTION. Mr Griffies Dixon, as agent for the Bodelwyddan Estate, wrote with regard to the Council's applica- tion for allotments, that Sir William Grenville Williams was afraid that he had no land suitable for allotment purposes which he could let the Parish Council. A letter was read from Mr Jos Griffiths, who occupies a cottage on the Bodelwyddan Estate, asking the Council if they could let him have about a quarter of an acre of ground, as at present he had no land attached to his cottage. Mr W Jones said he did not think that the Act laid down any particular time or way for making applications as to allotments, and as Mr Jos Griffiths was present, he proposed that he be questioned. Mr Enyon asked if Mr Griffiths had applied to Sir Wm Grenville Williams for land. Mr Jones said he cculd not answer that question. Mr W Conwy Bell: Does not Sir William provide gardens for his tenants ? The Vicar It seems not. Mr W Conwy Bell Captain Conwy does. Mr Griffiths then stepped forward, and in reply to questions said he had never made a personal application to Sir William. While he had no garden the cottages near to his house were well provided for in that respect. He would like a little garden. In reply to the Vicar, the applicant said he had spokes to the agent of the estate about a garden, and that that gentleman said he would ree Sir William about it, but that was a long time ago. Mr W Conwy Bell considered that it was neces- sary that every man should have a little land at- tached to his cottage, so that he could grow a few potatoes. Mr Griffiths stated that there were about seven tenants who had no land. On the motion of Mr W Jones, the Clerk was directed to write to Sir Wm Grenville Williams referring to the particular cases. The Council shortl v afterwards rose.
