Hats Off to the Faithful Farm Horse!
When man emerged from the dark ages, he had accomplished wonders. Fire was his obedi
ent servant, stone had furnished him a weapon, iron had come to his aid from the ground.
But he had two companions who were of great service to him the horse and the dog. The lat
ter guarded him from surprise and attack at night. The horse carried him swiftly over the
country. Later when he had learned some of the advantages of husbandry, his willing partner,
the horse, helped him with his work. When one stops to think of the debt that man owes to his
faithful friend, he wonders that there should ever be discovered a case of cruelty to him, of his
being beaten, let to go unwatcred and unfed.
