Linseed in small quantities, either whole or ground, raw or boiled, is sometimes given to sick horses. It is too nutri tious for a fevered horse, but is very useful for a cough, and it makes the skin loose and the coat glossy. Half a pint may be mixed with the usual feed every night. For a cough it should be boiled, and given in a bran mash, to which two or three ounces of coarse sugar may be added.
