CHOOSE DOBBIN'S DINNER CAREFULLY There is much more to old Dobbin then simply giving him little corn or oats and then allowing him to fill up on whatever kind of hay is available.

If the horse. is not doing well on a ration a slight change should be made, but any abrupt change may cause digestive disturbances. The bulletin tells how to compute balanced 1 rations for horses, lists a number of feeds and the value of each and 'suggests maintenance rations for idle horses and for horses doing light or heavy work.
