New Fodder for Horses.
Instead of oats, 100 horses owned by Arbuckle Bros., of Brooklyn,' U.S.A., coffee and sugar refiners,' are fed with molasses. The animals are sleek and fat, and seen to thrive on the diet. A veterinarian first suggested the use of molasses, and after six weeks’ experiment on two of the horses it was decided to use it as good, for all. The veterinary surgeon said he first got the idea from an expert in the United States artillery service, who told him that from 101 b to 161 b of dark mixture was sufficient daily ration for a horse weighing 10001 b. The cost of feed* ing each animal on molasses accord* iug to the doctor, is 16 cents daily*
