This Table is computed according to the present prices of horse- provender, -which, though higher by 20 or 25 per cent, than they have been for a considerable time past, may, probably, be consi- dered as an average for some time to come. The annual loss on each horse, occasioned by death, accident, dis- ease, increase of age, and ordinary deterioration, is taken at 10 per- cent. on its supposed value; this part of the expense may, there- fore, be more or less, according to the actual value of each horse.
