Abstract
In the third annual report of this Station (1892) the result of feeding wide and narrow nutritive rations to horses was given. This trial was favorable to the narrow nutritive ration. This ration was made up of clover, oats and wheat", while the wide ration was made up of timothy and corn. The trial ran through the summer, when the influence of what has been termed heating food, like corn, might be less effective than in the winter season. Many believe that the more varieties of food given the better the result, as the palatableness of food, it is claimed, has a reflex influence on the appetite and digestive system. The weight to be attached to such reasoning is uncertain. The influence of season on the ration to be fed is less doubtful.
