Balanced rations for horses and sheep urged by New England expert
In a New England Homestead discussion Charles W. Burkett urges using corn stover as a cheap winter feed for horses, supplemented with small grain portions. He recommends a daily mix of one pound cottonseed meal, two pounds linseed meal, and two pounds wheat bran, with 2–4 pounds of corn only if work requires it. For sheep, he favors corn fodder and clover, with a grain mix of bran, oats, and corn, plus daily cornstalk or stalk feed, regular hay at least twice daily, clean water, and salt available.
