How to Tiaal tlii' Noblest Animal
Mils Hern (Uvrn tn Han.
Never waah a horse with cold water
when he is hcutod.
On the farm dispouse with shoes,
unless tie- land is very rocky.
Feed your horse regularly three
tittles dai v. but never over-feed.
Water before feeding, but not while
the horse is hot from work.
Uso the whip very little, and nsver
when the animal shies or stumbles.
Never leave a horse standing un-
hitched, til tho way to make them
runaways.
Do not storm and fret. He quiet
and kind, and the horse will be so too,
in most cases.
Give a horse a large stall and a good
bed at ni ;ht. It is Important that he
lie down to rest.
If a horse is vicious and unmanage
able nt your business, sell it to some
one that can control him.
Hay or other ground feed is indis
pensable, and ground corn or hominy
is better than whoteeorn.
A cotton-card is ono of the best in
struments for grooming a horse. It
cleans better than tho comb.
Do not expect your horse to be
equally good at every thing. The horse,
like the man, must be adapted to its
work.
Near the close of a Journey let tho
horse walk. If covered with sweat rub
off with a rag, to prevent too sudden
cooling.
Collar gall and bruises are benefited
by washing with salt water. Wash
shoulders daily when using the horse.
Brine ll good also for stiff.joints.
When flies are bad, wash tho horse
all over lightly with a weak solution
of carbolic acid, if you have not the
acid, tpply surgcou's oil on the douka,
neck and tender parts.
