monty thought to be; but horses are general
ly fond of it, and if allowed, would often eat
too much. 1t is supposed that saccharIne
matter is developed by the fermentation
which hay undergoes in the NOW, and as
that which is NOW burnt appears to contain
more saccharine matter than any other, 1t is
probable that it may be found preferable
where used with discretion, provided it has
not been too much heated; for when it has
become quite brown there will generally be
found considerable degree of acidty in it,
which probably would be injurious if eaten
freely. Hay that is dry and void of smell is
certainly bad; but that which is dusty, moul-
dy. and of bad smell is exceedingly prelu-
dicial. Dry hay should be moistened with
water and if at all dusty, should be previous
iy we'll shaken: this is particularly neccs-
sary when it is used for horses that are gree
dy of water or subject to coughs.-Hay at
ter 1t is one year old, rather becomes worse
than improves, particularly in small mows /:
after the second year, it should never be used
when any that is newer can be procured
perhaps good straw is preferable to 1t, espe-
cially if the horse is allowed good quantl-
ty of oats. Horses should be allowed either
