The first few nioutufuls of feed are readily read-ily accessible, but thereafter the animal ani-mal must toss his head so as to throw the grain that Is out of reach Into his mouth. This results In enormous wantf, due to spilling of ti e grain out Sp v Automatic Feed Bag. 9f the bag. Mr. Dutney's invention ttms to overcome this defect by a oovel construction of feed-bag, In which the feed Is stored in pockets at each side and feeds automatically to the bottom of the bag. The bag U oH-n at the front and back except for the shallow box at the bottom, thus providing ample breathing space. There Is no waste of the grain, for It Is fed to the animal as he eats It, and the feed la regulated so that ho cannot bolt bis food. The feed pockets are very readily filled. The tongueless buckles on the strap permit of adjusting ad-justing the bag sungly to any animal, whether his head be long or short |
