A landed proprietor observed that a certain number of his horses became sick of colic, and the means resorted to—change of diet, etc.—were of no avail to restore the health of the animals. In this emergency the gentleman in question hit on the idea of using molasses, ajd, lo, the health of the horses not only improved, but since giving molasses to the animals none of them got rick again. For horses two pounds of molasses are given in a mixture of eight to twelve pounds of oatmeal or bran, which is the ration per day for one hone. —Louisiana Sugar Planter.
